The Justice League: Battle for Metropolis dark ride will debut at Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Mexico in 2016.
Similar Sally dark rides debuted at Six Flags over Texas and Six Flags St. Louis in 2015.
“Introducing an attraction that combines this level of technology and the iconic DC Comics characters will bring an unmatched, interactive experience to our guests in 2016,” stated Hank Salemi, Six Flags Great America park president. “The addition of Justice League: Battle for Metropolis is another example of our park’s commitment to delivering new and innovative thrills every year.”

- A 4D ride experience with wind, fire, mist and fog effects, plus life-like animatronic characters;
- A dramatic fight as the “Justice League Reserve Team” travels through laughing gas and flames in 10 high-intensity scenes;
- One of the first-ever virtual loops, giving riders the feeling of going head over heels;
- High definition 3D animation that fully immerses riders into the city of Metropolis;
- State-of-the-art gaming elements;
- 6-passenger vehicles with multi-degrees-of-freedom to transport riders through all the exciting twists and turns without limitations.

What are your thoughts on these two parks receiving “Battle for Metropolis” dark rides? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Why is Six Flags Great America getting a Justice League dark ride with the fairly nearby Six Flags St. Louis has one. It seems a bit redundant and uneeded to me. Six Flags Mexico on the other hand I understand. There are other parks in the chain that benefit from one more than Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain, any of the East Coast Six Flags Parks and possibly over Georgia. They could have used that spot for something else (and likely better).
