The "flying" effect still gets me. It's really cool.

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest rides ever made and I honestly think it hasn't been topped to this day. The effects are incredible! It's severely underrated.

Even after 20 years, this ride is still the best and better than whatever Disney cooked up.

they did a FUCKING AMAZING job with this ride, i really did feel like i was falling in that last part of the ride, i go the butterflies in my stomach and everything, it was crazy!

The hob goblin fire effect is the most immersive thing I have ever witnessed on any ride, I absolutely love this ride.

one of my all time favorite rides

I still dont understand how it felt like i fell 30 stories lmao

The ride broke down for those eight people who disliked

The entire time I was on the ride I thought... HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS AND HOW DID THEY MAKE IT

One of my favorite theme park rides of all time, and my favorite ride in Islands of Adventure. I haven't been in over 10 years and I want to go back so badly.

This is over 14 years old (came out in 98) and STILL the bestride in the world!? NO ONE has topped it! The HD retool was actually good (unlike the Simpsons which is a blurry dim mess). Harry Potter was supposed to top this but doesn't even touch it.

I went on this ride back in 2001 about a week and a half after the 9/11 attack. Half the screens weren't working and a lot of the time we were just looking at blank screens. I was still blown away by how much fun it was.

This ride still kicks ass 20 years later

1:57 The Idea Of Squinching

Having ridden this ride multiple times at multiple locations (in multiple different countries), it's truly amazing to know what went into making it. For my money, they succeeded on all counts. Definitely one of the most immersive rides I've ever been on.

It's from a TV documentary from, like, 1999 or 2000. It was only recently uploaded to KZfaq, however. The attraction itself is still the same, however.

I never get tired of this ride.... it's fawesome

in the gravity ray part i thought we went up like 30 ft

Wow! Did not see this specific behind the scenes video before, thanks for posting!

Would love a new back to the future ride using these vehicles

So that explains all of it! Well said!

Here because I can’t believe the flying segment is an illusion

Just rode this ride 2 days ago...so awesome

Great video. Definitely answered some questions I had about the ride.

Awesome ride

Went on this and the Harry Potter Forbidden Journey ride today. I don't know that much about either so I was unbiased. I can honestly and whole heartedly say that this was even better than the Harry Potter ride even though it's a little over ten years older than the Forbidden Journey.

awsome vid mate! i love this ride :)

So the walls are moving down we are not moving up

I'm still stunned by this ride...

Awesome

And the car when it revs its just satisfying how it sounds

I love this ride!!! and i can't wait for the refurbish in march of 2012!!

3:22 the hard hat had spiderman on it

& well done!

the riders at 4:40 are doing the same thing I did when I rode this ride looking up in the air to see if they were floating

This ride has broke a few times, but i still enjoy it, its an amazing ride

True.

Who came here for the flying effect because when I rode it I was looking around the set trying to figure out how’d it worked

Takes me to 2005, I was born. To this day I rode it ever since

I want to try that one

This ride made me so damn sick

Nic Vid

One of the dislikes came from Disney

3:18 I thought that head was part of the ride lol

think this 3d is amazing and coo even the cartoon

@bewaretheconficker I believe the ride is based on the Spider Man cartoon in the time period rather than the comics

I always wanted to know the technology of this ride.

@killahfromanilla actually it is becuse you sit in a simulator car that moves on a track and that is how it is similar. Bcause i know the simultators like star tours, wild artic etc. move and the car is staionary.

they use a thing as your flying in the ride

This ride actually inspired other dark rides, like Transformers: The Ride: 3D, for example. But there’s one huge and cool difference between the two dark rides. In Transformers: The Ride: 3D, when you’re driving on the streets with Optimus Prime, the real life room is actually an elevator, so you’ll be going up. And when you’re falling off of a building where you were, the other elevator room where you’re in that scene where you’re falling goes down to the ground. In The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, when you’re flying up in the air, and then you’re falling down from the air, there’s no two elevators. Also, this makes no sense at all, because when you ride the 3D Transformers ride, and you’re in the room which is the first elevator that goes up, the up-moving first elevator room in real life doesn’t match with the scene on the 3D projection screen where you’re driving so fast, watching Optimus Prime pinning Megatron down to the street road, and that scene doesn’t show you going up, you’re just going forward. Why? Maybe Universal ran out of story ideas for the riding part of the Transformers attraction. I even think that The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man was the first 3D dark ride ever built.

I actually really miss the ost used on this ride before they updated it :(

@Meleon900 errr... no its not. If anything Dinosaur at DAK is "just like Indiana Jones" seen as it uses the exact same ride technology coupled with animatronics and physical effects. True, you sit in a car that moves on a track but that's where the similarities end.

yes acttually it is juxt

The flying part could be much cooler if they found a way to tilt the vehicle completely forward and backward, and maybe to add a stronger wind.

Hands down favorite ride at Universal. Kong follows. Simpsons is also great. People give Universal way too much heat for screen rides but this is what I love about Universal. I don't want to ride the Hulk anymore I'm too chicken now 🤣.

Trumpet the fucking Dinopup ! Your dino paw ftw

@flboy1982 not in my opinion, still amazing though i think the best is the rock 'n' rollercoaster

@WDI2008 The contract expires next year and I am sure Disney will pull the plug on any contract renewel

Who ever fine tuned this should have done The forbidden journey, The movement on that ride is horrible

@lightningwu nope. this still is the best ride

I still don't know where the water comes from

This is how the transformers ride will be in hollywood

Notice he mentions the Back To The Future Ride. New BTTF Ride in 2015 anyone?

This was groundbreaking then came harry potter and made something new

@WDI2008 pull on any contract renewel what thats means?

this ride is just like indiana Jones at DISNEYLAND

we got stuck and saw this

What be cool is that since now almost everything is now being based on the movies, Why not make this ride based on the movies with tobey like make a lil story have green goblin as the villian mesh it up to have doc oc within the same lab as goblin, Have sandman threaten to have all of nyc burried in sand, And have venom in the construction site but that would be his nest with lil symbiotes spawning sorta like web of shadows. Like if you agree this ride should be modified from the movies

I have a question I’m a very scared rider and I was wondering if this had any drops on it

what program is this clip from? It aired on USA and travel channel in 2002...??

Where is Islands of Adventure ?

@kham2914 lol, it depends on the eyes of the beholder ^_^

I wish I could go and ride it but I'm dirt poor

@flboy1982 lol, till Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ^_^

If only it were legal to marry a ride.........

2:35

Katie

they are using these techniques to make harry potter and the forbidden journey.

@maxwellsmart2000 No.. that would be stupid. Besides, they are already reanimating the ride in HD.

1:35 this guy looks like Messi

@maxwellsmart2000 Well, spider man was comic first, movie second. I would much rather have all these villains that weren't in the movies be in the ride, because the Spiderman movies had a very bland selection of villains, but THIS ride has Electro, Scream, and Hydroman. Plus, that would be wayyyyyyy too much work. Like it would ruin the ride and be nothing like the original material.

@karl1128 in orlando, florida, USA

Meanwhile Disney has owned Marvel for 10 years and all they’ve managed to do is retheme Tower of Terror.

T2 is not a ride.

@maxwellsmart2000 And another thing, why on earth go through all the trouble to make this already perfect ride look like a dead film trilogy? It'd make more sense to do it like the upcoming film, and still that makes no sense because this is supposed to be based on the comics.

*cough,cough,Forbidden Journey,cough cough*

Amazing ride. I still think the Indiana Jones adventure is slightly better and more innovative.

Fake 3d

This wont be here much longer now that Disney owns Marvel
