When the attraction opened, it was the most expensive ride ever built.

The attraction simulates a drop of 400 feet.

Each Scoop weighs 7-1/2 tons.

Each Scoop has 3 rows, each seating 4 people for a total of 12 passengers.

Each Scoop has 2 computers and 24 speakers. Originally, each Scoop had 3 computers, but new technology reduced the need.

The phone number (407) 224-1783 can be found in the ride on a closed Theater called the “Coup.” If you call the number, you'll actually hear a message about Dr. Octopus and Spider-Man.

The Coup theater façade in the attraction is a hidden reference to the ride’s production designer Thierry Coup.

After September 11th, the original queue line video (shown in the Bugle office segment of the queue) was removed. The video showed scenes of mayhem through the streets of New York - one segment in the video included a news helicopter crashing into a well-known New York skyscraper. The video has still yet to return.

Throughout the attraction, the Marvel hero Iron Man can be seen on billboards in the city skyline.

The attraction was directed by Universal Creative member Scott Trowbridge. Some voice talents include Christopher Daniel Barnes as Spider-man, and Edward Asner as J. Jonah Jameson.

The attraction's load platform is themed to be under New York City subway tracks. Periodically visitors can hear a subway train pass overhead.

A special material was used for the screens found in the attraction. The material was picked so that the image projected would look more realistic and prevent glare. Universal has yet to reveal what material the screens are made out of.
