ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:SIX), the world's largest regional theme park company, through a partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment —unveils a behind-the-scenes look at new components of the 4D interactive dark ride experience named JUSTICE LEAGUE: BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS 4D. The thrilling new rides are headed to Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Over Texas in 2015.

"An enormous amount of detail and creativity has gone into producing what will be one of the most exciting and immersive dark rides experiences in the industry," said Tom Iven, senior vice president of U.S. park operations for Six Flags.

Guests will be part of the action as they fight alongside SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, THE FLASH and the rest of the JUSTICE LEAGUE team, to stop Lex Luthor and The Joker from their diabolical plan to take control of Metropolis. Aided by the cybernetic Super Hero known as CYBORG, guests will be recruited to join the JUSTICE LEAGUE reserve team and trained to use high-tech laser blasters in preparation for anything the Super-Villains have in store for them. Traveling in six-passenger vehicles, riders take to the streets and take aim against The Joker, Lex Luthor, and his relentless robot army, in the thrilling BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS!

The multi-degrees-of-freedom motion-based ride vehicles were created by Oceaneering and are equipped with six interactive laser blasters per vehicle to help guests find the JUSTICE LEAGUE and free them from their captors. Complete with 4D effects of simulating fire, cannon blasts, and explosions, JUSTICE LEAGUE: BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS is the ultimate dark ride adventure.

"By incorporating the dynamic ride system created by Oceaneering, along with the massive 3D screens, interactive game play, and highly detailed scenery by Sally Corp., we can achieve the next generation of interactive thrills," said John Wood, CEO of Sally Corporation, the industry leader in dark rides and creator of the lifelike animatronic Super Heroes.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS will feature custom-designed, state-of-the-art animatronics. The Joker's lifelike movements and menacing cackle will haunt riders as he sits atop his chaos-creating cannon spreading mayhem throughout the streets of Metropolis. The four-minute journey incorporates a wide array of special effects including five huge interactive 3D screens, incredible hi-definition animation and a dramatic musical score.

Six Flags is still keeping broader details about the ride experience under wraps, but Iven said park guests can look forward to a completely new experience with JUSTICE LEAGUE: BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS as it is "the very first motion-based, interactive dark ride in North America"

Finished reading Justice League: Trinity War and I reaaaaaally liked that one. The Story was a real page turner with an intriguing mistery,great action and serves as a really good lead in for Forever Evil. The Tie-Ins I couldnt care less about. The Pandora ones were kinda alright but the Phantom Stranger one was just boring. I also hated the way they characterised Batman in that one. He was a bit too jokey for my taste.

The Main story was really good though and I am glad that I got back into DC :lol

I'm looking to dabble in DC Comics since I've been so Marvel-focused for most of my life. It was hard picking a character to follow since so many of them just seem so unappealing to me. But then I found out about Blue Beetle & I gotta say I'm interested. I hope to start on his New 52 story sometime soon but I'm a little discouraged since I can only find the first 2 volumes. Is that all he has? Does he have others that I just happened to miss? Is he in other books? What's your opinion of his story & character? Thanks in advanced!

Trinity War wasn't bad, but I think the build-up should've been longer. JLA had barely existed before it was drawn into the event (and subsequently broken up). I'm also still ambivalent about the Atom reveal; it was well done and a legit surprise, but I really, really liked her before that happened.

Finished Grant Morrisons run on Action Comics today and while its neither the best Superman story nor the best Morrison story I´ve read I really loved it. I´m a sucker for multidimension/time travil stories and I got all of that in here. Plus that Morrison is one of the few writers that really gets what Superman is all about.

The new take on the young Kal-El is also something I enjoyed about the run. There were moments when I thought he was a bit too extreme for my tastes but most of the time I enjoyed where Morrison was going with the character and its a great basis for Clark to grow into the Superman we all know and love.

Anyway, I've read Morrison's run twice, and I still haven't totally figured out what I think of it. I'm 90% sure that I loved it.

Except for Morrison and the stuff Geoff Johns is doing right now I have read nothing from Superman so far in the N52 that I actually enjoyed. Is the recent stuff done by Greg Pak any good?

I read the first eight issues a bunch of time but never had a chance to read the rest of it and like pretty much all of Morrisons stuff you have to do alot of work to get behind the story but when you do its so worth it.

I just loved how he uses issue placement to get the reader into the same mindset Superman is so when the revelation hits why the story is so confusing its all the more rewarding.

Honestly? That might be a good idea, both from a marketing and a storytelling standpoint.

I miss the days when we could just sit down and watch a single movie without having to watch 300 other movies to go with it.

This is just incredible in all honesty. It allows them to expand that universe but with a much smaller budget, and they could even introduce a live action version of the character at some point on either of those shows that can seamlessly make the transition from this one. I am floored by this.

I know Vixen isn't on most people's radar, but a female hero getting her own animated series with this kind of exposure is huge.
