WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure to use Virtual Queue

[fctiger]

Someone on another site mentioned they rode it and I asked them what they thought of it. This is what they said:

"It was ok . Difficult to see which web was yours even though it was color coded. Got tired using my arms.. similar to a video game but it was okay. Similar to the toy story ride where you rack up points. Graphics are great especially the introduction waiting room where Peter Parker talks to you."

So far based on the few scant reviews a lot of them are saying basically the same thing, decent ride, but nothing amazing (get it ).

And it does sound like it really tires out your arm. At least for some. For me, if I like it as much as I do TSM, I'll consider it a win, but it's clearly not going to compete with the bigger attractions. It sounds closer to TSM/TLM/MI level of enjoyment.

That's what I figured but good to hear from someone that's ridden it. I still haven't been on ROTR and being a SW nerd, it's clearly the priority for me.

I'm a Marvel nerd, not a SW nerd (though I like a portion of SW a lot). So for me personally the choice is Marvel over Star Wars. I also have motion sickness issues, so I will never be able to ride ROTR because of the drop, which is a shame because I think I'd enjoy a lot of the rest of it. But I need the family-friendly/less intense attractions. So there, WEB would also get my vote.

But for anyone other than a diehard Marvel fan or someone with motion sickness who can't go on ROTR, the first choice logically is the E-Ticket ROTR as the bigger experience.

I'd put it like this: Space Mountain vs. Buzz Lightyear Astro-Blasters. I can't go on Space Mountain. But I still really always enjoy Buzz. So it's both necessity AND choice. But if you asked most other people to choose between those two, they'd think you're ridiculous to choose Buzz over SM. That said, I would get no enjoyment from SM and get plenty from Buzz. So ultimately, each to their own, but most people will understandably choose the thrill ride first.

Hey everyone is different and I'm really glad that there's a new ride that you will be able to enjoy, I hope you have a great time.

I would strongly encourage you to try ROTR, I’m guessing the drop is about 3 feet - that makes you sick ?

I think you meant 30 feet? Drop is surely between 20-30 feet. Splash Mountain is 50 feet. It looks a lot but it's not.

maybe your right ? To me it was so quick that I thought it was of an illusion than a physical drop

 

[DrAlice]

Hoping we can ride both!!

Does it matter what park I reserved for the start of the day if I want to get a BG for Spider-Man or Rise at noon?

 

[Giss Neric]

When is media day, tomorrow? I wanna see the POV already.

 

[DLR>WDW]

Nope, doesn’t matter! As long as you have a park hopper and have scanned into either of the parks by noon, you can reserve an ROTR or Spider-Man boarding pass if you aren’t actively in one of those queues.

Yep, tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the commentary here. Lol!

Perfect, thank you!

But for the 7am one, you do need to have that park reserved, correct?

 

[waltography]

Yes! So if you've got DL reserved, you can only try for Rise; if you've got DCA, you can only try for Web.

Whatever it is, it’s the same height as the elevators in the AT-AT scene. 25-ish feet? The drop isn’t just for thrill, it’s necessary to get you back to ground level. “What goes up…!” and all that.

In case y’all haven’t seen the actual BTS of the drop sequence; I was quite amazed when I first saw it, then again later when I experienced it for myself. I think I read before that the drop is around 21 feet.

21 feet!? I would have said 5-10 feet. So what are the GOTG MB drops then?

 

[BayouShack]

Same. I knew you move 20 feet vertically, but I thought it was a 5 foot initial jolt, followed by a smooth lowering to the bottom.

Right I thought it was a 5-10 foot drop and then the rest of the way you go down slowly during the simulator portion of the ride. I still find it hard to believe to be honest. Actually on second thought 20 feet isn’t really that long of a drop. It’s just that the number sounds big compared to sensation felt on the ride

I think the reason it feels so minimalistic is because almost the entirety of the drop is controlled and the bottom half is just them smoothing out acceleration so you don't come to a quick stop lol. That animation that was posted basically shows off what I mean. Then, compared to GotG:MB, that system pulls you down faster than gravity so it definitely feels more intense just because of that

This is what makes Disney still the best innovative theme parks in the world. ROTR is probably the most innovative dark ride since Indy (but POTC at SDL is no slouch either) and now they are both in the same park. Absolutely amazing.

Indy is still better
