New Spider Man ride at Universal to open March 8

Universal Orlando has been working on some major upgrades to their popular Spider Man ride, and the theme park has announced that the new Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man will reopen on March 8.

The ride has been reanimated in high-definition. In addition, Spider-Man now has a new musical score, and the sets and ride vehicles have been upgraded, too.

Some specifics about the new ride:

1. Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in the new film animation.
2. The action is more life-like than ever.  Guests will actually see the movement of the characters’ muscles and the changes in their facial expressions.
3. The ride vehicle audio system has been upgraded from 8-channel to 16-channel.
4. Lighting, sets, graphics, props and even scenic detail have been updated with hundreds of new details.
5. And there are some cool, new 3-D glasses to wear when riding, too.
