'''The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man''' is a 3DMovie and dark ride hybrid at [[UniversalStudios Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Japan]]. The ride follows Spider-Man and his attempts to stop the evil Sinister Syndicate, led by Doctor Octopus, in their attempt to take over the entire city. J. Jonah Jameson, seeing an advantage in this, sends the guests out in the Daily Bugle's new "SCOOP" vehicles to take pictures of what's going on. From there, things get rather...chaotic, to say the least.
