HONG Kong Disneyland has announced it will open a new themed area in late 2016 based on Iron Man, one of some 7,000 plus characters that are part of the Marvel entertainment brand.
Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said: “Since Marvel became part of the Disney family (in 2009), our Imagineers have been dreaming up exciting new ways for our guests to experience their favourite Marvel characters and stories. We are thrilled to bring this first attraction featuring Iron Man to Hong Kong Disneyland.”
This e-ticket attraction will include a storyline that takes place in the streets and skies of Hong Kong. Guests will have the opportunity to see the progression of Iron Man suits and other Tony Stark innovations as well as take flight with Iron Man on an epic adventure against the forces of evil.
The experience will also include a Marvel merchandise location and an area where guests can meet and take photos with Iron Man.
In the past two years, Disneyland’s other themed areas, such as Toy Story Land, Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Point have increased the size of the park by about 25 per cent, bringing the number of attractions and entertainment offerings at the park to more than 100.
Staggs said the Iron Man Experience “underscores commitment to and confidence in the continued growth of Hong Kong Disneyland”.
