The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure takes you onto the streets of New York as our favourite webbed hero embarks on one of the most dangerous night's of his life.

The Sinister Syndicate have used Doctor Octopus' anti gravity cannon to steal the Statue of Liberty and The Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson has enlisted you to get the "scoop" on what's going on.

As you make your way around New York you might just see a familiar face. Just like in the MCU movies, Marvel legend Stan Lee also has a cameo in the attraction. In fact Stan Lee makes multiple appearances in the ride so keep a look out for him everywhere.

There's another tribute to Lee in Marvel Superhero Island. Just by the arcade you can see a sign indicating you are on Stan Lee Blvd. Fans even attached a rose to the sign as a memorial when the writer passed away.
