MARVEL SUPER
HERO ISLAND
ATTRACTION FACT SHEET
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.
