The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, a dark ride in Marvel Super Hero Island at Universal's Islands of Adventure. (The minimum height to ride is 40 inches.)
Written by Robert Niles A four-time winner for Best Attraction in the Theme Park Insider Awards, Spidey takes you on an adventure with the web-slinger as he tries to save the city. You ride in a bucking, spinning SCOOP Vehicle -- while wearing 3-D glasses -- through 11 scenes, escaping fireballs, 100-story drops and other mayhem.
In May 2011, attraction designer Thierry Coup announced that Spider-Man will be entirely reanimated for a March 2012 debut, with a 4K high definition film using Infitec 3D projection technology. Coup also announced that the new film will include additional detail, not seen before in the ride.
Readers' rating:
Best ride in Orlando. It brings together the best elements from 4D shows, roller coasters, and dark rides to give the most immersive experience I've ever had. The new HD overlay has made a great ride even better. - Jeff Moon This is by far my favorite ride anywhere.... No other immersion ride makes you feel like you are in a movie or a comic book like this does. Absolutely incredible. Update - The 4K HD projector upgrades have made the ride even better. Best ride anywhere... - N B Perfection, it would be my favorite all time ride if not for the new Harry Potter one. 3d is amazing, strongly recommend to do it in the first line, congratulations to Universal for a truly Amazing ride! 10/10 - David Shaul Just as the title says, Amazing. One of my all time favorite rides. 10/10 - Dominick D As its name suggests, this ride is AMAZING. Simply perfect! The 3-D is flawless and its integration with real-life sets is amazing as well. PERFECT 10/10. - Brandon Lee 9/14/2012: Lots of fun! Not good for those with motion sensitivities or those with fear of heights or dark. My 6-year-old would have needed new shorts, but yours might be braver. I rate it on a par with Dinosaur at WDW. - Jennifer Schwing More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
