Stark Flight Lab looks like two rides in one — featuring a stationary Kuka RoboCoaster motion simulator and separate tracked ride experience. The robot arms will grab the pods and whirl riders around in a simulated flight.
Marvel star Robert Downey Jr., who will play the supervillain Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” in 2026, will reprise his role as Iron Man/Tony Stark for both new attractions.
An opening date has not been announced for the two new attractions that will be part of the DCA Avengers Campus expansion.
