Here is the Main entrance. There are Shield agents throughout, pretty cool.

So you get a wristband with a RFID on it. You create a profile and it tracks your scores. There are games inside and basically you place your wrist by the reader and it identifies you.

Upon entrance its a news cast talking about these Shield Domes appearing. Naturally Jameson was blaming Spider-man for them.

This was a cool piece. Just about everything was touch screen, the orange dots are enemies. You can tap the dot and it shows you who it is with a brief bio. Then you have these Alerts that pop up. Basically several enemies are converging on an area. You have to identify the threat level, and decide how to react, deploy Shield, Deploy Avenger or Avengers team. Basically the enemies have threat levels assigned so that's how you decide what to do.

My wife with T'Challa, I believe the entire Avengers Cast was Iron Man, Cap, Fury, Spidey, Hulk, She Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Thor and Iron Fist. I was a bit disappointed that Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel wasn't there.

Classified files which were some famous covers, a little something for the comic fans. Also had these little screens all over where you can look up character bios.

This was one of the games, Spider-man wall climbing. Its like a mini rock wall on a huge vertical treadmill. Above there is a video showing you and Spidey- climbing up the building.

Kind of like an IMAX movie, this was projected on the top. Fury and company bringing you up to speed.

Ok this was super hard. One of the games was Black Widow's Maze where there are lasers and you have to get to the end and back, hitting these checkpoint buttons without breaking a laser beam. One hit adds 30 seconds to your time. Expert was impossible, at every checkpoint some lasers are added so its basically impossible to get through unscathed. But lots of fun!!

At the very very end a little message from Stan.

This was a very cool area. You got to pose with several characters.

There are these pads you stand on, and doing a specific pose, summons a character for photo ops. It's pretty awesome!

This is on the outside of Black Widows maze, good for some photos.

I'll try to get some more photos. There was a Hulk Smash game where you have to punch things. There was a Shooting Gallery hosted by Vision, Cap, Thor and others. Imagine Duck Hunt but in a room with 30 people total. There was also an Iron Man Flight game, where you have to lean to turn and raise your arms to fire repulsor rays. The main area reminds me of a giant arcade. Can easily spend hours there between all the games and just cool stuff too look at. Lines moved really fast, BW maze had longest line but as I said, they moved pretty quickly.

I will not post photos of the last 2 parts. But 4d it was. it a dome that your in and the action is all around you, up, to the sides and behind. It's epic, all I remember was having this giant grin on my face. You just realize your like a kid again. Its so unbelievably fun!!!

 

Bring your wallets, they have a gift shop with some awsome stuff. Got like 4 shirts and a Tumbler cup as well as Coffee cup. Its awesome, some of the shirts are Under Armour so you can have your Shield shirt on when at the gym or whatever.

 

Definitely worth the $30/$40 bucks they charge. It said expect the tour to be 90-120 minutes....we were there from 7 until 11pm.

 

Oh there was no cosplayers, but I saw one older woman in a Supergirl outfit, which kind of upset me but I don't know why.

Nice recap! I am still on the fence a little bit though. It looks fun but video game like at the same time which I don't know if I will like.

It really depends what your looking for. It's a nice story that your a part of as the recruit. My wife and I have no kids but we had a blast so I wouldn't say its just for kids. Its cools games to play and you can really geek out with all the stuff there. The 360 theater and 4d show is cool.

 

I mean what is your main reason that your hesitant? Maybe I can answer a question or something???

 

It may not be for everyone, based upon my experience, its a fun way to spend an evening.

She probably didn't even know Supergirl isn't Marvel. (shrug)

 

Very likely, who knows. Thanks for reading my recap!
