An incredibly sophisticated attraction, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure blurs the line between virtual and reality so well that you'll emerge slack-jawed and awe-struck. (At least that was my reaction the first time I experienced it.) Already one of the best theme park rides in the world since its introduction in 1999, a 2012 makeover added all-new HD film animation, new 3-D glasses, and other enhancements that produce remarkably crisp and bright images and make the attraction even more immersive and awe-inspiring.
