Three Six Flags Parks adding "Battle for Metropolis" in 2017

After the successes of Justice League: Battle for Metropolis attractions at Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags St. Louis in 2015, Six Flags added the attraction to Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Mexico this past season.

Now, Six Flags is at it again, adding three new Battle for Metropolis attractions this season; Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Six Flags Great Adventure.

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.

“Six Flags Magic Mountain is thrilled to once again ‘up the ante’ in Southern California’s theme park mecca and introduce one of the most state-of-the-art, innovative motion-based attraction in the world – the next generation of Six Flags award-winning Justice League: Battle for Metropolis,” said Bonnie Sherman Weber, Six Flags Magic Mountain park president. “There is nothing like this anywhere in the world where riders are actually playing an interactive game while riding an action-packed high-intensity attraction. Leveraging the greatest Super Hero brands of all time, Batman and Superman, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis is like a video game come to life – an immersive, multi-sensory experience with the most sophisticated technology available that is sure to deliver an unprecedented experience to thrill seekers of all ages.”

Each ride will feature:

A 23,624 square foot Hall of Justice to house the full-sensory thrill ride;
A 4D ride experience with wind, fire, mist, fog and special effects;
Life-like animatronic characters including Harley Quinn, Cybor, The Joker and his Henchmen, and Lex Bots;
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 shown on the first-ever, 180-degree interactive toroidal screens that fully immerses riders into the city of Metropolis;
State-of-the-art Gaming elements that put the riders into the interactive content where they compete with friends and family;
6-passenger pitch and roll motion-based vehicles with multi-degrees-of-freedom to transport riders through all the exciting twists and turns without limitations, and
Two pre-show rooms featuring larger-than-life interactive characters.

Like previous “Battle for Metropolis” Attractions, the company behind the ride is noted dark ride pioneers Sally Corp, along with Alterface Projects.
