Calling all aspiring superheroes! The newAvengers Campuslocated at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, Calif., was made just for you.
The all-new theme park landofficially openedon June 4 and the main attraction just so happens to be the interactive Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure ride.

Thankfully, the superhero soon appeared and requested our help. “Everyone head to the slingers and we will team up to stop the Spider-bots before they destroy the campus,” Spider-Man urged, calling us all into action.
Large doors then cracked opened and we were handed 3-D glasses as we boarded a four-seated vehicle. Once on theinteractive high-tech ride, we used our newly-acquired hand gestures to throw virtual webs in an effort to hit the robotic spiders. The ride uses gesture-recognition technology and 3-D imaging to make it look and feel like we were really hitting the spider-bots. While we may have looked silly frantically swinging our arms around pretending to shoot webs, it really did get our adrenaline pumping and was a ton of fun.
There’s also a score board inside the ride where we were able to see our points increase as we hit more targets. If you want to get even more serious about your points, Disney sells a Web Tech Power Band for $29.99 at a store right across from the ride that is designed to help increase your web-shooting ability.

The ride is for all ages with no height requirement and while it is in the dark and noticeably loud, it never goes too fast.
Overall, Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure is basically like being on any other cool ride at Disneyland while simultaneously playing a video game. Needless to say, my son required we ride it three times in a row.
