New for 2016! 4D interactive thrill ride, JUSTICE LEAGUE
Six Flags Great America will debut a brand new 4D interactive thrill ride in May 2016, JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis. This new adventure will feature state-of-the-art technology, high-tech video graphics, and a full-sensory gaming experience that puts you right in the middle of the action.
After wandering the unbelievable 22,000 square foot Hall of Justice, you’ll board your unique twisting six-passenger vehicle. Armed with a laser stun gun, you’ll travel through a series of incredible scenes around the city of Metropolis, interacting with life-like animatronic characters, 3D animated images, and 4D experiences like fire and fog to save your favorite super heroes from the evil villains. This adventurous ride also features one of the first-ever virtual loops and real-time gaming elements to compete against other riders.
Everywhere you look, state-of-the-art 4D imagery will draw you deeper into the adventure. Your unique transporter will take you piloting through a realistic 4D environment.
Can you thwart The Joker’s evil plan to infect the city with laughing gas? Only if you’re brave enough to join the JUSTICE LEAGUE Reserve Team!
