Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man Ripoff?

RollingBoulder · 03-31-2006, 01:15 AM

I was looking at the Busch Gardens Williamsburg site and I saw this ride called Curse of DarKastle. Seeing pictures and the short video of it, it looks amazingly (ha!) similar to Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure, just with a different theme. Has anyone been on this or know anything more about it?

It certainly looks similar but the guests were talking about a drop. Spiderman has no drop, except for the scene that makes you think you're falling off a building. I think the best part is that it has a totally original story! No movie-basing for it!

^ Yeah, I wonder if they are just talking about a sensory drop, as opposed to an actual one. Who knows.

Oh yeah thats a sweet rip off. But I dont think the effects on this ride are as innovative as Spiderman. Like when you get the falling effect on spiderman and the buildings are passing you. That is awesome.

^That Spiderman ride is incredible. I don't think Curse ride is quite like it, because Spiderman is like IJA+ToT+HiStA. Wowee.

It's hard to tell what effects the ride has on that site. Have you been on it before?

Well Kinda. I was at Busch Gardens when they were building it and all the employee's told us was that it was like a ride and a 3d movie mixed. I officially hate all theme park workers.
