I love looking at ride layouts or diagrams. If you've ever wondered what the overhead
ride layout of the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman at Universal's Islands
of Adventure looks like this is the best one I've seen. Attached is a diagram
of what is probably the layout, at least it looks like it is pretty accurate
from what I can remember. It's a very disorienting ride. Number 50 is the
unload and load stations. How does Spiderman work? The ride basically uses
a six axis Stewart platform mounted to a vehicle chassis with the added ability to rotate due
to a ring and pinion gear system. Attached are a few drawings from the
patent for this amazing amusement ride vehicle.
Oceaneering owns that ride plan
