Hong Kong Disneyland plans more Marvel-ous offerings with coming Spider-Man attraction
- City’s Disney resort hints Spidey to make big appearance fighting a major villain, after fan expo event unveils new offerings
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is set to expand its offerings of all things Marvel to include an attraction centred on Spider-Man, after a US executive with the entertainment giant dropped the reveal at an event in California.
While Disney has yet to announce an opening date, a construction timeline or any further concrete details about the attraction, a statement from the Hong Kong resort suggested the installation would focus on the web-slinging superhero.
“To ensure a better and brighter future for all mankind and the world, the most brilliant minds from the Avengers are working together and bringing new pavilions to the Stark Expo to showcase their most recent inventions and technologies,” the Hong Kong resort said in a statement on Sunday.
“Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man), the newest Stark Industries intern, is among one of them and will also be the host to demonstrate the latest breakthrough.”
The press release added that “one of the most formidable villains” would also make an appearance and guests would be “caught in the middle of the showdown”.
But the resort is not the only one getting a Spidey-themed attraction, with its sister site in Shanghai also set to offer another “high-energy thrill coaster” at its park.
The new installation at the Hong Kong park will be the third major addition to its Marvel-themed experience in the Tomorrowland section, which also includes new entertainment, shopping and dining offerings.
