“I’ve got an important message coming through! Hang on, we need your help to save the world. You need to join me inside the Justice League. Heroes, let’s take the battle to the streets! Come on,” exclaimed Madame Tussauds Orlando General Manager James Paulding.

On the evening of May 22, Madame Tussauds Orlando unveiled its brand-new Justice League: A Call for Heroes exhibit. In front of the iconic Orlando Eye was the even more iconic Batmobile, straight from the big screen to the City Beautiful. This immediately set the theme for what was to come. After entering Madame Tussauds, passing celebrities upon celebrities, I made my way to where the launch would take place. The media gathered around as the official announcements were made by Paulding.

“This is a really, really big moment for us at Madame Tussauds! As you know, we already have amazing, immersive, interactive figures, but this is bringing it to a whole new league and delivering a live experience where it makes the guests the star of their favorite stories,” stated Paulding.

The superheroes exhibit officially launched on May 25 to the public. The exhibit was developed in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment. This led to the creation of a first-of-its-kind attraction experience, combining blockbuster thrills and an all-star cast with authentic replica costumes and props to truly bring each character to life.

Guests first must answer the call for help from the Justice League to join forces and help destroy LexCorp’s terror on the world. You enter the experience after viewing some breaking news segments and a message from Lex Luthor. Immediately you are transported to the streets of Gotham City and Metropolis. Here is where guests unite with the Justice League superheroes in a handful of different interactive missions.

Guests come across Wonder Woman first to help her destroy LexCorp’s technology that has disabled the entire city. Assume the position next to Wonder Woman and emit a pretty powerful blast to weaken LexCorp’s control over the city.

Next, you’ll help Superman lift a helicopter back into the sky, which Lex Luthor sent hurtling towards the ground. Superman’s figure is pretty unique as he moves. His body actually lifts up and down to simulate the lift of the helicopter. A moving wax figure is not something you are used to seeing, but it’s definitely cool.

Once guests help Superman save the helicopter occupants, you must summon Batman with the Bat-Signal. Through smoke and wind, the hero reveals himself, ready for battle and to help stop Lex Luthor.

The interactive portions of the Justice League wax exhibit really do make you feel as if you’re playing a part in saving the world. Even if you’re not a DC comic fan, this exhibit is pretty fascinating and you can really appreciate all of the hard work and details that went into its creation, development, and execution.

Do you have what it takes to save the world?
