The newest Disney Cruise ship was spotted off the East Coast of Florida, testing the new rollercoaster Ironcycle Test Run, after it was recently escorted by the Destiny and Fantasy through the Bahamas to reach Port Canaveral.
Ironcycle Test Run Testing
Ironcycle Test Run is the first-ever roller coaster aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship and will be the longest roller coaster at sea, spanning over 820 ft (250 meters). Test drive Tony Stark’s latest Ironcycle prototype that launches you into a dash around a high-speed circuit above the upper decks of the Disney Adventure.
The 2-seater ride will feature F.R.I.D.A.Y., Tony Stark’s virtual assistant. You will rise to 30 ft (9 meters) above the ship’s upper deck and take control of the Ironcycle’s accelerator.
In the video, the ride vehicle can be seen as it races on the right side of the track, onboard. Watch the full clip below from @katieandspencer on Tiktok:
This will not be the only attraction on board the ship, as it will be joined by two other rides. Alongside Ironcycle Test Run, Marvel Landing will be a celebration of the larger-than-life personalities from the Marvel Universe.
On Pym Quantum Racers, get behind the wheel of Pym Tech-modified mini cars as you race around an oversized toy car track set. Blast off into high-soaring feats on Groot Galaxy Spin, accompanied by Groot’s mix of tunes.
Disney Adventure
Construction of the Disney Adventure was completed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. The ship had its first float out in spring 2025, followed by sea trials. The ship was originally scheduled for a December 2025 maiden voyage but this was delayed to March 10, 2026.
Disney took ownership of the vessel in December and it began its journey from Bremerhaven, Germany. It stopped at Madeira and will make two more stops in Los Angeles and Tokyo before arriving at Singapore.
Though it has a similar design to other Disney Cruise Line ships, it is unique because it began its life as the Global Dream, commissioned by Genting Hong Kong’s Dream Cruises. When the company went bankrupt, Disney Cruise Line acquired the half-built ship. It is now the largest Disney Cruise Line cruise ship, accommodating about 6,000 passengers.
