The additions are part of the ongoing expansion of [Warner Bros. World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi](https://www.wbworldabudhabi.com/) and will bring new DC action to the park’s Metropolis-themed area.
## What are the two new DC rides?
The two new attractions are **Kryptonite Collider** and **Superman Up and Away**.
Both rides are inspired by the DC universe and are designed to give visitors a more immersive superhero experience inside Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
The announcement also strengthens Yas Island’s position as one of the UAE’s biggest family entertainment and theme park destinations.
## Kryptonite Collider to open in July 2026
The first of the two attractions, **Kryptonite Collider**, is set to open to the public on **July 26, 2026**.
The ride will be located in the Metropolis land inside Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
It is described as a high-energy, immersive attraction where visitors are pulled into a kryptonite-powered experience linked to **Lex Luthor’s Everyman Project**.
## What is Kryptonite Collider?
Kryptonite Collider is designed as a centrifuge-style thrill ride.
Before boarding, guests enter a themed queue experience that introduces them as “test subjects” for Lex Luthor’s project.
Once seated inside a **32-guest ride vehicle**, riders are swept through a vortex of motion and energy, with onboard audio, lighting effects and digital screens adding to the superhero-style experience.
The ride is expected to appeal to visitors who enjoy high-energy motion rides and immersive storytelling.
## Superman Up and Away coming later
The second attraction, **Superman Up and Away**, is expected to be completed in **2028**.

More details about the ride are expected to be announced closer to its opening.
