Super Hero HQ - Marvel
Next was to Super Hero HQ which is
Disneyland’s Marvel area. Here the Cast Member are dressed as SHIELD agents.
You may have noticed DS (and myself) wearing quite a few Marvel shirts. Marvel is another of our shared interests from the movie & TV world.
Here there was lots of Ironman suits and props from other Marvel movies. Many of the Ironman suits right back to Mark 1. There was movie props and costumes, posters also
There was an interactive attraction “Become Ironman”. You stand in front of a large screen and camera with sensors and you have the Ironman suit superimposed over your body. Then you get to do various actions to test out the suit and finally take a virtual fly around on screen shooting at things.
They also have this on the Disney Magic cruise ship, in Avengers Academy, though I think the graphics are slightly different from what I have seen on Youtube but the concept all the same. I did take a video of DS doing it, but it was one of the first videos I took with my new dSLR and I didn’t get the focus right. So it’s quite blurry so didn't upload…next time I’ll do better!
The entry for this attraction was set out a little odd. There is a large open area behind where the person is “being Ironman” most people come up there and look to start a line. Then the CM tells them no you have to go around and walk through a really oddly placed corridor and wait there till the person has finished. It really isn’t signed that I could see. Probably something they could make a little easier for people as while DS was doing it, the CM must have told about 6 people that they need to go around to the hidden corridor.
