The Metropolis skyline at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is getting a major superhero shake-up, and fans won’t have to wait long to experience the first wave of the action. In a joint announcement by destination developer Miral and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, the massive indoor theme park on Yas Island unveiled plans for two brand-new DC Comics attractions, including an interactive spinning thrill ride debuting this summer and a massive, next-generation flying roller coaster slated for the near future.
The first attraction to cross the finish line is Kryptonite Collider, an immersive, high-energy experience launching on July 26, 2026. The storyline kicks off the moment guests step into the queue, where they are recruited as “test subjects” for Lex Luthor’s ambitious Everyman Project. Once strapped into the 32-guest centrifuge-style ride vehicle, riders are swept through a vortex of powerful motion, brought to life via synchronized onboard audio and striking lighting effects designed to simulate a chaotic surge of raw power.

For those looking to experience true heroics instead of villainous plots, the park is also constructing a heavyweight coaster anchor scheduled to open in 2028. Dubbed Superman Up and Away, this next-generation flying roller coaster will launch guests into a face-down ride position, suspending them in a mid-air flight posture to simulate soaring right alongside the Man of Steel on an exhilarating mission to protect Metropolis.
The two high-flying additions arrive during a massive growth phase for the park, which is also currently developing the Middle East’s first-ever Harry Potter-themed land. Park leadership sees the new DC investments as a calculated move to keep the destination at the cutting edge of global entertainment. In a statement reported by Blooloop, Jonathan Brown, chief portfolio officer at Miral, noted that the introduction of these new DC-themed attractions marks an exciting chapter in the continued evolution of Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi while further enriching its world-class offerings.

World Abu Dhabi. We can’t wait to see fans experience a bold new side of Metropolis.”
