ENTER THE SUPER HERO COMMAND CENTRE
Marvel Super Heroes 4D will take you right inside the Super Heroes’ top secret command centre – S.H.I.E.L.D (Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-enforcement Division) - and you will be immersed from the moment you arrive. Hulk’s gigantic legs can be seen standing astride a massive plinth, his torso disappearing through a gaping hole in the ceiling.

Circling around the massive feet of the gargantuan 4.5m tall figure, you can gaze up and get a tantalising glimpse of what awaits on the next level.
