Hero Ventures has announced that The Marvel Experience: The World's First Hyper-Reality Tour will suspend its 2015 Summer Tour following its current engagement in Philadelphia, which ends on July 5. The planned engagements in Chicago, New York, and St. Louis will be rescheduled.

"It was great to see so many smiling faces taking pictures and enjoying The Marvel Experience in Philadelphia," said Hero Ventures CEO Rick Licht, "though there is clearly more that we would like to accomplish with this unique endeavour. Rest assured that we'll be back on tour shortly to bring this dynamic event around the country and around the world."

Event organizers can confirm a refund of the ticket price and booking fee will be made to the original ticket purchaser beginning Monday July 6th, 2015. Ticket outlets will automatically handle this refund transaction to the customer's credit or debit card. In the event of any issues arising related to the refund, customers should contact the outlet used to purchase the tickets.

The Marvel Experience is an immersive, Domed attraction that features the world's first-ever traveling 360-degree, 3-D stereoscopic full-Dome projection theatre. Along with the aforementioned, there is a state-of-the-art, thrilling motion ride and an interactive "training center" that offers the opportunity for Marvel fans to actually become "part of the adventure."

As agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in training, guests of The Marvel Experience swing with Spider-Man, smash with Hulk, fly with Iron Man and more, all in preparation for an epic battle alongside Marvel's biggest Super Heroes in a fight against Red Skull, M.O.D.O.K. and an army of evil Adaptoids. The Marvel Experience incorporates next-generation interactive technology including augmented reality and multi-person gaming so you can see yourself in action. Everything happens with bleeding-edge technology and advanced computer animation. There's nothing else like it. Not only does the audience get to join the adventure, in the end they may even become heroes themselves.
