The Marvel Experience

If you are an adult who has kids who are really into superheroes, then your kids will love this. It has a fun setup where you get to be a SHIELD agent and you have to go through some training before you get to the big 4-​D finish. So, like I said, your kids will have a blast at the challenges and the end result. This will let them use their imagination and totally make their day as they feel like a part of the Avengers.
If you are an adult who is really into superheroes but doesn’t have children, then you will probably feel pretty meh about it. Unfortunately, I was a part of this group. Overally, It was okay. I had fun with the friends I went with, but for the price of admission, it’s really not worth it. We spent the majority of our time waiting in lines for the training challenges. And it was mostly arcade type stuff. I enjoyed Black Widow’s laser maze a lot, but once again there was a pretty long line for it.

If you are a nerd like me and always wanted to become a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, you need to locate the nearest Marvel Experience location ASAP!
My friends and I took the long 3 hour drive from LA to San Diego to catch the Marvel Experience on their last weekend before they packed up and moved to San Francisco. I got super hyped up when we drive into the parking lot of the horse track and saw the huge domes that were set up surrounded by the shipping containers marked with the S.H.I.E.L.D logos.
This is random, but I have to rave about their restroom trailer! Since we made the 3 hour drive we really had to go and they had a large restroom trailer set up near the entrance/​exit. Once you stepped inside the air conditioned trailer you were transported into a fancy hotel restroom with wood trim everywhere. We were all pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, once they check your tickets and do a bag check, you are let inside the S.H.I.E.L.D compound and can register yourself for your badge. There is a little bit of a wait to get inside since there is a revolving door to enter that only allows one person to enter at a time. You are given a wristband as you enter and wait in the first section of the compound for a quick intro video. You are then ushered into the Mobile Command Center and are greeted by Director Fury. Then you are directed into the best part of the experience in the training center where you are let loose to explore. There were lots of exhibits to look at and many interactive activities. My favorites were the Black Widow agility maze where you try to dodge lasers while trying to hit targets and the Spiderman wall climb where you climb an automated rock climbing wall to help Spiderman catch a villain.
At the end there is a large shop where you can buy a ton of Marvel gear. It is very pricey but you will want everything! They even had a 3D scanner/​printer that would turn you into an action figure posing with your favorite Marvel superhero.
We all had a blast! I would definitely recommend for all Marvel fans to experience it!

When people ask me why I don’t smile, I always tell them that I am. I’m smiling inside. You’d have to get to know me for me to explain why that is but if you did know me, you’d know that when I was at the Marvel Experience last weekend, I had a huge smile that wouldn’t go away; on the inside.
From the moment I arrived at the Fairgrounds and was being ushered to VIP parking, mere steps from the entrance of the place, until the end of my day, where I was hanging out in the VIP lounge, snacking and drinking while watching either The Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy, with all the Marvel swag that comes as part of the VIP package.
Anyway — attractions like this, remind of me of my childhood and though I felt I had a rough upbringing, the fact that I’m still alive and not in jail allows me to appreciate a lot of those things my parents gave me when I was a kid — like comic books and action figures. I wasn’t and am still not one of those who can recite the entire history of the superheroes because for me, all of that was pure fun. Super powers, good versus evil. I’m almost certain it’s why I pursued being in law enforcement when I was younger.
So, if you could read my mind last weekend, you’d know that I felt like I was time warped back to being a kid and I absolutely love feeling like that. Looking at the exhibits showing the Marvel character’s tools of his/​her trade, the interactive attractions like the shooting gallery or the flight simulator and even a motion ride. Even just checking out the Marvel store which signifies the end of the experience or tour was pretty cool. At least it was for me; just as the whole experience was.

Hey Ladies — for those of you who like dudes that dress up and pretend they’re an action hero (and you’re too broke to afford going to Comic Con), then THIS is the event you must must must come to.
I say that in half jest b/​c I went with two guys that love Marvel and they didn’t dress up all weird and whacky.
Friend got 4 tickets for free to this event so I was lucky enough to attend The Marvel Experience without charge (thank goodness b/​c I woulda been pissed if I had to pay for this — not b/​c it sucked — just b/​c I’m not into this stuff).
NOTE: Del Mar Fairgrounds charges $ 10 bucks for parking
The domes do indeed look amazing and I was actually kinda excited to try this out. You’re greeted by people that instruct you to go to the ID station to enter your info and take pics. Don’t be a sucker and pay for these ID’s at the end — they email you the ID right away and you can easily print it out for free when you get home
Then you’re directed to a green room where they want to take more pics of you so they can up sell those pics to you at the end of the experience.
I was surprised that all the animation didn’t feature more ‘realness’ of the actors I’ve seen playing these characters in movies. For example, Tony Stark looked nothing like Robert Downey and Captain America didn’t look like Chris Evans. All the Marvel characters just looked like cartoons to me for some reason. So that kinda killed it for me as I’ve dreamed about marrying Ironman or Captain America (that’s actually true statement).
My friends had a good time but we all agreed that the full price of a ticket here wouldn’t warrant what we experienced that dusk evening. ALL the staff we encountered were great. So enthusiastic (imagine the staff at Space Mountain @ Disney except these guys here seemed more genuine).
I would recommend this event to those who have kids that enjoy Marvel. Groupon was selling discounted tickets so make sure to research for the best prices before you buy directly from Ticketmaster (whom STILL charges a lame processing fee).

I unfortunately didn’t make it to the Unilocal event here… but scored some tickets to go with the family… after my visit… i realize I had the better deal… it just wouldn’t have been all that fun without the kids.
heads up… plan for at least 3 hours here (more actually)…you go through a series of rooms …
first.outside.sign up and take pic for your id cad
2^nd…take a group photo… option to purchase later… i didn’t even look at ours. so tired by the time we got to that.
3^rd…finally inside the first dome. video
4^th…next dome… another room with video projected on the dome… super cool!
5^th…interactive room with tons of stuff for kids to do… snack bar is in here… popcorn has unlimited refills (but no free water anywhere!!!) …then $ 4 for a tiny bottle of water x however many people in your group (this room took us over 2 hours and there were 2 things we never got to)
6^th…another video room… super duper cool!
7^th…huge dome theatre… virtual ride kinda thing… yay!!!
last…gift shop and photo viewing area…(i skipped this)…
glad we had an 11:30 am slot. i would have never gotten my kids to their other commitments if it was any later…
have fun!

Tony Stark: You got a family?
Yinsen: Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?
Tony Stark: [quietly] No.
Yinsen: So you’re a man who has everything… and nothing.
Iron Man
My first comic book was Batman. Somehow I convinced my mom to get it for me off the spinner rack from Sav-​on. :-) After many years of spending a week each summer at Comic-​Con I never found out what it would be like to fly in Iron Man’s armor and blast drones with repulsor rays. Today I found out. It’s pretty hard to fly with boot jets and shoot enemies at the same time. There were a bunch of cool displays but the real fun was the simulators. The 3D target practice simulator was really fun. Reminded me of the old shooting gallery on Tom Sawyer’s Island at Disneyland. The 4D battle with Modok at the end was really cool. It was a lot like Star Tours at Disneyland.
The Marvel Experience is a good start. With more action it would be excellent. For instance it would be awesome if you could soar the space ways on the Silver Surfer’s surfboard or battle Frost Giants as Thor. :-) Gift shop at the end was ok but it could have been really cool if they had some Marvel pinball and arcade games you could play as mom gets you some souvenirs. 5 more months till Comic-​Con. :-)

Fun, but optimized for ages 5 to 17-​and-​a-​half…
Having read many preview articles about this first-​of-​its-​kind interactive entertainment event, I really had to see what all the fuss was about so made plans to check out The Marvel Experience.
As a pretend S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit, you’re sent through five different domes, each filled with hands-​on challenges or video adventures.
The second dome is clearly the one to spend the most time in as it’s filled with several videogame (think: Wii goes super high tech with some amazing video quality) and tactile activities. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Wii-​like Hulk and Iron Man games, as reading about The Marvel Experience (aka TMX) I thought I was going to get to REALLY experience Iron Man flight during this spectacle but it was really just virtual with a screen. The tactile activities were a lot more fun. I enjoyed climbing on the moving conveyor belt wall like Spider-​Man and the highlight was definitely maneuvering through a mini-​room filled with actual lasers in the Black Widow challenge.
This definitely would be more fun if you were a kid or a teenager, so being much older, I most enjoyed the video portions. In dome four we were treated to a 3-​D film projected on the dome right above our heads which felt slightly immersive, and in dome five, the finale was the 4-​D film on moving seats with an IMAX-​like screen.
For fans, this must be a dream as there are lots of interactive games and media/​video for all these Marvel comic characters. I didn’t even know there was a She-​Hulk but learned something new that night! Noticeably absent were ANY characters from X-​Men, except Wolverine, which was a surprise.
The whole experience took 2.5 hours due to all the time we were waiting in line for each thing, and my TMX companion and I booked the last timeslot of the night so there wasn’t much of a crowd. I can only imagine going during busier hours; you would probably need 3.5 hours.
All in all, pretty fun but I’m glad I got it at a discounted Groupon price of $ 21 versus the $ 35 plus fees regular price.

Agent Name: Rainbow Evil
Purpose: Ultimately to destroy evil because it comes in all different colors.
Species: Super ‘Awesome’ Human
**Nerd Alert** A few places in this world where I can take my mask off and relic in comic nerdiness while fighting the bad guys and making the world a better place.
While on my mission, I found other awesome super elite heroes to help defeat evil. The obstacles and atmosphere were pretty cool and by far the best one was shooting the bad guys with our special ray guns even though I was in a bad spot and my ray gun was skewing to the left! Haha
I was slightly disappointed that there wasn’t more, but I at least can foresee how this will expand for years to come!
Another awesome point was right after you’re finished completing your mission, you walk into the retail shop and there’s these cool figurines of Marvel characters. What’s more awesome is you can be apart of the figurine! Whatttt?!! So you get into this pod with tons of small cameras that takes photos of you from all angles and BAM you’re along side Ironman in a ceramic creation!
Great for families and kids of all ages, but I would definitely recommend eating beforehand or afterwards somewhere else because food and drink prices are crazy!

Thanks to Matt he took care of us & gave us tickets for another day. We choose Sunday at 6, even got some rad shirts to boot. Z After work, we went straight there. Plenty of parking and actually not too much traffic getting there either.
First we registered on a computer to become Shield recruits. Then Took a group picture with Captain America before we were in. As soon as we were in there were a ton of games to play. I didn’t get to try the Hulk smash game. But I did try the Iron man game. Which was tough to fly haha!
We even played this 3-​D game which was so fun & we got to shoot stuff. They give you a wristband & after you’ve reached a certain status you get to add to it. At the end is a simulated ride, which is similar to star tours ride. Totally made my weekend!

You know, this is a tough one to review because I don’t feel like I’m the target demographic for this experience. I probably would be if I was a really young kid, or maybe if I had a family with kids or maybe even if I had a girlfriend… that had worse ADHD than myself, liked to run around and play with all the cheesy interactive games and then shoot guns at stuff. Maybe that would kick the experience up a notch. However, I’m just a single, pseudo nerdy/​geeky adult, who grew up collecting a few Marvel comics, several Marvel Universe series trading cards and who just happens to love the recent Marvel movies.
With that said, I’ll break down the (my) Marvel Experience:
I had complimentary tickets so I only had to pay $ 10 for parking. It was a Monday evening and not crowded at all… borderline dead, actually. So suffice it to say, checking in was a breeze.
–Shield ID Card Station:
You can choose to do this… or not… but eventually, towards the end of the experience I think this comes into play on one of the jumbo screens. Not bad when it isn’t crowded but could prove to be a pain when it is.
–The Tour:
There are roughly 7 domes each with a different function. You’re guided (in groups) by an enthusiastic staff that refers to you as «Recruits» the entire time. They seem upbeat and dedicated to the theme of the experience, which is very cool on their part. A lot of these domes feature TV screens and or domed projection screens with informative video clips of your favorite marvel superheroes that both serve as entertainment as well as information regarding the plot/​story surrounding the experience that assist «recruits» in their «training». This would have been more helpful if there were subtitles though because I found it difficult to hear everything. You can move through all this in an hour if you want.
–The Interactivity:
So aside from watching TV & projector screens with your head tilted at a 45 – 60 degree angle, there are some other mindless activities to engage in. Information booths with videos regarding character origins/​bios, information regarding weapons and other relevant information.
–Xbox Kinect style motion detection based: You fly as Iron man or play as other marvel characters. After about 2 minutes of slamming into walls & crashing into enemies, I had enough.
–Wall/​Rock Climb: 3 different stations for climbing up rocks while looking at a screen above you while you race Venom to the top of a building. This was geared more towards kids and probably smaller people but at least it was a chance to get some exercise in.
–Some touch screen conveyor game where you pull parts out of the sand and try to put them together. As a kid this might prove more fun but I lost interest in about a minute.
–Shooting Simulation Game:
This was the one I was most excited about since it was right up my alley. It lasted about 5 minutes and took you through a series of robot and various enemy environments where you could go all trigger happy and shoot whatever. It was a little corny and hard to keep track of where you were shooting and even though it displayed a number on the screen to assist with that, it was hard to see. It keeps score for you and then displays the top scores on the screen at the end but I swear the thing was just a random number generator based on how often you pulled the trigger.
–Final Theater Experience:
Here you finally get to the finish and watch a video of the the team fighting the bad guy and the chairs rock back and forth, tilt and all the good stuff. Moderately fun and entertaining with a little audience «fist pumping» interaction with a few members of the audience having their ID cards displayed on the screen.
–Gift Shop:
Marvel stuff galore. UA shirts, Marvel themed mugs, cups, pint glasses, artwork, prints, posters, toys etc., All for a slightly more than fair price.
Conclusion:
This experience is decent, nothing special for the average adult but more akin to that of your typical fair experience. They spared no real expensive and everything was set up pretty well it’s just that I could see this being a little more gratifying to the young children and families who want to see their kids have feel like they are a part of the Marvel Universe. If you’re an adult or a comic book nerd, you’ll probably find this a little underwhelming & just something to check off your comic book related list.
Probably 4 stars for kids and families and 3 for everybody else.

If you want your kids to love you, you should take them here while it’s still in town (on a weekday preferably). I came here with my boyfriend thanks to Unilocal Elite and Trish!
So here’s the 411 about this place. They try to engage you in a story about a bad guy that’s doing something bad and you have to help the good guys conquer the bad guy. Honestly, that’s all that I remember because I was too fascinated with all the imagery to pay attention to the talking cartoons. The Marvel Experience really out did themselves with the amount of TVs and videos that you are surrounded by!
The interactive portion of this experience is hooked up to Xbox Kinects and they didn’t have the best response to our actions. It was still fun comparing scores to my boyfriend and confirming that I’m better at video games. Also we went on a Monday night and some of them had a line with about a 10 – 15 minutes wait. Hence, as I mentioned earlier, you should probably come on a weekday. I only tried the Iron Man flying experience and the HULK SMASHHH because we had already been there for an hour and didn’t feel like waiting any longer. The attendants that worked with us were very enthusiastic which helped the wait!
My favorite parts were at the end. The 3D 360 video which was followed by the ride. All in all this is a really cool concept. I had fun running around and it seemed like the people who were really into Marvel were as giddy as can be.

For the 2^nd YEE ( Unilocal Elite Event) of the year, this was sure a treat! Me and my plus 1+ (of course it has to be the hubby or he would never let me live down the day I did not bring him to The Marvel Experience) nerded out because we are big comic book fans and Marvel geeks so this was the perfect little date night for us.
What?! Not a food event? so what!
What nice is that there wasn’t much of a crowd so being able to go through the experience was pretty fun. It reminded me of Disney’s Innovation Center and Star Tours in one. Its a walk through interactive experience where you are a S.H.I.E.L.D recruit. The staff there are so in character as «agents» and I really wanted to see if there were any «HYDRA» folks.
I was a bit scared from reading previous reviews from other cities but I really enjoyed the experience because 1. I’m a nerd 2. I like interactive fun things 3. being a child at heart made it fun.
Its almost like a long extended ride. I have to say the Black widow agility test was the funniest part of the experience. Other than trying to as nimble and stealth like, it was sheer entertainment watching my partner do a summersault and hulk out hitting every laser possible.
However thinking about it, if I had to pay for the experience and deal with long lines I think this review would of been different. but its not so yeaaaaa! I had fun!
This would be awesome to have during comic con… wiiiiiiI!!!

This place is so cool!
I came here not knowing what to expect and the little kid in me came out to play! From the moment I entered and got to make my own badge to the spider-​man wall I surprisingly was good at to the 3-​D movies to all the games; this experience was like a GIANT life size video game. That! And my boyfriend who was my plus one, LOVED it!
We were running around like kids, enjoying all of the games and taking photos. So much that ended up with a photo package and our badges that we bought lol.
Thanks Unilocal!This was quite fun! :)

I am now a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. LOL. I have an ID card. I am Chrissie the SUPERHUMAN!
Monday was a perfect night to go. It wasn’t that crowded. I didn’t know what to expect and I am glad I didn’t read about it. Apparently they had horrible reviews in Arizona but I think it will take some time to make it a great attraction. I love superhero movies so I was happy to be part of the Marvel Experience.
This is definitely a place to take your kids. I kept thinking my nephews would love it here but after checking the ticket prices then I would have to say NO. LOL. Thankfully I had a free ticket and I was able to bring a friend. Thank you TRISH and Unilocal! :) I think that the ticket prices should be cut in half. Maybe more people would check it out.
I liked the interactive screen with the superheroes. Had to try to take a picture with iron man. The games were fun. Some things I didn’t want to stand in line for but it looked cool. There was this laser maze room and it looked like you have to go one at a time. You can see a screen and people were moving very slowly. There were games where I tried to fly like iron man and punch things like the hulk. I have horrible coordination. I kept flying in the wall in the iron man game and I kept jumping for some reason in the hulk game.
I’m not a fan of 3D so I kept taking off the glasses. It made me dizzy. The last movie ride thing was cool. I liked the ending of the experience. The staff was great with calling everyone recruits.
It was a fun experience. Got through everything we wanted to do in less than 2 hours. Once was enough but if they do this again next year then I might want to take my nephews.

I had heard about this coming to San Diego, I gotta say, I was a little curious. It just sounded like a fun-​filled super dome with tons of cool stuff to see and do inside. So, naturally I was psyched to score a free ticket to the event for a Monday night.
Walking in, it appears to look really cool. However, when you get inside, it’s a lot smaller than you think. The activity level is not too hard (suitable for maybe 5 – 10 years old). Activities included:
1) A simulation flight where you can fly like Iron Man. I actually realized that it was just a mat you stand on with a Xbox-​like sensor that just detects your movements, easily accomplished at home.
2) Spider-​man climbing wall — really just a revolving rock-​climbing wall/​conveyor belt.
3) Shooting in 3D — eh it was okay… hard to see your pointer though. Buzz Lightyear in Disneyland is better.
4) Agility Maze — a bunch of lasers that you crawl through and not try to hit them in a record amount of time. Takes about 1.5 mins to finish,
5) Summoning the heroes — you basically stand there and strike poses to «summon» heroes (they appear on the screen)
CAFE:
Not themed food. Just regular movie type food like hot dogs, nachos, pretzels. They also have Ballast IPA, house wines, Blue Moon and Coors Light. Average cost of food was $ 9.00 per item!
Next area:
3D dome — not bad, but it got a little tiring having to look up with you neck at practically a 90 degree angle.
TRANSPORTER DOME:
If I had to choose an activity, this probably would have been my favorite I guess. It’s a simulated motion picture ride, and during some parts it was pretty cool. There was one weird part though (and I think others felt it too) where Iron Man throws the aircraft back into the tunnel and you feel like, what seems like, two hand grabbing your butt! Haha.
All in all, not honestly worth the money they are charging for admission. I can’t imagine what a mad house it would be on the weekend with hoards of children around! It would be too way crowded and the lines too long for little ones to wait in.
Oh…one more unexpected thing. My fiancé and I found that the portable bathrooms they had in the trailers were the most posh «porta-​potties» we have ever seen! Please see attached photo to see what I’m talking about.
TIPS:
–Wear comfy shoes, you’ll be on your feet most of the time
–Bring snacks, lest you want to pay those sky-​high café prices for less than mediocre food
–With that being said, being some water
–Bring a little backpack vs. a purse, since you’ll be active it might be easier to carry around.

$ 69 for two adult admission tickets purchased through Ticketmaster
+ $ 10 for parking at the Fairgrounds
+ $ 25 for getting suckered into buying three souvenir photos at The Marvel Experience
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
= $ 104 for a solid three star experience at most for an event that lacked anything incredibly exciting to write about and that warranted a hefty price tag.
I’m not a Marvel fan, but I don’t think it was a critical requirement if you were wondering about checking this place out for the sheer curiousity of this event. I failed to RSVP for the complimentary Unilocal,NC San Diego event for this, but I had already purchased my tickets already when I learned about it. Oh well, the Unilocalers that got in for this event are lucky they didn’t have to pay for anything other than the parking to attend last night (which I ran into some of my Unilocal friends there).
Anyway, I don’t think my ears are that sensitive, but man, the audio in some of the rooms were LOUD. Fortunately, going on a Monday night seemed ideal crowd-​wise, but it didn’t speed up the process of moving from one room to another since everything is timed on when you can proceed.
After standing around and being escorted from one room to another, I was over it before we got to the dome with the 3-​D show. The glasses didn’t fit comfortably and I ended up having to hold it up for the duration of this segment.
I did, however, enjoy the ride at the end. Probably because we finally got to sit down for a change and we got to pretend we were flying in a jet for three minutes. I’m just glad I didn’t get motion sickness like I normally would on a choppy ride like this one.
There are a few interactive activities you can do three exhibits in to this experience where the refreshment stand is located, but it was certainly geared to the young kids versus grown adults such as my husband and I.
Oh well, another one and done experience. They could have done better marketing for this tour, I stumbled across this event thanks to my FB friend sharing this on the newsfeed, lol.
For an hour and twenty minute experience walking through this event, I probably would have enjoyed spending the $ 104 dollars on a nice dinner instead. Oh well.

I was recruited for an a$$ kicking great time at the Marvel Experience. This hyper reality wonderland has interactive activities, 3-​D stereoscopic projection Dome, thrill ride, food, drinks and collectable souvenirs.
New recruits register for the SHIELD card, are given an arm band and then receive training for the ultimate mission: save the planet from Marvel’s villains. We were trained by Superheroes in the first of 7 domes before the mission.
Large touch screen displayed gave me the opportunity to learn a little more about my team of superheroes, our weapons, and time to play a game where you craft custom weapons and strike poses to call your favorite superheroes.
The next stop was a large dome full of interactive, fun activities. My first activity was climbing a rock wall, this physical experience was fun and humbling. Next up I went into the shooting area with 3D glasses and was given number 14. I grabbed my gun and fired away, everyone in the room had a different target and the score reveals my lack of experience shooting fast moving targets. Unbeknownst to me they were taking photos of all battle participants and the winners photos and scores were displayed for all to see.
After this I took a flight through a canyon while missiles were being launched at me. The character on screen responded to my movements to steer through the terrain and shoot down these missiles. The next activity, a laser room had beams of green light and your mission is to move through the room, sometimes on all 4’s and reach the targets, then return to safety as fast as possible.
After running through all of my training I was able to experience a the 3-​D stereoscopic projection Dome, armed with 3D glasses. Whoa, what a blast. Viewers are immersed in the activity with giant superhero battles in a 360 degree environment. The activities surrounded me so I needed to stay for a second round to see everything.
The grand finale, a thrill ride allowed us to put our training to good use and we were able to save our planet form total annihilation. The seats tilted, lifted and vibrated. If you get positioned just right you can get an even better thrill from the vibrating seat, just saying. We were allowed to ride this twice, so much fun.
I recommend the Marvel experience for anyone who is open to a fun time and likes computer animation or comics.

THE MONDAY NIGHT MARVEL EXPERIENCE
1) KIDS: I only saw 1 kid… seriously, just 1 kid! If you hate kids like me, avoid weekends which must be an absolute nightmare. I hate to be political, but if your kids have NOT had their measles vaccinations, don’t bring them! These enclosed domes are a perfect cesspool for a measles or zombie outbreak.
2) LINES: Not too bad on a Monday night Waits were 5 – 20 minutes.
3) GAMES: Most of the games last about a minute, are poorly calibrated, and aren’t worth playing a 2^nd time.
4) BEWBS: Lots of them! Not only is this designed for kids… but its really designed for young boys. All female superheroes appeared in size D — to Triple DD. She hulk bewbs, Scarjo bewbs, SHIELD agents bewbs, Girl with Whip Bewbs, Silver Robot bewbs… bewbs, bewbs, bewds…
5) 3D things… it all mostly sucks. Captain EO at Disneyland, which was made in the 80s, is way better.
6) Final D-​BOX movie-ride…that was pretty cool.
CONCLUSION: Majority of your 1.5−2 hour «experience» is just waiting in lines or a holding area. I got a free ticket so this wasn’t bad, but I’d be pissed if I had spent $ 30−40+ on this. Its worth maybe $ 15. I’d rather spend $ 40 on dinner and a movie.

This was amazing!!! I really hope they do this every year. The «games» were super interactive and fun, the staff was beyond friendly and everything was super… Nice!!!
I can’t imagine the bad reviews. It really blows my mind.
I will say… They need to question the marketing person… It was impossible to know what to expect but it wound up going above and beyond.
Unfortunately, I think the «mystery» messed up ticket sales.
If you’re on the fence… Just go! Go with a kid-​like open mind :) Every interactive display was fun for this 29yr old.

The Marvel Experience is breathtaking! I didn’t expect to have any fun at this kind of thing because I have no idea what or who the Marvel characters are and I am not a big fan of comic books. I did watch Thor and Captain America and am totally in love with Thor (don’t tell my fiancée Drew L.).
The experience took us about 2 hours and we genuinely had fun. We said that this would be a great place to take children on a fun night out because it seems like the kids really love it.
The tickets are $ 34.50 per person on ticketmaster and I now know why it is that expensive. It took a lot of staff to man the «experience» and the technology used was top of the line and incredibly cool. At the end, there’s a simulation ride with super comfortable chairs and I was smiling the whole time on that ride because it was super fun and exciting! The chairs vibrated and air puffed out by my ears– I felt like I was at Disneyland on a 4-​D ride.
This experience was definitely as good as it gets for this type of event! I highly recommend if you like Marvel or if you have children who love Marvel!
