The future Spider-Man roller coaster is going vertical at Shanghai Disney Resort, with new photos shared from the construction site.
Spider-Man Coaster Goes Vertical
The upcoming Spider-Man land at Shanghai Disney Resort is now going vertical. With the Enchanted Storybook Castle visible in the background, crew members are assisting a crane as they move steel beams into place for the future Spider-Man-themed coaster. The Spider-Man area will be the park’s ninth themed land and third major expansion since its opening in 2016.
Another photo shared shows a look at the numerous poles that have already been but into place in preparation for more construction. Between the beams, there are also several crew members, equipment, and vehicles that can be seen. Disney calls the future attraction a “high-energy thrill coaster featuring Spider-Man,” and commented that this latest construction update is bringing “us one step closer to web-slinging adventures!”

Spider-Man Land at Shanghai Disney Resort
The new land officially broke ground with a ceremony held on the morning of Monday, May 19, 2025. Leaders from Shanghai Disney Resort and shareholder representatives were there to celebrate the groundbreaking on the new land, which will be located adjacent to Zootopia.
The land is set to feature the park’s first major Marvel-themed attraction — a roller coaster themed to Spider-Man, which was confirmed at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2024. The land will also include shopping, food and beverages, and entertainment.
While we do not have many details about the attraction, Disney Parks Blog shared the following description after its announcement at D23:
Peter Parker has gotten himself — and us — in a bit of a tight spot. We’re going to follow HIM – at very high speeds – to get us out of trouble.
