The Iron Man Experience
It starts with billionaire inventor Tony Stark hosting Stark Expo in Tomorrowland. He shows guests his latest inventions displayed in the Hall of Mobility, Hall of Energy, Hall of Protection, and Hall of Legacy. Guests fly side by side with Iron Man riding his own creation, The Iron Wing. Then HYDRA attacks Hong Kong and Iron Man is the only one who can protect the city and its’ people.
The whole attraction took Marvel and Disney three years to create. Guests will experience the best devices and technology the world has to offer. It is one experience that will immerse guests in an unforgettable fight between good versus evil. The question is how is Iron Man going to save and protect Hong Kong from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most powerful adversary? Iron Man is alone and needs your help. Suit up!
The attraction features some of Hong Kong’s famous landmarks. It includes the streets of Kowloon and the CBD. It also includes Victoria Harbour and the mountain ranges.

Guests enjoy the best 3-D projectors, realistic flight simulation devices, and the best surround sound system. Nothing compares to it. The whole thing ends at the Hong Kong Stark Tower.
From now until the attraction opens, more Iron Man mini attractions are being set up. An expo shop dedicated to the attraction just opened and sells Iron Man and Marvel products.
