Attraction Justice League: Battle for Metropolis

[twoyutes92]

Haven't been to the park and didn't get to ride it the last time I was there. But for anyone who has, have they fixed this one yet? Is the 3D, animatronics, interactive elements during the ride back up and functional again or is it still all half broken? When this first opened it was incredible but they've done such a bad job at staying on top of it, I've had rides with no glasses but the 3D on, lights on, screens not working, etc. Hopefully, they've addressed this but want to hear if anyone knows.

It's been a while since the 3D effects have been used, which throws off the aiming a bit - I often start out by intentionally firing at the corner of the first screen to identify the color of my beam so I can compensate accordingly when it doesn't fire exactly where I expect it to.

That aspect aside, the rest of the ride has been true to form. Animatronics, smoke effects, vehicle sway, prop movement, and lighting were all working well when I rode in December. The screens were sufficiently bright. The Cyborg animatronic inside the station didn't lose any range of motion and none of his lights were out.

It was never really a roumor, but the Magic Mountain version does have her animatronic at the end of the ride.

California parks have an odd tradition of often having better versions of rides. Like the Disneyland versions of Pirates and Space Mt, etc.

Are they running the ride at reduced capacity right now? I was at the park last weekend and what's usually a walk-on ended up being a 15-20 min wait. They would hold vehicles in the last scene and load them one at a time.

The screens are starting to look a bit blurry too. It would be nice to get some new projections - maybe in the next year or two.

I wonder if the slower vehicle loading/dispatch has anything to do with Six Flags' implementation of iROC procedures. If nothing else, iROC is the reason that the original queue endings closer to the track had to be removed.

They probably just need the lens cleaned and readjusted.

From other threads:

Combined with the absolute stinker that is Justice League these days (no 3D, no effects, broken animatronics) at some point it feels like the park has to cut its losses with that strip and redevelop the JL/DK patch of land.

Justice League is objectively bad and in poor shape, could honestly care less if it sticks around.

Why the hatred for Justice Leauge lately? The ride is in the best shape it has been in since it was new. Not only have all of the fog machines been running lately, but the fire has been as well. The interactive fog screen before the room with barrels has even been running consistently and is playable; it rarely was playable when the ride was new. Both the Cyborg and Joker animatronics are in good working order.
Of course, not everything is perfect. One TV screen in the queue has an out backlight. The projector for Cyborg's translucent monitor needs adjusting so the image appears square on the screen -- at least it is running. A couple of the blasters are out of calibration.
As far as the 3D being removed, I personally find the ride better without it, and much more rerideable.

I will admit I haven't ridden JL in the past year. Glad they're improving it and finally taking the maintenance steps required for this to be operable and in good shape long term. Every time I have ridden it since the opening season it felts like something was broken/missing that degraded the overall experience. I find it a much worse experience sans 3D personally, but if they're finally getting it to 100% functional minus that effect, good on them and it speaks well to longevity under new ownership.
