Black Panther: Vibranium Overdrive
Located on the bottom left of the Wakandan Base in South America, Blank Panther: Vibranium Overdrive is the twin of Namor: Rise of Talokan as an overall dueling coaster, the main E-ticket attraction of the South American land. One unique feature is that both siblings have their own pre-show/queue experience, which alters the standard dueling coasters into two unique attractions. In this article, you will get an insider's look at everything about this thrilling new attraction in South America.
Storyline
Set in post-Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Talokan, and Wakanda have created a diplomatic relationship towards having exchange students and military in the respective cities. Near the headquarters of the new Wakandan Base in South America, Shuri and the company have located another mining facility near Talokan, whose goal is to detect the surrounding Vibranium of the oceans. As visitors, Wakanda has sent you as "tourists" to the facility, in order to test (infiltrate) the facility's new vehicle, the Submariner 3000. A water-resistant long vehicle, the Submariner 3000 can send even stronger frequencies into the ocean to detect the Vibranium at a farther distance. Due to still being in beta testing, the Submariner 3000 will only be tested in its enormous water tank as per safety restrictions. By infiltrating the facility, you provide Wakanda with the necessary information in order to find out the device's origins and company motives. But of course, the facility is about 2 miles away near the ocean, which requires you to traverse qualifications at Wakanda Base in order to board the Royal Talon Fighter to the big facility that lies ahead...
The Queue Experience
While featuring a fruitful amount of spread-out switchbacks, the queue experience remains as immersive as it can be in the space provided. With a heavy resemblance to a Wakandan Base, there are still the average television screens and fans as found in a [cough cough] Universal Studios attraction. scattered around are roped-off areas that feature Mayan artifacts with descriptions, which have been found and untouched by Wakanda due to proximity to the Temple of Ku'Kuh'klan there are also a few animal exhibits with soundproof glass walls for the wellness of the habitants. The screens detail Wakanda's work in South America to make the area more in tune with nature, with the facility infiltration project being the next course of action. After a long process of lines, you reach the greater trail leading deep into the Maya rainforest. These paths are also taken by single-rider and GeniePass, which eventually merges with the Standby line. The single-rider line always remains firmly separate from the lines, and even passes the pre-show in The Royal Talon Fighter into the mining facility, skipping the most technically-complicated part of the queue...
The Pre-Show
The pre-show exists inside the Royal Talon Fighter, the greatest ship of Wakanda. As the ship hums and journies to the mining facility, an animatronic Shuri details the mission to come. This system is a combination of the two Resistance pre-shows in the Star Wars ride, Rise of the Resistance at DHS and DisneySky at Disneyland. It also features a spinning theater that rotates towards the facility entrance. Here is the audio script:
Shuri: Welcome, everyone to the Royal Talon Fighter! We are on a very important mission today, and we need your help. Nakia will brief you on the details, as I do need to man the ship! [dry laugh]
Nakia (on-screen in another ship): In 2 miles, we will be arriving at the DYM mining facility. DYM has recently acquired a new piece of technology: a vibranium extractor! When two vibranium meteorites landed, on Wakanda and Talokan, Wakanda was later heavily protected, but even with Talokan having a great army, there are areas of the Ocean they do not protect. This is where you come in. Since we don't know how they acquired the detector and from who they acquired it, we need you to infiltrate the facility and gather some information, or a dangerous vibranium uprising could occur... For this mining is hurting the earth and human civilization at the same time!
Shuri (facing away from guests): On that note, you will also need to board their new Virbanium Detector, the Submariner 3000, on their test drive to see how it works. It is completely safe - you will only be tested in a giant water tank!
Nakia: Well then, good luck! We will try to intercept the audio onboard in order to get you the information you need to infiltrate the facility. We also have PYM-tested dragonfly cams to watch your progress!
[the bobbing of the ship slows and lands gently]
Shuri: We are here! Friends, good luck to you. The fate of the world is now in your hands. The facility is currently open to many guests, so make sure that you keep silent and do NOT reveal anything! Wakanda Forever!
Nakia: Wakanda Forever!
Exiting the doors, guests are in a completely different place than when they entered the ship. After a walk down a cool hallway, we reach a massive show building/loading station. . A giant "water tank" can be seen on one side to the wall, and we can already see the Submariner 3000s unloading and loading guests every minute.
an informational video plays on a screen, describing the ecological greatness of DYM, spoken by a suspicious automonus female voice.
The female voice: Welcome to DYM, or the Derivative Vibranium-I Mining, a safe and ecologically beneficial mining facility to redirect Vibranium, a highly benevolent metal, to big-name corporations worldwide, including HYDRA, SHEELD, A.I.M, Wakenda Tech, and other companies. We have contributed with a large helping hand to global movements like climate change, which provides extremely helpful warming to our planet. We have been so excited to let you become a special tester of our exclusive Submariner 3000, a detector that is changing the lives of thousands of people on Earth. Everything is completely safe and secure, with a proven 62 out of 103 tests by guests to be successful! In fact, we may soon allow guests on the first-ever ocean diving test, due to such a great amount of safe tests. Thank you for choosing DYM, the Derivative Vibranium-i Mining, and we hope that your day and your life will be changed!
Soon, you and your group are directed into the ride vehicle, a sleek and shiny silver/blue contraption. With all seatbelts checked, you are given a "go" by a bored teenage cast member. Suddenly you dip down into darkness...
The suspicious female voice: CONGRATULATIONS! With our security systems verified, you will be the FIRST guests to board the real deal - straight into the ocean!
Exiting the tunnel, we reach the rainforest, with machinery scattered around. It seems that all the guards have been knocked out, unconscious on the ground. The Black Panther appears. This is Shuri -
Shuri: This is NOT good! It seems we are going directly to the ocean - and that will aggravate NAMOR! Keep alert, for a Talokan army, could possibly rise up with all the frequencies going into the ocean!
The air is dangerous, as the coaster begins to climb the lift hill, entering the great duel between what seems to be some DYM Submariners and Talokan...
