Iron Man Experience at Hong Kong Disneyland

     Disney Parks’ first Marvel-themed ride, Iron Man Experience, made its grand debut last January 11 at Hong Kong Disneyland. The experience calls on all boys and girls and men and women, both young and young-at-heart, to team up with families and friends and unleash the Super Hero within in a high-flying adventure alongside Iron Man. 

     Eminent innovator and pioneer Tony Stark staged the spectacular Stark Expo in Tomorrowland to take guests on an adventure, starting with closely examining innovations old and new from Stark Industries. There are opportunities to meet Iron Man in person during the adventure, and to try on the Iron Man armor virtually. The grand finale is boarding a special Expo-edition Iron Wing flight vehicle and flying alongside Iron Man in the Hong Kong sky for a panoramic view of the innovatively-powered Hong Kong Stark Tower, but be prepared for a battle against the evil forces of Hydra in the immersive multi-sensory motion experience.

“We literally had a playful time while working on the various pieces along with the unique artworks, inspired by the iconic toys we have chosen; it did bring out the child in us. After all, this season, is the happiest time of the year not only for the young, but also for the young at heart,” Lagon said.

Bounty Fresh Giant Chicken

     I saw a big chicken on the top of one building in Magallanes last week and that humongous animal made me smile. It's really big but it's not real because it's just an inflatable chicken. This installation is a head-turner because I've noticed that some passengers inside MRT laugh secretly and had a smile on their faces after seeing that big chicken from afar.

     Traversing the usual EDSA traffic can easily turn travel into an irritating driving experience. And as the sea of red lights becomes the highlight of the day, motorists can’t help but to look for something that could ease their frustration. EDSA fixtures that have people smiling as they drive by are giant, inflatable chicken installations courtesy of Bounty Fresh.
