They should throw up a web-slinging Stan Lee up there. BTW, anybody else think that the Stan Lee cameo will be as the driver of the garbage truck?
Maybe they'll make him more 3D now that the ride is taking this new HD / more realistic direction? Then again, maybe it'll just be a new coat of paint.
Regardless of what they're doing to the ride film, the facade still needs to fit in Marvel Super Hero Island. A 3D Spiderman wouldn't fit in with the comic book theme.
They should replace the water lines with silly string.
I've never seen or even heard of that before either. I kinda hope they don't fix it. I hate that stupid Stitch sign that spits at DtD
That's true, so they probably will just re-paint it. And maybe fix that water / spider web effect that I've never seen before
I was under the impression that all of the large character graphics in MSHI were printed and not hand painted. The reason for this is because they are made up of joined panels. The other reason is that when they replace them with brighter graphics, it happens overnight. The steel claw guy outside the spidy photo op store comes right to the ground so perhaps someone can take a closer look.

I thought the truck driver was animated. He looked real the first several times I went on it but after going so many times and taking closer look, he look animated as well. Regardless, I think that will be the Stan Lee cameo, as well.
Well yeah, he isn't truly live action. I guess I just meant the only non-comic book character.
I guess... doesn't look like Hugh Jackman though.
On closer streetview, the character getting hit by lighting or electricity across from the captain america diner shows that it is clearly made up of 4-5 foot panels. That was where I recalled noticing they were printed back in 1999. This is visible on streetview today on that particular character.
Edit, edit, edit: Sorry I am so unclear on the characters... I was never a fan of reading comic books... so I do not know the culture at all. Only the most famous are known to me.

That's because this reflects the comic version of the character when the island was created. That's why I think it would be a mistake to "update" the Spiderman figure. He fits in with the theme of the island. Every character reflects a comic version from relatively the same era. If then went ahead and replaced everything across the island, I'd get it. But I still don't think it would make sense. I feel like the versions we have now best reflect the idea of stepping into a comic book. And either Spiderman would feel out of place, or a lot would need to change around MSI.
I wonder if the Bugle itself will get a makeover/refrub. I know there are some bagels in there that are getting might moldy
