Get ready for the new daily show

Iron Man is coming to Disneyland Hong Kong

October 8th, 2013 by Marc Comments

A while back we reported that Disneyland Hong Kong would be the first Disney Park to get an attraction based on a Marvel property, and we now know what that is.

According to Disney fan club site D23, the new ride will be the Iron Man Experience. Attendees will be treated to a mock up of the Stark Expo where they will get to see the evolution of the Iron Man suit as well as other Stark technologies. Once the car for the ride is entered you will join Iron Man as he battles against the forces of evil against the backdrop of the streets and skies of Hong Kong. There will also be opportunities to have your picture taken with Iron Man. No word on when the attraction will open for sure, all we have is sometime in 2016 for now.

I pretty much have no hope of experiencing this ride for myself, but I pray for it’s success as that will likely lead to more Marvel themed rides in more Disney Parks.

 

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
