Mega Man Upgrade
Ben and Andrew design a theme park based on Mega Man!
Each guest is a member of Dr. Light's new phase of the Mega Man Project. He is working to find humans who can fight alongside Mega Man to battle the Robot Masters!
This whole park is a training simulation where you will use Augmented Reality to hone your mega buster skills! It's basically the most hi-tech and immersive laser tag park ever conceived!
Customize your appearance by finding hidden collectables and upgrade your weaponry by defeating Robot Masters! Each season 8 different stages will be available to take on.
The challenge level of these stages adjusts to meet you so that everyone can face a challenge, without being overwhelmed.
If battling through our stages isn't for you, we have many other attractions to enjoy! You can grab a bite to eat in the dining area, play dozens of amusement park games, try on new "skins" to upgrade your appearance, and even watch high level players battle each other one on one or in team battles!
There is also the Artificial Intelligence Institute where you can explore the history of robotics in Dr. Light's lab museum. You can even design your own laser battle courses here!
There's something for everyone at the Mega Man Upgrade Theme Park Experience!

Gotham: Batman’s World
Episode five is here! This is a landmark episode as it is the first Amusement Sparks show to feature two guests and it's also our last new park of season one. It's about time Batman got his own theme park--we've never done a park quite like this one!

Scooby Doo is a household name, but in this episode, we break new theme park ground. This is probably the most immersive and impactful park we have designed so far!
