SINGAPORE - The Avengers will be taking a much-needed break from saving the universe to assemble amid the lush greenery at Jewel Changi Airport for the June school holidays.
From Friday to Aug 13, visitors can enjoy interactive displays celebrating 60 years of Marvel’s Avengers.
Over at Terminal 3, larger-than-life versions of timeless classics from Hasbro Gaming, including Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Twister, will keep the young and old entertained.
Meanwhile, The Avengers: Beyond Earth’s Mightiest At Jewel features 3D installations and interactive displays themed after iconic characters. It pays homage to 60 years of the franchise’s comic books, toys and television and movie screenings.
A Marvel-inspired light and sound showcase will also be projected at the HSBC Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. It is on from Friday to Aug 13, and can be seen at 8pm from Mondays to Thursdays, and at 8pm and 10pm from Fridays to Sundays.
Interactive displays
At the entrance of Shiseido Forest Valley, visitors can see a 5m-tall red and gold statue of Iron Man.
They can also have their photos taken at six Marvel-themed photo spots, including two displays featuring a 3m-tall replica of Captain America’s vibranium shield, as well as Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, standing at 3.5m tall.
The other four interactive displays feature Marvel characters like The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Black Panther. Visitors can measure their strength against The Incredible Hulk’s by punching the strength meter, and cast spells with holographic fans alongside Doctor Strange.
They can also sit on Black Panther’s throne, and shrink themselves down through a magnifying glass with Ant-Man and the Wasp.
A walk through Marvel’s history
The Canopy Park will take fans through six decades of Marvel’s rich history, with exhibits showcasing major events and characters across the entertainment giant’s staggering catalogue.
The display chronicles Marvel’s major titles, spanning games such as Contest of Champions, story arcs such as Secret Wars and Infinity Gauntlet, as well as beloved characters such as the X-Men, Defenders and Eternals.
Highlights include the introduction of Captain America in 1941, a rare action figure dating back to 1972, and a TV showcasing snippets of a cartoon series.
Life-size displays of Avengers from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are at the Petal Garden at Instagram-worthy spots.
