Enhanced 'The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man' ride to reopen on March 8 at Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando Resort has announced the reopening date of the newly-upgraded version of their popular “The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man” ride at Islands of Adventure. Thursday, March 8, 2012, will be the debut of the ride’s new 4K digital high-definition animation, a new musical score, and new 3-D “Spider-Vision” glasses.
