Families cruising on the new Disney Wish will have a chance to compete in a game-show-type competition in the ship's Hero Zone sports facility.
Themed to Disney/Pixar's "The Incredibles," the Disney Wish's Incredi-Games will feature hosts, music, and special effects as families compete in several activities in the Hero Zone, while spectators watch and cheer from a balcony viewing space.
Here is the description of the Incredi-Games activities, from Disney:
- Heroes will first test their strength by busting through a “brick” wall during Mr. Incredible’s Power Punch.
- Jack-Jack’s Whack-A Rac will pit players against Rocky and his raccoon friends, whom you might remember from "The Incredibles 2."
- Only the most flexible families will conquer the twists and turns of Elastigirl’s Stretch-O-Rama.
- Family speedsters will be the front-runners of Dash’s Mad Dash Mayhem.
- Violet’s Force Field Swing will send supers soaring across a lava field. (Remember, we are using our incredible imaginations here!)
- The strong finish includes a cool down on Frozone’s Ice Slide, where heroes will ascend to the highest peak and slide down the icy slope to victory.
When it is not hosting the games, the Hero Zone will be available for passengers to play basketball, soccer, table tennis, air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard. The Disney Cruise Line's new Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022 from Port Canaveral with three- and four-night cruises to Nassau and Castaway Cay.

IDK...This looks like oversized bounce-house/trampoline gym with some gaming/competition elements (many of these gyms can integrate game elements like laser tag, dodge ball, capture the flag, and other team games). Sure, this looks like fun, but appears to be nothing better than you can get at home. I guess considering how many days at sea most DCL itineraries have (normally 50% or more of the trip is at sea), they will need to have plenty of activities for the massive captive audience aboard this behemoth.
Disney is really pulling out the stops on Wish. Not only are they presenting a float in the Macy's parade, but Wheel of Fortune this week has been taken over by Disney ("Princess Week") with the winner of the "prize puzzle" getting a trip on the Wish in 2022. Strangely, the Disney integration into the show hasn't even mentioned WDW50.
Seems to me like they are trying to resurrect the nostalgia of Nickelodeon's Family Double Dare.

This reminds me a bit of Legoland's Fun Town Fire Academy, which I long have loved as a participatory family attraction. Capacity challenges limit the concept's scalability to Disney theme park crowds, but on a DCL ship, this could be a nice addition.
