Stan Lee (the creator of popular comic book characters Iron Man, Thor, Spider Man and The Incredible Hulk) became the first guest to experience the brand new Marvel 4D Theater and new array of wax Marvel superhero figures.
“These figures are more realistic than I am! I walked up to Robert Downey Jr. (as Tony Stark) and expected him to talk to me. What a thrill! This new theater is spectacular,” raves Lee.
Next month, more figures are arriving including Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. As with all Madame Tussauds figures, the Super Heroes are “true to life” to the dimensions of the actors and costumes featured in the Marvel blockbuster films.
The 70 seat Marvel 4D Theater, which is the grand finale and the capstone on Madame Tussauds’ transformation, features a brand new 10 minute movie where the superheroes save Las Vegas from destruction. Guests will enjoy a multi sensory experience, in which they are able to see, hear and feel the Super Heroes save the day by way of thrill-enhancing sensory special effects—from water sprays and smoke clouds to tremors beneath the feet and more, in conjunction with the action on screen.
The goal of the renovation was to create a brand new guest experience from start to finish including an array of new wax celebrity likenesses such as big names stars such as Sandra Bullock, Sofia Vergara (star of TV's Modern Family), Jamie Foxx and Gwen Stefani.
