Shanghai Disneyland today officially broke ground for construction on its new Spider-Man project.
First confirmed at D23 in Anaheim last summer, Shanghai's new Spider-Man-themed land will include "a high-energy thrill coaster" surrounded by "shopping, food and beverage, and entertainment experiences," according to the park's press release.
Leaders from Shanghai Disney Resort, Walt Disney Imagineering Shanghai, Shanghai Shendi Group, and the Administrative Commission of Shanghai International Resort came together today for a groundbreaking ceremony. The park has not yet announced an opening date for what will be the third expansion at Shanghai Disneyland since its 2016 opening, following the addition of Toy Story Land in April 2018 and Zootopia in December 2023.
Located next to Zootopia, the Spider-Man land will be the ninth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland. For more about the park, including our reader rankings and advice for visiting, please see our Visitors Guide to Shanghai Disneyland.

This concept art gives me Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vibes.
What makes the IOA version a classic is that it's based on the original comics. Tom Holland as spiderman might not be relevant in the next ten years when this ride is built. I wonder if they keep him in the mask.
They should build the stark tower in shanghai. Not in the park, but actual city and just put a pole coaster in it and call it a day.
Staged shovel photos are annoying. All corporations do it. Showing executives holding shovels who can't wait to put them down and wipe their hands off. Smiling like they can't wait to dig into that dirt!
It's a pet peeve.

Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman for a very long time have been the consensus top 3 most famous/popular superheroes (Iron Man is probably a close 4th now), but I think stuff like this shows how Spider-Man is quickly taking over the #1 spot. I mean, who doesn’t like Spider-Man?
