The Iron Man Experience makes history, becoming the first Marvel-based attraction in a Disney theme park. The newest addition to Hong Kong Disneyland's Tomorrowland is a 3D motion simulator intertwining scenic parts of Hong Kong and the comic.
Guests make their way to Hong Kong's Stark Tower and through their journey, whizz alongside Iron Man himself, through the streets of West Kowloon and fly over iconic HK landmarks.
The attraction also features the Iron Man Tech Showcase, where fliers can meet the superhero face to face. The photo-op is one of Disney's most unique meet-and-greet experiences to-date. Guests can also play interactive games and purchase Iron Man-themed food and beverages, as well as merchandise.
This official opening is the first domino to fall in Hong Kong's major overhaul scheduled throughout the next half-a-dozen years.
