Sally Corp (based in Jax) the makers of darkrides resourcefully showcased DT Jax as 'Metropolis' in the shoot em' up darkride "Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D". The attraction opened to the public on September 22, 2012; You have to travel all the way to Warner Bros Movie World in Queensland, Australia to ride it.

Very cool!

If you want to see a Sally Industries ride a bit closer to home you can travel down to LegoLand in Winter Haven.  I forget the name of the ride but it is a "Tomb" type mini roller coaster ride.  They have placed a placard at the entrance of the Tomb that I think was on the left hand side.

That building must be magical. How do they build these large rides in that small building?

Didn't know that was their ride at Legoland.  During the summer, I used to ride it simply to get five minutes of air conditioning.
