That's a shame. I thought he was a lot younger.
... water blasts, simulated free falls, 3d glasses, and some funky food smell.
God, really? They need to drop this gag from their bag of tricks. What was once amazing on Spider-Man is no longer impressive, it's just lazy.
I would say Spiderman is probably the reason many of us are Universal fans...I remember it getting me into IOA and eventually led to IOA Central then Universal Excitement, and now hereI think Spider Man is the only Universal ride that never ever gets a negative comment. Seems like there's always someone that will nit pick the other rides, even the great ones. Spider Man is sacrosanct, almost religious .
The worst thing about it, is that I don't think they've managed to top Spider-Man.
Unfortunately Universal sung its swan song very early and has been trying to top it ever since...I believe that Universal's next "Best ride ever made" lives in the world of the practicalI think FJ are Gringotts are 2 rides that also push the envelope but yeah as the newness of Potter wears off I find myself having even more appreciation for Spiderman. I mean it's tough to be perfection. What other ride when it opened was immediately heralded as the greatest ride ever created. It's just perfect. Maybe Nintendo will have something special up its sleeves.

Well, stateside at least.One could make the same argument for Tower of Terror or Indiana Jones for Disney.
I think Gary Goddard said in a podcast last year that in the newer 3D rides since Spiderman, the pacing or the storytelling is off. He didn't say explicitly, but I think he might have been referring directly to Gringotts, because he said too often in the new rides the vehicle stops, and it feels like the ride is start/stop, start/stop, too much to be fun or even tell a cohesive story.I think FJ are Gringotts are 2 rides that also push the envelope but yeah as the newness of Potter wears off I find myself having even more appreciation for Spiderman.

Thanks to Stan Lee for characters that live forever in our minds.I think this is a good reason as to why. Spider-Man is pretty much non stop from the second you go. It also benefits from a relatively simple story with good characters.

It's a Spider Man Love Fest !!!
That works. That's where Universal places it in their other Studio like parks.The real ride through New York.
