Update on the Marvel Experience - Thankfully, Not Cancelled






Yesterday, we ran an article questioning the seemingly up in the air status of the Marvel Experience's tour. From what we'd seen, it looked like the remainder of the tour had been cancelled. Happily, that's not the case. We were contacted by Tracy Mallozi, managing director of the Rose Group, who filled us in on the details.

The short version of what's happening is good news and bad news. The good news is good news if you live in the San Diego or Chicago area - the show is staying in Del Mar until March 1st, after which they're taking the show to a newly announced stop at Chicago's Soldier Field. During it's time in Chicago, the show will be "reconfigured to both double down on guest excitement and be able to better utilize existing infrastructure of stadiums and ballparks," and "retooled with more interactive games and upgraded content." After that, the show will finally come to San Francisco in the Spring of 2016.

So yeah - for those of you who were excited to see this one-of-a-kind event in San Francisco this spring, you will have to wait a year...but it does sound like it'll be a better show once it gets to you. Ticketmaster has announced that you'll have the option (not yet available, from what we can tell) to receive a refund, or reschedule for a 2016 date. We're anxious to check it out ourselves. Read the full press release after the jump.

Is the Marvel Experience Cancelled?


The Marvel Experience, a traveling theme park of sorts that Marvel has been taking around to different cities, has been generating a lot of buzz. The show has a 4D show, a simulator ride, and more awesome Marvel props and costumes from the MCU than you can shake a stick at. It looks like an awesome experience all around.

However, fans were dismayed this morning when they logged on to the main site and discovered that tickets and show times for any shows past the February stop in Del Mar, California were completely missing. Ticketmaster.com shows the upcoming shows for the San Francisco leg of the tour as "cancelled."

The show had been experiencing major technical difficulties in its early stops, but the official page has no announcement about any delays or cancellations. We've reached out to Marvel and Hero Ventures to see if we hear anything back.
