Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is expanding its DC universe inside its indoor facility on Yas Island. The Yas Island theme park announced two new Superman-themed attractions for its popular Metropolis zone. Kryptonite Collider opens on 26 July 2026, while Superman: Up and Away is scheduled for 2028.
Kryptonite Collider Arrives in July
The first attraction places guests directly inside the world of Lex Luthor, Superman’s legendary rival. The experience centres on Lex Luthor’s Everyman Project, inviting visitors to become test subjects for his latest scientific experiment. The queue features infomercial‑style broadcasts from LexCorp, recruiting guests as “test subjects” and setting a comic‑book‑driven tone that blends drama with cinematic detail before the ride begins.
Once on board, the 32‑person ride uses dynamic motion, lighting, sound effects and visual technology to create a high‑energy experience powered by the fictional force of kryptonite. This combination of effects aims to immerse riders in the narrative. The adventure concludes with interactive digital displays that reveal each guest’s newly acquired “superhuman abilities,” giving families a memorable souvenir of the experience.

Flying Coaster Set for 2028
Superman: Up and Away follows as a next‑generation flying roller coaster. Designed to recreate the sensation of soaring through Metropolis alongside the Man of Steel, the ride launches riders face‑down on a high-speed mission. This configuration promises a thrilling perspective that puts guests on a virtual flight path above the cityscape, mimicking the iconic hero's flight style.
The coaster is positioned as one of the park’s most ambitious upcoming attractions, reinforcing Warner Bros. World’s commitment to immersive storytelling and high‑adrenaline experiences for visitors of all ages.
