Disney Parks’ first Marvel-themed ride, Iron Man Experience, has debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland.
 
The Stark Expo in Tomorrowland takes guests on an adventure featuring a special Expo-edition Iron Wing flight vehicle flying alongside Iron Man in the Hong Kong sky for a panoramic view of the Hong Kong Stark Tower.
 
This first Iron Man ride-through attraction and immersive interactive experience make Hong Kong proud, as more than 70 Disney Imagineers from the city contributed their talent, working hand in hand with the international Walt Disney Imagineering team and the Marvel team to create this world’s first Iron Man-themed area.
 
"We are always pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation so that our guests can step into the magical worlds of their favorite stories and meet their most beloved characters," said Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.


"We're thrilled to be adding the high-tech, action-packed universe of Marvel to Hong Kong Disneyland, and we'll continue building on it as we move into the resort's next phase of expansion."


The Iron Man Experience has received encouraging feedback from the travel trade and guests since its soft opening in mid-December. Among the 270 travel trade partners who attended the preview, 95 per cent believed their customers would enjoy the ride, 91 per cent would visit Hong Kong Disneyland specifically for the new attraction and 88 per cent said customers would visit the park more frequently as a result.
 
From now, guests staying at the resort’s two hotels will receive a Priority Admission Pass*of Iron Man Experience to shorten the wait for their turn on the Marvel-themed ride at a designated time shown on the pass. Play and Dine Ticket Combo including 1-Day tickets and a meal voucher, as well as 2-Day tickets under special rate are also available from today (January 11) until July 14, 2017, enabling guests to enjoy twice as much fun.
