Shanghai Disney Resort adding Spider-Man-themed roller-coaster ride to its web of appeal
- The forthcoming attraction, which will offer guests a high-speed, fully immersive experience, is based on the popular Marvel Super Heroes
The company, a venture between Walt Disney and state-owned Shanghai Shendi (Group), said on Sunday that the Spider-Man-themed roller-coaster ride will offer guests a high-speed, fully immersive experience. It did not reveal the investment or the completion date for the ninth attraction at the Shanghai Disneyland amusement park.
Based on the popular Marvel Super Heroes the proposed attraction will allow guests to follow Spider-Man, who has got himself into a bit of a tangle, at very high speeds to help him get out of trouble, Shanghai Disney Resort said in a statement.
The announcement came just eight months after the opening of a Zootopia-themed attraction, the first of its kind in the world, to burnish the appeal of the US$5.5 billion resort.
“The new attraction’s initial construction preparation work began earlier this year,” the statement said, adding that it will be located next to the Zootopia-themed land.
