What EXACTLY is Spiderman?

[the Dark Marauder]

Here's a simple exercise you can do that might clarify what I'm trying to say.

Take two CD/DVD cases and place them on top of each other. The bottom one represents the vehicle's base, while the top represents the part you sit in. The base moves in one direction--the direction of the track. The upper part can move around--up, down, left, right--while staying attached to the bottom. Try moving both cases and rotate the top one a little.

Hopefully that makes enough sense...

I totally agree. The name "amazing" totally fits the ride.

I agree. I truly think it is one of the top 2 or 3 theme parks attraction in Orlando. It is my personal favorite.

I don't do the large coasters (fear of heights) and I found Spidey to be just fine.

Maybe this video will help. It is the ride video so if you don't want spoilers, then don't look.

This cameraman recorded in 3-d (put the glasses on the camera) and the guys in the vehicle are really hamming it up.

It's a vehicle that moves through the attraction on a track(but it's no rollercoaster), the vehicle is on a motion base, the vehicle moves from scene to scene and since it's on a motion base it reacts to all the things the villains do throughout the ride.And since it's in 3-D it's extra cool.Simulated drops feel real but 99% of people shouldn't have a problem with it.

don't forget to pick up the 3D glasses.
if you go thru the single riders line, you will see them in a bin before you reach the top of the landing.
