Introducing the next generation of
theme park attractions, Marvel Super Hero Island incorporates
unprecedented technology with the most popular comic book heroes and
villains of all time. Setting the stage for the first-ever interactive
comic book experience are three 21st century thrill rides.
Guests experience the gravity-defying inversions of the Incredible Hulk
Coaster, the plummeting 200-foot drop of Doctor Doom's Fearfall and the
zooming, 3-D ride through the battle-filled streets of New York with The
Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.
The
Amazing Adventures of
Spider-Man
For the first time in theme park
history, an attraction combines moving ride vehicles, filmed 3-D action
and special effects in one revolutionary ride. As guests tour the
offices of the Daily Bug e newspaper where Peter Parker. aka Spider-Man.
works as a reporter, they realize evil villains have used an
anti-gravity gun to steal the Statue of Liberty. Drafted as part of a
civilian force, guests must help Spider-Man retrieve the national
treasure. Speeding through the 1.5 acre street set, guests are swept
into the midst of an extraordinary battle between good and evil that
includes high-tech effects, including an amazing sensory drop 400 feet
into darkness.
The Incredible Hulk Coaster
Entering Dr. Bruce Banner's lab,
guests learn that Banner is conducting special gamma-ray accelerator
tests. They climb inside their vehicle and realize something has gone
terribly wrong. Shooting out of the emerald Gamma Force Accelerator with
the same thrust as a U.S. Air 
Force F-16 fighter attack jet- they know
they are in for the thrill ride of their lives. First, the roller
coaster blasts riders from zero to 40 mph in two seconds utilizing a
specially designed booster thrust. Immediately following is a heartline
inversion, 100 feet from the ground, during which guests go weightless.
In two minutes and 15 seconds, the 32 passengers in the vehicle
experience seven roll-overs and plunge into two deep subterranean
enclosures.
Doctor Doom's Fearfall
Piercing the skyline are two
200-foot menacing towers of steel. As guests sit in the four-passenger
seats, they learn of Doctor Doom's new creation. He has built a machine
that will drain the fear from them. With feet dangling, they are fired
to the top of these awesome constructions, just to be sent plummeting to
the ground at unthinkable speed. With a drop this fast and steep, there
is not even a chance to scream.
