Justice League_KeyArtHere comes a game changer for Six Flags. One of the major players in the Theme Park Haunt market in southern California has announced a brand new attraction for 2017. Magic Mountain — in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment — today announced their newest innovation in immersive thrills, JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis — Ride. Play. Triumph.

Building on the success of the Justice League attractions installed around the world, the next generation of the award-winning Six Flags ride will now feature a spectacular new finale, new game targets and the introduction of one of DC’s hottest Super-Villains, Harley Quinn (hubba-hubba). This cutting-edge attraction thrusts riders into the DC Universe featuring interactive content, but with another new twist. This version will feature one of the first-ever virtual 360-degree loops on an attraction, and interactive 180-degree toroidal screens that allow riders to experience state-of-the-art gaming while riding in six-passenger pitch and roll motion-based vehicles synced to custom action-packed scenes featuring the most iconic DC characters.

The attraction, which is slated to open at the Valencia theme park spring 2017, will recruit riders into becoming members of the JUSTICE LEAGUE Reserve Team. The ride will feature a multi-sensory four minute game experience with wind, fire, fog and special effects as guests battle alongside the iconic Super Heroes, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg and Green Lantern to save the city of Metropolis from Lex Luthor, The Joker and his henchmen. Also wreaking havoc will be Harley Quinn, The Joker’s favorite sidekick.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis is Designed and built by Sally Corporation, the Jacksonville, Florida-based dark ride specialists, and Alterface Projects.
