Universal Orlando set to Re-Open March 8th with New High Def 3-D Film

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is set re-open on Thursday, March 8 at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure. The attraction has received some major upgrades including all-new stunning 4K digital high-definition animation, a new musical score and all-new 3-D “Spider-Vision” glasses. This is one of Orlando’s most popular attractions and the updates were targeted to keep the attraction drawing guests for years to come.

Here are highlights from the must-see 3-D experience:

• Legendary comic book icon and Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in the new film animation.
• Universal claims the action is more life-like than ever and that guests will actually see the movement of the characters’ muscles and the changes in their facial expressions.
• The enhanced attraction features a new original music score. It is the same Spider-Man theme you love – with a rockin’ twist.
• The ride vehicle audio system has been upgraded from 8-channel to 16-channel so riders will be even more immersed in the action. Guests will experience 3-D sound quality.

There are hundreds of cool new details for guests to discover in the attraction. Lighting, sets, graphics, props and even scenic detail have been updated to further enhance the animation’s tremendous improvements.

And, for the first time ever, Universal Orlando is giving guests the opportunity to unlock sneak peeks of the new hi-def ride animation before the attraction reopens next week. Here’s the first snippet released:
