Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
Shanghai Disneyland is gearing up to welcome a web-slinging adventure like no other! The park’s all-new Spider-Man-themed land has officially broken ground, marking a major milestone in its development. This exciting expansion will become Shanghai Disneyland’s ninth themed land and its third major expansion since opening in 2016. Let’s dive into the details of what promises to be every Spidey fan’s dream come true.
A Thrilling Marvel Adventure
The centerpiece of this new land is Shanghai Disneyland’s first-ever Marvel-themed attraction: a high-energy thrill coaster starring Spider-Man. Disney has been teasing layouts for this coaster for months, and while it wasn’t clear what they were for at the time, it’s now confirmed that the design belongs to this adrenaline-pumping addition.
Predominantly featured in the land’s concept art is the logo for the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB). This in-world fictional organization is an institute where youth and young-adult engineers develop their skills using cutting-edge technology from Stark Industries, Wakanda, and PYM Tech. The inclusion of WEB ties the new land to the larger Marvel theme park Universe canon, which includes rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout and the Avengers: Quantum Encounter show from the Disney Cruise Line. Fans can look forward to experiencing the excitement of Spidey’s world in a way that’s fast-paced, action-packed, and totally immersive.

This attraction will join the ranks of Marvel’s growing presence in Disney parks, becoming the second Marvel-themed roller coaster after the incredibly popular Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. The Spider-Man coaster will undoubtedly bring its own unique twists and thrills, solidifying Marvel’s place in the theme park universe.
More Than Just Rides
This new land isn’t just about the thrills—it’s about creating a fully immersive Spider-Man experience. Guests can look forward to themed shopping, dining, and entertainment that bring Spider-Man and his friends to life. Whether you’re grabbing a bite at a Spider-Man-themed restaurant or picking up exclusive Marvel merchandise, the land promises to extend the story and invite guests deeper into the world of the web-slinger.

Expanding Marvel Offerings Worldwide
This new Spider-Man-themed land is part of Disney’s larger effort to expand Marvel experiences across its parks worldwide. Shanghai Disneyland’s Spider-Man coaster will be the second Spider-Man attraction at a Disney park, following WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure.
But Shanghai isn’t the only park with Spidey news. During D23, Disney revealed concept art for a Spider-Man attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland, rumored to be a drop tower ride featuring Doc Ock. With these exciting additions, it’s clear that Disney is weaving a web of Marvel magic that spans the globe.

A New Neighbor to Zootopia
The Spider-Man-themed land will sit right next to Shanghai Disneyland’s new Zootopia expansion, creating a dynamic new area of the park. With Zootopia focusing on a bustling animal metropolis and Spider-Man delivering Marvel action, this corner of Shanghai Disneyland is set to become a Disney park favorite.
A New Era for Shanghai Disneyland
With leaders from Shanghai Disney Resort and shareholder representatives celebrating the groundbreaking, excitement for this expansion is building fast. As Spider-Man swings into Shanghai, he brings with him a new era of Marvel-inspired adventures that will undoubtedly capture the hearts of fans young and old.
