Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is adding two DC-themed rides: Kryptonite Collider, a centrifuge attraction set to open on 26 July 2026, and Superman Up and Away, a flying roller coaster due for completion in 2028.

Key points

  • Kryptonite Collider opens at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi on 26 July 2026
  • Superman Up and Away flying coaster to follow in 2028
  • Both rides set within the park's Metropolis land

Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences has been announced.

The first, Kryptonite Collider, is scheduled to open on July 26, 2026. Set within the park’s Metropolis land, the ride places guests as test subjects in Lex Luthor’s Everyman Project, with the queue featuring infomercial-style video from the fictional villain before riders board a 32-person centrifuge vehicle. Onboard audio and lighting effects accompany the motion experience, and interactive digital screens after the ride simulate superhuman powers.

The second attraction, Superman Up and Away, is a flying roller coaster expected to complete construction in 2028. Riders will be positioned face-down for what Miral describes as a next-generation flight experience alongside the DC character on a mission over Metropolis. Further details are to be announced.

“The introduction of these new DC-themed attractions marks an exciting chapter in the continued evolution of Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi, further enriching its world-class offerings. It reinforces our long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, as we collectively advance our shared ambition to deliver unparalleled immersive entertainment for our guests. By introducing these two new experiences, we are creating new exciting, memorable and joyful experiences that further position Yas Island as a leading entertainment destination, while strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a premier tourism hub,” Jonathan Brown, Chief Portfolio Officer at Miral said.  

“At Warner Bros., our fans are our single focus, inspiring us to push the boundaries of how we bring our iconic characters and their universes to life. These new DC attractions reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and storytelling at the highest level and, in collaboration with our partners at Miral, we are embarking on an exciting new chapter for Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi. We can’t wait to see fans experience a bold new side of Metropolis,” Simon Robinson, President, Global Experiences & Studio Operations at Warner Bros. Discovery added.

Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi currently houses six immersive lands. The park opened to visitors on Yas Island and has since operated as an indoor theme park.
