Disney builds the first Spider-Man roller coaster


Disney builds the first Spider-Man roller coaster

The first Spider-Man roller coaster is officially in the works.

As part of the big D23 showcase of new attractions for their various theme parks, a Spider-Man-themed roller coaster has been confirmed to be coming to Shanghai Disneyland.

They also unveiled the first concept image of the ride.

They also announced that Hong Kong Disneyland will have an attraction featuring Spider-Man, Tony Stark and, judging by the concept art, Doctor Octopus.

Although neither attraction has been confirmed for Disneyland or Walt Disney World in America, these attractions are sometimes introduced overseas before making their way to one of the domestic Disney parks. Their Tron Roller coaster, which recently premiered at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, opened eight years ago at Shanghai Disneyland.

These won’t be Disney’s first Spider-Man rides. Both the Avengers Campus at Disneyland and Disneyland Paris have a Spider-Man attraction called Web Slingers, where guests climb into a vehicle and then use on-screen technology to sling webs with their hands. But it’s not a roller coaster – not even close. It’s more like an extremely high-tech and very advanced shooting gallery.

And Spider-Man, with his ability to stick to walls and swing through the air, seems to be the perfect subject for a roller coaster.

Disney also confirmed at D23 that two more rides are coming to Avengers Campus: Avengers: Infinity Defense and something called Stark Flight Lab.
