The Spider-Man roller coaster coming to Shanghai Disneyland has hit a major construction milestone, with the resort recently completing the final section of ride track. The coaster is the centerpiece of an entirely new Spider-Man themed land, set to become the ninth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland and the park’s first area dedicated to the web-slinger, according to Laughing Place.
Shanghai Disneyland has been one of the fastest-growing Disney parks in the world since it opened in 2016, and the addition of a Spider-Man coaster continues the resort’s expansion into major Marvel attractions. The ride is part of a broader push to bring more Marvel IP to Disney parks internationally, following Marvel-themed expansions at parks in California, Florida, and Hong Kong.
Shanghai Disney Resort’s Growing Marvel Presence
Shanghai Disneyland already features the Tron Lightcycle Power Run coaster, a fan-favorite attraction that remains one of the most thrilling rides in any Disney park worldwide. As the anchor of a full new themed land rather than a standalone ride, the Spider-Man coaster represents a significant expansion of the resort’s thrill ride lineup and would give Marvel fans in Asia another must-do experience. The ride is expected to be a major draw once it opens, given Spider-Man’s massive popularity across the region.
Globally, Disney has been steadily expanding its Marvel footprint across its parks. Avengers Campus is already open at both Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris, and Marvel-themed additions continue to be announced at parks around the world. The Shanghai Spider-Man coaster fits squarely into that strategy.
Shanghai Disneyland’s 10th Anniversary Momentum
The coaster news comes as Shanghai Disney Resort is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a wave of major announcements, including the naming of its third hotel, the Enchanted Star Hotel, opening this winter. The resort has grown enormously since its 2016 opening, cementing itself as one of the premier Disney destinations in the world. The Spider-Man coaster, when complete, will add another world-class attraction to a park that is clearly entering a new era of expansion and ambition.
