Justice league battle for metropolis on ride pov
Justice League: Battle for Metropolis is an Interactive Dark Ride located at four Six Flags theme parks in the United States, and Six Flags México. The ride is a collaboration of Sally Dark Rides, Alterface, Oceaneering International, and Pure Imagination Studios, themed to the fictional DC Comics team of superheroes — Justice League. Riders become a member of the Justice League Reserve Team, boarding RTVs supplied by the fictional US Federal Agency A.R.G.U.S., that are equipped with stun guns to take the fight to the streets of Metropolis against The Joker and Lex Luthor's forces. Riders will then break into LexCorp headquarters to save Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl, who are being held captive inside.

Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D
In October 2011, the chairman and CEO of Sally Corporation, John Wood, stated they had started developing their biggest project, something which they believe would be "the top of the industry". The project was later announced to be Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Australia. Following the launch of the ride in September 2012, Sally Corporation expressed interest in transferring the concept to other parks around the world including those in the United States. In the United States, the Justice League brand, along with other DC Comics properties, are licensed by Six Flags.
Announcements
On August 28, 2014, Six Flags officially announced Justice League: Battle for Metropolis would be added in 2015 to Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags St. Louis. In Six Flags Over Texas the ride would replace the Adventure Theater, while the Six Flags St. Louis attraction Scooby-Doo! Ghostblasters: The Mystery of the Scary Swamp ride would be replaced. Noticeable differences between Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D and Justice League: Battle for Metropolis include a motion-based ride system by Oceaneering International and the involvement of different DC Comics villains, Lex Luthor and The Joker, rather than Starro the Conqueror.
On September 2, 2014, in an interview with Sally Corporation CEO John Wood, new details about the attraction were released. Six Flags Over Texas received ten ride vehicles, while Six Flags St. Louis received seven. The ride features two final chase scenes, as well as eight Digital 3D Screens inside the ride that are as large as 30 feet wide.
On September 3, 2015, Six Flags announced Justice League: Battle for Metropolis would be added to Six Flags Great America and Six Flags México in 2016.
On September 1, 2016, Six Flags announced Justice League: Battle for Metropolis would be added to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Six Flags Over Georgia in 2017. It was announced that Magic Mountain's version would have a new alternate ending and the addition of Harley Quinn, who was briefly mentioned by the Joker in all four of the original rides. The Six Flags Over Georgia version will become part of a new Metropolis-themed section that will replace the park's Cotton States Exposition and include the adjacent Superman Ultimate Flight roller coaster.
