Theme park-goers first spotted the change on December 26, when X user @Cave0fWonders shared that the attraction’s signature 3‑D “web vision” glasses had been removed for the day. A sign placed outside the entrance informed visitors: “Exceptionally today, the web vision glasses won’t be needed.”

The Spider‑Man ride — part of the Avengers Campus expansion that opened in Paris in 2022 — normally relies on 3‑D visuals and motion‑tracking tech to let riders sling virtual webs alongside Peter Parker. Similar adjustments have been reported at other Disney parks in recent years as the company continues to test operational changes across its Marvel attractions.

Disney has not issued an official explanation for the temporary switch, leaving fans to speculate whether the move was part of routine maintenance, a technical issue, or an early trial for a potential update to the ride experience.
