Posted January 9, 201510 yr comment_200552 Pretty surprised to see there's no thread for this! Surely a ride so epic in every way deserves its own discussion? Spiderman is currently my all-time favourite ride. I remember it being one of the focuses of a theme park documentary I was watching a good 10 years back, showing behind the scenes footage and also footage of the ride itself...and when the famous finale to the ride was displayed, my mind was blown. Consequently, in the summer of 2008, I finally had the chance to give this a ride once and for all! SPOILERS: Edited January 9, 201510 yr by Tommy [spoiler]
January 9, 201510 yr comment_200562 You didn't spoiler...? You... Didn't... Spoiler... Life ruined. Never riding a dark ride again.
January 9, 201510 yr Author comment_200567 You didn't spoiler...? You... Didn't... Spoiler... Whoooops! Sorry about that. Just edited that bit out! (of course the POV is optional) Anyway, on other matters... I remember it being one of the focuses of a theme park documentary I was watching a good 10 years back, showing behind the scenes footage and also footage of the ride itself I think this is what I'm on about: SPOILERS: Edited January 9, 201510 yr by Tommy [spoiler]
January 9, 201510 yr comment_200575 You didn't spoiler...? You... Didn't... Spoiler... You didn't know a video titled 'Spider-Man ride POV' would contain spoilers...? You... Didn't... Know...
January 9, 201510 yr comment_200576 I never went on the original and didn't realise the difference in quality was so large. The new HD version makes the old version look prehistoric. Every scene was completely re-animated. I rank Spiderman over Potter because I think the effects mesh together way better (and it doesn't make me nauseous).
January 10, 201510 yr comment_200582 You didn't know a video titled 'Spider-Man ride POV' would contain spoilers...? You... Didn't... Know... Oi, Coasterdude since edited out some of his post which openly commented about the finale of the ride. He's now respectfully removed it, but really? I wouldn't watch a POV if I didnt want it spoilt, I'm really not that stupid.
January 10, 201510 yr Author comment_200599 As much as I love the look of the enhanced version, there are still some things I prefer about the original. The main one being the soundtrack, as I think it really built the tension in places. Of course, it HAD to be changed for the sake of enhancement, but this is all a matter of opinion.
January 10, 201510 yr comment_200605 when was the ride enhanced... I can't remember that much about it, but I went back in 2005. I didn't realised it had been enhanced, that explains why it's still regarded as one of the best rides I'm guessing
January 10, 201510 yr Author comment_200609 ...and let me add - if you thought you knew any other ride with great buildup in its queue...have I got news for you?
