The big and small of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Nano Battle!
- Shrink to ant size and fight alongside Ant-Man and The Wasp on a high-tech, high-energy interactive adventure.
- Guests will visit the S.H.I.E.L.D. Science and Technology Pavilion, a newly opened facility at Stark Expo in Tomorrowland, set up to showcase S.H.I.E.L.D.’s latest technological developments.
- The seemingly ordinary visit is soon interrupted by Hydra, who has initiated a two-pronged attack in Hong Kong.
- Hydra not only is attempting to steal the Arc Reactor atop Stark Tower in Kowloon, Hong Kong, but its artificial intelligence.
- Arnim Zola has sent an army of Swarmbots to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. Pavilion in order to steal a Data Core that contains highly confidential information.
- As he battles Swarmbots in Kowloon, Iron Man calls in Ant-Man and The Wasp to defend the pavilion, because only they can shrink down to get between the bots’ armor to destroy them from the inside.
- But with thousands of bots and only two of them, Ant-Man and The Wasp will need help and guests at the pavilion are called into action!
- Aboard one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s newest combat vehicles, D/AGR, the Defense/Assault Ground Rover (aka “the Dagger”), guests are issued an EMP Blaster and engage in a heroic battle alongside Ant-Man and The Wasp to defeat Zola and his Swarmbots.
