THIS is a peek at Disney’s first ever sea rollercoaster, featuring a “thrilling high-speed circuit” – as the launch date is revealed.
An Iron Man-themed rollercoaster called Ironcycle Test Run, will debut on the Disney Adventure cruise ship, along with two other rides as part of the Marvel Landing area.

Passengers will be able to test drive the new rollercoaster when the cruise ship sets sail for the first time in December 2025.
The Ironcycle Test Run will be Disney Cruise Line’s first traditional rollercoaster and the longest coaster at sea, at 820 feet
Ironcycle Test Run will be part of Marvel Landing, a themed deck area which will include the Pym Quantum Racers go-karts and the Groot Galaxy Spin flat ride.
Disney says the Ironcycle Test Run riders will “test-drive Tony Stark’s latest Ironcycle prototype on a thrilling high-speed circuit” and also participate in “a rapid-fire driving lesson from Tony Stark’s virtual assistant, F.R.I.D.A.Y.”
Kerry Condon voices F.R.I.D.A.Y. in the Marvel films and is also known for her Oscar-nominated role in The Banshees of Inisherin and Better Call Saul.
Condon also stars in “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” debuting on Disney+ in late 2024.
The ride is being touted by Disney as its first rollercoaster on a cruise ship.
Other Disney ships have variations of the AquaMouse attraction but that is a “water coaster”, where riders sit in rafts, which are propelled along a slide path by jets and magnets.
Ironcycle Test Run is Disney Cruise Line’s first example of a more traditional rollercoaster – featuring a vehicle travelling quickly along a track.
The track will sit 30 feet above the Marvel Landing deck.
It will be Disney’s second rollercoaster featuring Iron Man.
The first is Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, where the hero co-stars with Captain Marvel.
The ride in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris opened in 2022, as a re-theme of the park’s previous Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.
Other Marvel rollercoasters around the world include Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at Epcot in Florida and a forthcoming Spider-Man rollercoaster at Shanghai Disneyland.
Two other rides will also be on the Marvel Landing on the cruise ship.
Pym Quantum Racers is a go-kart-style attraction inspired by the car chase sequences of 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
On Groot Galaxy Spin, guests will “fly their own Nova Corp Bass Jumper vehicles” in a themed ride based on Guardians of the Galaxy.
Elsewhere on board, the Avengers Assemble! live stage show will feature live character appearances by Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow, Black Panther, Taskmaster, Captain America, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Thor, Loki, and Deadpool.
The Disney Adventure cruise ship will sail three- and four-night voyages from Singapore starting on December 15, 2025.
