Lights-On Spider-Man Ride at Universal's Islands of Adventure

[@deud.]

absolutely LOVE how the physical piece on the right at 0:35 moves at the same time as Spiderman moves in the screen, it's such a small detail but that needs so much good synchronisation just to make the experience better

[@Howlingburd19]

Just like the Forbidden Journey, it’s just absolutely insanely amazing how everything syncs so well! I don’t know how they do it :D

[@matth3w2002]

Oh my god I never noticed that thank you!

[@michaelthesanta3610]

I thought that was part of the screen!

[@marcolabate5254]

I wish it breaks one day so spiderman is just flying in the air randomly

[@DudleyDoRightsRipsawFallsFan]

they use trigger sensors so it detects when they pass over a certain point to when the animatronic should start moving i watched the behind the scenes and a ride mechanic said the screen knows it the ladder knows it

[@jakesfunhouse5077]

I love how themed it is even with the lights on.

[@Howlingburd19]

I love how it is, because a lot of dark rides don’t do that anymore :/

[@grudgematch6653]

For real bro they really wasn’t slacking off

[@mightymack1917]

I'd like the ride with the lights off

[@Howlingburd19]

@@grudgematch6653 of course they weren’t, don’t forget this ride was insanely revolutionary when it came out (and that’s an understatement) and to this day, it’s known as one of the best theme park attractions :)

[@matthewdavid3409]

Even the ceiling is themed which is so unusual, but is a testament to why this ride is so good!

[@Theme_parchive]

“Is that Spider-Man!? That no good ~*static*~ing red leotard~*static*~” Under appreciated line lol

[@sawsauce]

it’s hilarious 😂

[@Calakapepe]

@ 2:54 when you're supposed to be floating. I think it's a simple prop wall that lowers and lights that pan down.. but man does that illusion just really work (at least for a first ride) This ride was way better than I was expecting 😃

[@sawsauce]

Yes you are correct. There is a video that shows the ride breaking down and the walls weren’t functioning properly. I agree it’s an incredible illusion and I honestly wouldn’t have ever guessed if I didn’t find out online.

[@masterknife8423]

I hope this ride never gets removed. That kong ride should be turned into a rollercoaster. It was a pretty big waste of money not to mention Universal has a lack of coasters

[@iandeas4086]

Why is that? and the reason why they have a lack of outdoor coasters is because when it rains at IOA half the park gets shut down.

[@JaycePeterson]

Na kong is amazing as is

[@decbony]

Yeah it peed down last week when we were there and Kong was one of the few rides they kept open cause they skipped the outdoor part of it out. It is defo one of our family favourites.

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

Ian Deas indoor coasters the mummy is amazing

[@jasonr7035]

Master Knife Amen to that.

[@NocturneFexy]

This is simply put the most amazing ride in any Florida park (I haven't been on Forbidden Journey, I'm sorry), even with the lights on, that's how good it is!

[@Cargo_Bay]

When you ride FJ, Spiderman will move to #2 for you. It's uh-mazing!

[@Howlingburd19]

Junk Drawer I’m a much bigger superhero fan than a HP fan, so I prefer this one just a little bit more. The only thing I like more about this ride over the FJ is I *personally* think the screens look nicer to the eye, even though they’re both gorgeous

[@20-NYC]

This is one the best rides there. It should never be removed or taken away

[@armtys8931]

Best no-drop ride ever.

[@wesleyhall3554]

I appreciate these videos. I hate coasters and big drops but love rides like this. Nice to be able to see for myself what happens on a ride.

[@robloxkusag8093]

Yeah

[@Hhnskaterfan]

I love that you got it with lights on! You get to see all the cool scenery that gets missed in the dark

[@emilioaquino6903]

3:15 There's the Iron Man's comic poster while we're floating turning.

[@jamiemorgan3649]

My favorite ride of all time, this ride is a masterpiece

[@kdboe1212]

Best ride ever.

[@jaysaysyas]

The battle of metropolis ride sucks. This is what I call a ride. I've rode this before and it is just amazing!!

[@jtbackup4553]

Bruh clearly you’ve never ridden Justice League

[@nycandrewd]

this ride is super good justice league is to

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Kinda have a Great Movie Ride vibe, even with the lights on.

[@kylegathright]

It looks so strange with the lights on.

[@kevindinga6366]

I know

[@SPIDER-Man669]

Kyle Krazer Spider-Man swings and disappears 0:14

[@KyraCrossing]

Yea it looks even more weird

[@SkiingWithSam_H_P]

Probably best ride in islands tbh

[@Darth_Vader.731]

Oddly, this doesn't make the ride any less fun. If anything, it's cool to see how the ride operates

[@bryancurdi451]

It still looks good with the lights on

[@declanw038]

No joke I was on this on the exact same day I ended up riding 3 times. Ride 1: lights on ride 2: broke down on the falling part and effects glitched and on the final ride every thing worked😂😂

[@FaZeValkyrie]

RiOT P4NTH3R 03 O

[@legoauto]

Did anyone ever notice a iron man poster in the middle part of the ride? Am i not the only one?

[@bensanchez2105]

Yeah I Saw It Its At 3:15

[@SkiingWithSam_H_P]

Easter egg

[@yakkowarner20]

They even put Easter eggs on rides. I love these guys!

[@henrym4484]

Draggon Heart87 I saw the poster

[@ethannicoletti8690]

They also had him spray painted in the background of one of the screens

[@gachabunny4824]

I go there every year with my dad and I ride this like 6 times

[@brickinterviewertv]

i cant wait to ride this soon in a few weeks

[@Loveluellar]

do you actually feel the drop at 3:30?

[@Lumens1]

Yes

[@nathanblevins158]

Even with the light on. There so much detail. I wonder if you can walk around on Those sets.

[@sherylheath902]

I wonder how long the actual track is? I can’t work out if the same ground is being covered with different graphics?

[@attractionsmagazine]

Your vehicle never leaves the ground.

[@Bradly105]

What is that red line on the side of the screen for? 0:34

[@rochicidio]

Not supposed to be there

[@onepieceforever4382]

One of my favorite rides

[@SPIDER-Man669]

Onepiece Forever same here i would go on it more then 10 times on the Same day

My personal favorite theme park attraction ever :) And it still is in 2024

[@Cooper-di9pn]

Same here

[@bradleynguyen2004]

The only good screen ride

[@NocturneFexy]

Other than Forbidden Journey, Flight of Passage and a particular ride at Six Flags, I agree with you wholeheartedly

[@brycebitetti1402]

ShadesDoubleXX Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey? And does Guardians of the Galaxy count as a screen ride? Cause if so, I'd have to disagree.

[@bradleynguyen2004]

Bryce Bitetti well universal wise and 3-D. Transformer isn't that good honestly but spider man is the best

[@NocturneFexy]

[@meghanlovely1000]

Does this ride have any sudden drops or is it pretty much a straight track?

[@attractionsmagazine]

It only has a simulated drop.

[@meghanlovely1000]

@@attractionsmagazine that’s not bad then. I did ROTR at Hollywood studios and was fine with that one. I wouldn’t do gringotts though. Lol

[@ComicAuzi]

Anybody else think it looks 3D even without the glasses?

[@kw6stheater539]

Rock29Roll [Comic Auzi] Ehhhhh sort of. 3D is just blue and red, but this is probably some unnamed ?D glasses effect.

[@ComicAuzi]

Well it's definitely not red and blue. And I'm ignoring the blurred dual image and more focusing on the parallax movement.

[@KingRCT3]

That's probably thanks to squinching, a technic Universal developed for the first time on this ride. The idea is to digitally morph the scene according to the position of the vehicle (our point of view). See here, it's clearly explained: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6OtonRqntush9km8s

[@cgiacona]

Rock29Roll [Comic Auzi] I think it's the squinching effect they use.

There aren’t any real drops, just a simulated one.

@@attractionsmagazine can you feel it if you look at the screen?

what is the theme played at the end of the ride? I know it is a remix of the original theme.

[@Casholivani]

Is it scary

Is there spiders in this ?

[@JaycePeterson]

I rode it last night with lights on so cool!

[@KyraCrossing]

Wait how do you get to ride a ride with lights on or do you only get to do that if the ride breaks down?

[@KyraCrossing]

Because I never rode a ride with lights on the transformers ride “similar to Spider-Man ima use it as an example”.

[@westont98]

[@DreamfinderGuy]

I find it so odd how vividly I remember riding this, last time I did I was maybe when I was around the age of 7-8

[@chrisschnizer4395]

I can't make out exactly what Spider-Man says at 0:38

Chris Schnizer He says "With Doc Oc on the loose, this could be the most dangerous night of my life. And yours." I think

[@DukesFinalBoss]

Levi S. And then “Be careful. Nice shades!” Always loved that part cuz it’s easy to forget every single person is wearing 3D glasses when you’re staring at those screens the whole time lol

Wow the lights are on wich is cool cause you can see everything but it’s also not cool cause then you can’t really see the screens very well

[@SoundGuyDavo]

2015 came and went. We even saw Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd on Kimmel. but what does Universal do? Tear out the Back to the Future ride and make it a Simpsons ride, when they have the money and space to have put Simpsons somewhere else. BTF opened in 1991; unlimited technology in the whole universe; ride motion fluidity has become unreal today, but no, they ripped out a classic. The Spiderman ride is pretty cool; have been on it before. Islands of Adventure was amazing and actually felt magical when it opened; now it feels trashed, like a Six Flags park :(

[@Bradly105]
