[IASW Rider]

As always, kindly remember to swing by and pick me up when you're done with your adventures........I'm too afraid to ride the coasters, here........so I'll just stay here with my margaritas!

 

[castlegazer]

IASW Rider - there are some really nice rides in Seuss Landing.

For everyone else, don't make me hold TLinden's Mickey sign above my head to get you all to follow!

Come on! I have a coaster to ride!

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Which coaster are you leading us to anyway? From the looks of it you are going to Fire & Ice. I will ride Ice, but I will not ride Fire. I'd much rather ride the Hulk. How about we turn around, ride the Hulk and Spidey, get wet on Dudley's Ripsaw Falls and Popeye's Bilge Rat Barges, then you guys can head over to Fire & Ice while I go back to the Hard Rock Hotel to dry off. You can meet me by the HRH pool. I'll be the one in the beach Club drinking a Sweet Home Alabama.

I'm with Ed on these. No way, no how am I getting on those other coasters. RnRC is as much thrill as this girl needs. But, it is kinda nice visiting over here. I've never been before. Wonder if my family would like it. Otherwise, I'm with IASW Rider...I'll be at a bar!!!

 

[CamColt]

This is different for me too! As tough as it is to be away from WDW, this is fun!

 

[castlegazer]

Ed, can we hit Universal tomorrow? I am dying to go on Mummy also. I think you are going to want to ride Spiderman more than once. I was saving that for last.

As an aside, the creators of that ride created in my home town's backyard out in the Berkshires. I got to meet the creators at a political function and gush to them about how much I like the ride.

And for those who want to ride on Hulk, here's your chance as we pass through Marvel Super Hero Island - I actually am not a fan of this one, I can't explain it, most people love it, but i don't like it very much and the lines.....!

 

[castlegazer]

Here's a shot of Marvel Super Hero Island

 

[deadheadbelle]

Woo Hoo! This is fun!!!! Yipee Yahoo!

 

[edcrbnsoul]

Allright, but can we go on Jurassic Park ride?

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Don't worry about the lines, Castlegazer. I have my magic keys from the HRH. Hey! What's that siren? Do you think someone is hurt? Oh. It is the arrival of the superheroes ! Let's get our picture taken with Spider-Man!

 

[castlegazer]

Oh yeah, I was just getting to that, you gotta go on Jurassic Park.

I am trying to find shots of the inside of the Spiderman ride.

bear with me some of these are a little funky - the good ones are too large to post here:

The Experience
You enter the maze-like offices of "The Daily Bugle." As you tour the grounds, a number of television monitors inform you that the city is under siege by a crew of super-villains, led by the one-and-only Doctor Octopus. At the end of the tour, you end up being assigned to the story and board a van into the city. Once en route, you immediately spot the gang of villains stealing the Statue of Liberty. They see you too and go to great lengths to try to stop you. Thankfully, Spiderman is there for your rescue. But he must fight off the bad guys first, and you get stuck in the middle of the battle.

The Thrills
This 3-D ride expertly mixes the simulator technology of "Back to the Future: The Ride" with true rollercoaster thrills. You bounce around, feel the impact of all the blows thrown and pass through an endless string of unique environments. All the while, you're completely immersed in the comic book adventure around you. An absolutely amazing experience that should not be missed.

here's another review:

It is the greatest ride ever built. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man 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 3-D action with pyrotechnic special effects.

Guests are swept into a raging New York City street fight between one of America's most beloved super heroes and a cast of ominous super-villains. The conflict rages 360-degrees around, above and under guests, and bursts through movie screens straight at them.

It affects in both amazing sensory and visceral ways. Guests speed through New York City streets while helping Spider-Man in his epic fight against villains. Flaming pumpkins and spewing water pipes hurled by the forces of evil seem to fly towards startled riders before smashing into their vehicles, ultimately careening off into the night.

The adventure begins with a visit to the Daily Bugle, where Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, toils in the Fourth Estate. He learns that the forces of darkness have used their Anti-Gravity gun to steal the ultimate symbol of freedom, The Statue of Liberty. Parker enlists Islands of Adventure guests to help him return this beacon of freedom from dastardly hands. The comic book-style battle begins.

A foreboding Doc Ock (Doctor Octopus) ultimately takes aim at riders with his Doomsday Anti-Gravity gun, which zaps guests 400 feet in the air before plunging them the same 400 feet down towards the dark street below.

It's an experience unlike any other ever created. Traditional 3-D films require viewers to remain in one location. The challenge of Spider-Man was to get guests directly involved in the action as they view three-dimensional films and move at high speeds past various movie screens and props - at unusual angles and varying distances.

Called a "moving point of convergance," the new technology was developed along with pioneering motion-picture techniques by a hand-picked team to achieve astounding results. The effect relies on 25 large-format movie projectors and dozens of smaller projectors. Guests see 3-D wherever they look.

Hey while you all were waiting in line, I went with IMGONNABE40 and used the HRH key to go on Dueling Dragons and the Ice side, per request again. Check out this shot from our ride:
