This is the best non-coaster ride I have ever been on! Amazing effects! Plus, you still get the "stomach thing" shooting down the building, even though you're barely moving! 5 stars:] - Rebecca V. Out of all the rides in the world this is at the top of the list. Great scenery, effects, 3-D and it is a motion simulator. - Joe YO One of the best rides ever created by any park. VERY immersive with so much detail, you can ride over and over and net get tired of it. The technology is awesome. You can't miss this one. - Gil Long An all-around outstanding attraction, with an immersive environment, strong story and enough detail to entice you to ride again and again. One of the world's top attractions... and not to be missed. - Robert Niles Wow, I went on this ride so many times I lost count. Do not miss this ride. - Erik Cobbs Wow - what a ride. The whole family loved this one. This is the 'must do' ride at Universal - and rightly so. Large queues are guaranteed - so ride 1st thing or late on or alternatively use Universals express pass. A true stand out ride. - neil Jackson A seamless integration of on- and off-screen technology, including 3-D gags, pyrotechnics, and water special effects. The simulations seem very real and can trick riders into believing the drops are actually happening. This ride may induce motion sickness. This attraction receives an Outstanding review. It would be perfect, except that the audio is often drowned out by the effects, the lighting and other backstage elements are visible during the "flying" sequence, and the queue is uninteresting. I'm a sucker for pre-shows. Also, the 3-D glasses may be missed by some guests - I didn't grab a pair on one ride because they were not clearly visible. - Joshua Counsil My husband and I cant get enough of this ride. Spectacular in every shape and form. I couldnt even resist it when I was pregnant. - Iris Hernandez Perfection, plain and simple. This ride is amazing. The effects and 3D are amazing. This is a MUST ride. - Patrick Gorham You have your 3-D glasses on a moving vehicle. The screen is spectacular as well as the other effects. Spider-Man is an attraction that shows what can digital technology can do to amusement industry. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro It really doesn't get any better than The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. This ride, more than any other at Universal, sets a standard for escapist entertainment that few outside of Disney have been able to attain. From the detailed queuing area to the amazing 4D effects, this attraction will please riders of all ages. Even my 4 year old daughter had a good time! - James Rao Spiderman is the greatest non-roller coaster ride ever made. It's been, what, seven or eight years since Spiderman was assembled, and nobody's been able to match it, much less surpass it. Everything about this ride just clicks. It does lose some of it's magic with multiple re-rides, but nobody will forget the feeling of awe and amazement they had right after the first time they rode this. - Daniel Binder |
