Shows : Universal Florida Spider-Man Ride

The coolest (and only) Spider-Man ride in the world is in the "Marvel Super Hero Island" world, which is one of the five "Islands of Adventure" which make up the Universal Studios Theme Park of the same name in Orlando, Florida.


The ride is named "The Adventures of Spiderman", and it is the jewel in the crown of this world-leading park.

According to the ride's makers at Universal Studios, this is the first attraction in theme park history to combine rapidly moving, highly mobile ride vehicles hurtling through acres of vivid scene sets and extraordinary, specially filmed 3D computer-generated action with custom-choreographed live practical effects.

The basic premise is that you are guests touring the Daily Bugle, where Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) works as a photographer. We then fall into a plot where evil villains have stolen the Statue of Liberty using an anti-gravity gun.

Drafted into a civilian force, you must help Spider-Man recover this national treasure. Cue 3D effects, motion simulators, light show, in-your-face movie magic, synchronised real-world effects, etc, etc.
