Opening in summer 2019, Reese’s Cupfusion attraction merges the world’s love of chocolate and peanut butter with an all-new interactive gaming ride experience that creates a full-sensory dark ride adventure with multiple ways to play for the entire family.

  • The love for Reese’s is at the center of it all as guests experience interactive family game play throughout the new attraction, with multiple ways to earn points.
  • As a Reese’s Agent Trainee, it’s the guests’ mission to ensure the world is never deprived of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups under the guidance of Commander Cup, a new character introduced this year.
  • The mission continues outside Reese’s Cupfusion where guests can take a spin on two kiddie rides taken over by Mint the Merciless and the League of Misfit Candy. Families can grab sweet gear from the Agent Supplies store, challenge each other at the Commander Cup Factory Game and meet the all-new Reese’s Cupfusion characters.
