A Marvelous DC Universe Experience
As you navigate through the exhilarating landscapes of this DC Universe-inspired attraction, excitement fills the air. Covering over 17,500 square feet, “Universe of Light” allows visitors to step into the extraordinary worlds of their favorite superheroes. Picture yourself wandering through Gotham City, catching sight of Batman's imposing silhouette, or standing in amazement before Wonder Woman amid the beauty of Themyscira.
A Galaxy of Lanterns with DC Super Heroes
What makes “Universe of Light” truly spectacular? It features a jaw-dropping display of over 1,000 carefully crafted lanterns, with some reaching heights of up to 24 feet! Each lantern reflects the artistry and creativity involved in bringing DC superheroes into stunning visual form. The attraction skillfully combines light and artistry, creating captivating scenes that leave both young and old in awe.

The Art of Lantern-Making
The creation process starts with detailed sketches that evolve into breathtaking designs. Skilled artisans hand-shape steel frames, draping them in colorful silk and illuminating them with thousands of LED lights. Each cape and facial expression is crafted with great care. This ensures a fully immersive experience that captures each hero's spirit. The story behind this craftsmanship is as engaging as the attraction itself.
