The Marvel Experience

I was ready to be a SHIELD recruit. But recruits are relegated to being INACTION figures standing in long lines forever for 2 lame rides. 4D just means you’re entering a Dollar-​Deducting Disappointment Dome. Run for your lives! Keep your $ 34/​person in your wallet. Parking is an extra $ 10. The most fun we had was laughing while reading bad-​funny Unilocal reviews about The Marvel Experience during the endless wait for Nothing Much. Thank God our tickets were comped. Kill me now.
To be totally fair, I should add that the people working this event in Scottsdale were beyond nice and pleasant. We’re talking Disney level niceness. The staff was great.

The Marvel Experience, more like I took your money and there is nothing you can do. Do not go, 4-​D will never happen. You will never be immersed in the 3-​D and 4-​D.
The Marvel website promised a lot, LOL. If you go do not expect a lot. Don’t expect anything except long lines.

Not the best, hopefully they make an effort to improve the «experience» over the next couple of years. It was just me and my daughter, so I didn’t go into debt to attend. Do I think it was worth $ 30? Not at all. A lot of waiting, they were running out of food, and we spent over two hours in the training dome; my daughter only tried three of the interactive exhibits (the Hulk Game, the Laser Maze, and one other whose name I cannot remember right now).
I thought about purchasing the picture (it turned out really cute), but could not bring myself to pay $ 20. I just used my phone and snapped a couple of pictures off the monitor while the girl was showing us our photo lol. I still have 30 days to buy it online, so I may just go that route, if I still care to.

I agree with others that this would have been more entertaining and fun if I were younger.
I knew there would be many children, so I went in with that expectation. In reality, the adults and teenagers were much harder to deal with. Two forty-​something year old women stood in line behind my boyfriend and me and they shouted as if they were at a concert. They would not shut up about every little thing they observed and kept butting into other people’s conversations. Long story short… these kinds of events attract idiots and people of all walks of life. So brace yourself for an airport-​like experience.
The entire event was rather boring and full of long lines. It focused on the Avengers characters; but for political correctness, they threw in the Black Panther and the «strong woman type» She-​Hulk.
None of the registration kiosks were open. So it seems they never fixed their IT issues. The technology is a bit dated, and to be honest a lot of the interactive games were of same quality as DisneyQuest in Chicago (closed since 2001). Seeing the Cox logo on a screen was in bad taste. I’m surprised I didn’t see more sponsorship logos around.
It’s not worth the drive, headache, or money to go. I would rather drive to Universal Studios Florida from AZ and stand in their lines for some decent thrill rides than this load of crap.

After sending an email via the Marvel Experience site, I received an email expressing apologies and offering return tickets or a refund.
IMO, the groups that experienced the severe tech difficulties, should have been approached by management before we left the «experience». That probably would have saved a lot of the negative reviews.
For the apologies and return/​refund tickets, they get an additional star.
