Warner Bros. World Welcomes First Riders to “Kryptonite Collider”

(eap) Yesterday, Warner Bros. World™ Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, opened “Kryptonite Collider”, its first new permanent ride since the park debuted in 2018. The new family thrill ride appears to be a NebulaZ flat ride supplied by Italian manufacturer Zamperla. Its four rotating arms carry a total of eight gondolas, each seating four passengers, giving the ride a capacity of 32 people per cycle. Guests measuring at least 105 centimetres may ride when accompanied by an adult.

In the attraction’s storyline, visitors become participants in the “Everyman Project” amid the streets of Metropolis. In this latest experiment, Superman’s adversary Lex Luthor seeks to unlock superhuman abilities in ordinary people, aiming to prove that Superman is no longer the only person with extraordinary powers.

“Kryptonite Collider is a real milestone for Warner Bros. World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, bringing one of DC’s most iconic Super-Villains to life through an experience that places our guests at the heart of his story. From the minute they step inside LexCorp, to the moment they discover their newly unlocked powers, every element has been designed to deliver the immersive storytelling and world-class entertainment our guests have come to expect from a trip to Yas Island. We look forward to all the new memories that will be made in Metropolis,” said Hind Galadari, General Manager of Warner Bros. World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

Kryptonite Collider opened in time for the “DC Super Hero Season”, which offers visitors live entertainment, character meet-and-greets and experiences centred around iconic heroes and villains until 30 August. Another DC-themed ride – a flying coaster named “Superman Up and Away”, which is scheduled for completion in 2028 – was announced last month by operator Miral and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (see EAP News of 12 June 2026). ■
