This one has sort of slipped under the radar a bit, but Movie World in Australia just had opening night for a new area called DC Super Villains unleashed, featuring an Intamin suspended Twin Hammer called Doomsday Destroyer.
The ride is as you'd expect for a typical looping starship ride, but it has the same newer harness design as Falcons Fury.
But basically, the area is themed to Metropolis city, where villains from various DC franchises have taken over, and there are various little stations where guests can swipe a purchased RFID band and "be bad".

The first 6:30 mins are a bit of a performance they bunged on for the grand opening, from then on the video shows the various bits of the area.

Bizzaro: Screens with the interior of the ace o clubs. Uses eyeball tracking, and guests can use "ice vision" to freeze and destroy the interior of the club.
Scarecrow: A back alley, where scarecrow periodically releases haluciongens, causing billboards and a door to melt and show freaky images.
Poison Ivy: A construction site where her vines and venus fly traps have taken over. Swiping your wristband activates a personality test, and the flytraps either snap or spit water, or puff out sweet scented smoke.
Killer Croc: Croc is busting out of the sewers, water pipes have broken etc. Using hand gesture tracking you can cause the water to surge up and down as you move your limbs. Theres a cool one where you can raise both hands then smack them down to cause a big eruption.
Sinestro: A luxury car show room. Sinestro goads you into using the power of yellow fear to smash the car up and set the show room ablaze. Again uses motion tracking.
Captain Cold: A liquid nitrogen tanker has crashed into a building. On the side is a touch screen where you play a mini game involving connecting pieces of pipe (remember that game on Win 95 called pipe mania?) When you get them all connected you set off a cold blast of fog from Captain Colds gun.
Gorilla Grodd: There are screens depicting the interior of a diner. You jump on pressure pads to cause earthquakes and destroy the diner.
Joker & Harley Quinn: Theres a bank rigged up with explosives connected to a high striker. You hit the high striker and depending on how you do you'll get an insult from joker, or set off smoke, strobes, a smoke ring launcher etc.
Lex Luthor: Lex has backed up a Lexcorp vehicle to a substation to hack the power grid and bring it down. Theres a touch screen mini game where you link together icons to complete a circuit and cause power transformers to spark and overload.
