Islands of Adventure Attractions
Marvel Super Hero Island Attractions:
The
Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
Universal Express
Height Requirement: 40 inches
The best way to describe this attraction is to call it "sensory overload". You begin
the attraction by noticing the amazing job they have done
in designing the area you walk through while you wait. You begin by walking through the offices of the Daily Bugle newspaper, where hints of the story
you are about to 'experience' are fed to you. Eventually,
you work your way onto a car that is somewhat similar
to the Dinosaur vehicles used at Disney's
Animal Kingdom. That, however, is where the similarities
end. With 3D "Spider-Vision" glasses in hand, your adventure begins.
Almost immediately, you become aware that this will be
a most unusual ride. A state-of-the-art 4K high definition film and 16-channel audio system will make you feel like you're in the middle of the action, allowing you to see such minute details as the stitching on Spidey's gloves. In one
scene, Spider-Man appears to jump on the roof of your
vehicle, and the vehicle responds accordingly.
Throughout the attraction, 3D characters appear to punch,
kick and otherwise pummel your car into spins and even
very high free falls.

DIS Tips:
1)
Single
riders line is available. The single riders line usually
opens when the regular wait is 30 minutes or more.
2) This attraction is always busy; try to plan a visit early in your day.

The
Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster
Universal Express
Height Requirement: 54 inches
If
you like coasters, you should find the Incredible Hulk Coaster
to be a fairly enjoyable ride. Visible from almost
every area of the park, this 'green behemoth' is an imposing
structure that is built directly over trafficked areas of
the park. As a matter of fact, one of the rides loops
actually goes under the bridge between Marvel Superhero
Island and Port of Entry. Unlike many coasters,
the Incredible Hulk Coaster shoots you out of the gate,
going from 0 to 40mph in 2 seconds flat. There
is no real straight-away here for you to recover from the
series of corkscrews, loops and subterranean dips.
This attraction has received rave reviews from visitors
and coaster enthusiasts alike, and is a VERY BIG draw for
crowds. Expect to do this first thing in the morning,
or right before park closing.
Tip: Single riders line is available. The single riders line usually opens when the regular wait is 30 minutes or more. For the best view, ride in the front row. For a more intense ride, choose the back row.

Dr. Doom's Fearfall
Universal Express
Height Requirement: 52 inches
This attraction blasts you 150 feet up, and forces you back down faster than gravity. You are in an open air car during this and should be a particular warning for those with a fear of heights.
Tip: Single riders line is available. The single riders line usually opens when the regular wait is 30 minutes or more.
Storm Force Accelatron
The X-Men need your help! Professor X has recruited you to enhance Storm's weather control abilities against her battle with Magneto. You climb aboard round teacup-like pods (seats up to 5) and you spin yourself around. The faster you spin, the more energy you produce for Storm. Ultimately, Storm wins and Magneto retreats. This ride is a clone of the popular Mad Tea Party at the Magic Kingdom. The ride differs because the "teacups" have a lot more legroom for adults. There's also a cool rock sound and other lighting effects. Storm Force Accelatron is best experienced at night. The strobe, lights, and fog effects are enhanced greatly in the dark.
