The jaw-dropping Spider-Man “stuntronic” robot that gracefully somersaults through the air above Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure will add more performances to his busy crime fighting schedule just in time for the kickoff of the Christmas holiday season.
Spider-Man will fly through the skies in Avengers Campus even more times throughout the day starting Nov. 17, according to Disneyland officials.

Based on guest feedback, Disney California Adventure will add more opportunities for Spider-Man to meet with fans, according to Disneyland officials.
The autonomous audio-animatronic stunt robot in a Spider-Man suit developed by Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development as part of the Stuntronics Project is capable of performing aerial somersaults and backflips 65 feet in the air.
Imagineering’s stuntronic robots can fly through the air, strike aerial poses and calculate trajectories to hit a prescribed target using on-board hardware. The stuntronic robots use accelerometers, gyroscopes and laser range finders to rotate in midair and perform aerial tricks after being slung from a wire.

The stuntronic aerial acrobatics performance at DCA’s Avengers Campus comes during the middle of a stunt show where a Spider-Man character leaps and tumbles across the rooftop while bantering with the crowd below. After the stuntronic flight, the Spidey character climbs down a brick wall to the ground for a meet-and-greet session with visitors.
Disneyland will kick off the Christmas holiday season on Nov. 15 with the “Believe … In Holiday Magic” fireworks show and A Christmas Fantasy parade at Disneyland, “World of Color – Season of Light” water show at Disney California Adventure and the debut of the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure water ride in the rethemed Bayou Country.
Media reports of the Spider-Man stuntronic show closing in November due to budget cuts have proven unfounded.
