The theme park teamed up with Samsung. The ride will include the following:
- A high-speed virtual vertical ascent up 100 stories, while teetering off the edge of a helicopter
- A 360-degree rotating view high above massive city skyscrapers that are under siege by enormous spiders
- A high-intensity gun battle against a giant arachnid, spewing baby spiders that virtually crawl all over the rider’s body
- A thrilling virtual 100-story fiery plunge straight down between towering skyscrapers; and a final showdown with a spider the size of a van, teeth-gnashing and in full attack mode
