Giant Mechanical Spider Revealed for Shanghai Disneyland’s New Spider-Man Coaster

A new thematic element of Shanghai Disneyland's upcoming Spider-Man themed coaster has been installed – and it's pretty big and menacing!

What's Happening:

• The ninth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland will offer up the park’s first major Marvel-themed attraction – a high-energy thrill coaster featuring Spider-Man.
• Guests entering the land will be surrounded by Spider-Man and his friends with unique shopping, food and beverage, and entertainment experiences that extend the story and invite guests into the web-slinger’s world.
• While we don't currently know too much about the new coaster, today, Shanghai Disney Resort has shared a look at a giant theming element that has been installed alongside the track. This appears to some sort of giant Spider-Bot type machine, akin to those featured in the WEB SLINGERS attraction at Disney California Adventure and Disney Adventure World.

• Last month, the track installation for the attraction was completed, with the last piece of the iconic Spidey red track installed on site.
• An opening timeframe for the new experience has yet to be announced.
