January 15, 2015: DC Superhero Themed Casino to Open in China
Posted by Neil Cole
A new $3.2 billion-dollar resort/casino themed after the superhero characters of DC Comics is set to open in mid-2015 in the gambling hub of Macau, China.
The complex - called Studio City - will be built by Melco Crown Entertainment and feature a "Batman Dark Flight" attraction billed as an "action-packed motion ride" that lets visitors "fly through Gotham City, following Batman... as he brings some the most notable Super-Villains from his Rogue's Gallery to justice."
Other DC Comics attractions will include Batman and Superman structures which children can climb on and go-karts featuring Wonder Woman and The Flash.
There will also be the usual assortment of clubs, bars, and restaurants, including a "space station-themed food court dining experience" which will use holographic projections to mimic "gigantic viewing window looking out in to deep space."
A $70 million short film/advertisement for Studio City called "The Audition" is being directed by none other than Martin Scorsese and will star Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The film/ad is set to debut alongside the resort.
