How to Ride Stark Flight Lab
When it's time to test the equipment, you'll sit in a two-person "gyro-kinetic pod" and pull down the over-the-shoulder harness to lock yourself in. Then you'll deploy to a test station, rolling along a track. A robot arm will grab the pods and start whirling you around in a simulated flight as if you were Iron Man and the other Avengers.
What's different about this ride is seeing the tech behind the ride. It's a robotics lab, so you'll see the giant robot arm grab the pod. In other rides, you don't usually get to see the mechanism that moves your ride vehicle.
Some of Tony Stark's lore makes it into the attraction. The robot arm that lifts you looks like Stark's robotic friend DUM-E.
The ride offers multiple "test flights," which may encourage you to return for a new or different experience each time you ride.
