Visitors to Warner Bros. World park on Yas Island can now experience the role of a volunteer in one of Lex Luthor's experiments with the launch of the Kryptonite Collider attraction on Sunday. This is the first new permanent attraction in this indoor theme park since its opening in 2018.
The new DC-themed ride places guests inside the villain's fictional 'Evangelist Project.' There, visitors enter the LexCorp laboratory before boarding a 32-seater ride that combines rotational movement, lighting, sound, and visual effects. All of this centers around Superman's only known weakness—Kryptonite. At the end of the experience, guests are assigned their own 'superpowers' via interactive displays.
Hind Galadari, General Manager of Warner Bros. World Yas Island Abu Dhabi, told Khaleej Times that the focus is on storytelling and immersion, not just the ride itself. She emphasized that the goal is for guests to continue discussing the Kryptonite Collider even after leaving the park.
Galadari specified that instead of recreating scenes from movies or comics, the attraction is based on an original DC storyline created specifically for the park. This story resonates with both local residents and international guests who enjoy being in Metropolis and participating in the DC universe.
After entering the LexCorp laboratory and receiving instructions from staff playing the roles of Lex Luthor's employees, passengers are secured in a circular 32-seater ride. The journey initially resembles sitting on the blades of a giant fan, then transforms into the feeling of a crazy Ferris wheel. The attraction excites riders due to its fast rotation, speed changes, and brief reversals, causing more of a 'flutter in the stomach' than actual fear.
Galadari reported that the attraction's development followed a careful study of visitor wishes, who wanted more thrills while maintaining a family-friendly experience. She described the ride as a 'whirlwind,' where changing speeds, rotational movements, and short reverses create the sensation of Kryptonite flowing through the body.
With the opening of Kryptonite Collider, Warner Bros. World is already preparing the next major attraction. Galadari confirmed that the flying roller coaster Superman Up and Away, scheduled to open in 2028, will also be located in the Metropolis zone, although she declined to disclose further details. The only announced expansion remains the Harry Potter themed area, previously presented by Miral.
The General Manager noted that there has been growth in the number of UAE residents enjoying staycations this summer, spending more time on Yas Island instead of traveling abroad. Annual passes show an increase in repeat visits. Furthermore, some visitors are extending their trips from one or two days to four or five days thanks to the variety of entertainment on Yas Island.
The attraction launched just a few weeks after Warner Bros. World Yas Island was named the best theme park in the world with the Liseberg Applause Award 2026, becoming the first attraction in the Middle East to receive this industry award. Despite growing regional competition, Galadari assured that the park will continue to invest in new attractions and update existing experiences to keep them fresh and exciting for all generations. Kryptonite Collider is included in the standard admission ticket for Warner Bros. World Yas Island Abu Dhabi.
UNESCO announced on Saturday that the Jingdezhen artisanal porcelain industrial centers in China have been added to the World Heritage List during the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Busan, Republic of Korea.
The new world heritage site includes five component parts, covering 15 groups of heritage sites and 45 individual heritage sites. These elements together preserve the complete system of artisanal porcelain production.
The system, which shaped ceramic production and cultural exchange worldwide, encompasses everything from clay mining shafts and wood production areas to workshops, kiln locations, and transportation networks.
The place that became the cradle of porcelain has been officially included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. This region represents a thousand-year history connected with clay, fire, and craftsmanship.
Every masterpiece from Jingdezhen porcelain is the result of a complex journey involving 72 traditional stages. These processes begin with shaping raw kaolin clay and conclude with the final firing.
The recognition of this site by UNESCO emphasizes that it is a living craft that tells the story of how the concept of 'China' originated and how porcelain products contributed to connections between various civilizations around the world.
