| This is a Front On-Ride POV of The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man in HD. POV filmed by with a Sony Xr500v. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is a theme park ride located in Islands of Adventure, in Orlando, Florida and Universal Studios Japan. Built for Islands of Adventure's opening in 1999, the attraction is a hybrid ride combining special roving motion vehicles with 3-D projection, elaborate physical sets, and both practical and tactile effects. This system was later utilized for a haunted house ride at Busch Gardens Williamsburg called The Curse of DarKastle, and is expected to be used on the Transformers ride currently under construction at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Singapore. The ride takes park guests-turned-last-minute-reporters into the world of Marvel Comics' Spider-Man, and after boarding a Daily Bugle vehicle known as the "Scoop", the rider learns that the evil Sinister Syndicate has captured the Statue of Liberty with an anti-gravity gun. This evil group is made up of many famous Spider-Man villains, including Doctor Octopus, Scream, Electro, Hydro-Man, and the Hobgoblin. On May 19, 2011, Universal announced a major refurbishment of the attraction, with plans to re-master the entire ride-film in High-definition as well as to update the ride's mechanics and to replace the film projectors with Infitec digital projectors. The refurbished version of the attraction is planned to debut in 2012. |
