This amazing attraction is simply not to be missed! At last, there’s a chance for you to chat, sing, dance and play sport with your favorite stars and release your powers with famous superheroes at Madame Tussauds.

At the “Opening Night Party” you could tell Robert Pattinson why you love the “Twilight” series. You could also exchange new acting tips with Angelina Jolie and reminisce with Leonardo DiCaprio about the most memorable scenes in “The Titanic.” When you head over to the “Music Experience,” you could try a duo with Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga. The “Music Experience” is incredible – it’s totally interactive and even has electric guitars and live drums. The most exciting attraction is the high tech lighting feature that beams your movements onto a video screen. So you can actually check out yourself in action on the big screen! Also, experience the unforgettable “Sports Zone” which is also highly interactive. There you can chat with Eli Manning of the New York Giants and boxing legend Evander Holyfield about fitness and technique.

Don’t leave without immersing yourself in the “Marvel Super Heroes 4D Experience” – see above. Venture into the secret command center where you can release your powers along with superheroes like Spider Man and the Hulk. If you succeed at their tests, you can go onto the amazing “Marvel Super Heroes Cinema 4D Experience.”
