THE best ride! 4 trips to Orlando from the UK since 2005 and everyone there are only 2 things that were done on all trips. Spiderman, terminator 2-3D and A Florida airboat. The first time in '05 I queued for over 2 hours, though it mattered not, the whole experience of "the tour" and the cartoon intro, made the line seem like part of the ride (I went back and did it all again the next day). The Simpsons ride though (not mentioned above, is it not a "Scoop" car?) is really close behind Spidey!
This ride is one of my all time favorites. Ah the summer of 99. Amazing to me that as an annual passholder to Universal you were able to get into Island of Adventure for a measly $25. It was incredible and virtually empty. I never understood why it was so empty at first. I don't think there has ever been a park as innovative as Islands of Adventure. So many amazing attractions and right at opening day with The Amazing Spiderman taking the crown.
Great article! Only one correction, on page 3 it says "Intruders! If you think you're getting out of here," he laughs, "you're in for it!".....but he says "you're in for a shock!" unless that changed in the new version (?)
