“This is the first time a ride has been placed within a ride in the Southern Hemisphere and we are excited to create this amazing and unique new experience for our guests,” he said. “The Flash Speed Force is a wonderful addition to our line-up of rides at Warner Bros. Movie World and will take guests on a thrilling journey where they twist, spin and speed along the 67-metre-long half-pipe track.

“We are working closely with our partners at Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment to integrate the ride theming with Superman Escape to encompass both rides and tell an incredible story around two integral members of the Justice League.”

The ride is named for the speed-themed superhero and the energy-based field which gives him the power to run fast.
