Pop up Marvel theme park prepares to tour the US
Dates and locations for the hotly-anticipated “The Marvel Experience: The World’s First Hyper-Reality Tour” – a pop up Marvel theme park which will tour the US – have been revealed by the company’s chief creative officer, Joe Quesada at the New York Comic Con.
The travelling two acre attraction – which encompasses seven colossal Domes, a life-size Avengers Quinjet, the world’s only 360-degree, 3-D stereoscopic full-Dome attraction and a 4-D motion ride – has been produced by Los Angeles-based entertainment company Hero Ventures.
The tour will make its first stop in Phoenix, Arizona from 12 December, 2014 to 3 January, 2015 in preview format, before making its world premier at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas, on 9 January. It will stay there for three weeks before moving on to San Diego and San Francisco, before heading back toward the east coast of the US, with future dates to be announced on a rolling basis.
The attraction will feature an array of interactive games and original animated short films associated with the Marvel brand. These include – amongst others – Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, Wolverine and The Avengers.
With this dynamic new way to experience entertainment, you’re actually in the middle of the action from start to finish,” said Hero Ventures CEO, Rick Licht. “While I’m sure kids will eat this up, we know that there is an extensive Marvel fan base over the age of 25 – and we’ve created this event with them in mind. The grown-ups are going to absolutely love The Marvel Experience!”
