The new Spider-Man Coaster coming to Shanghai Disney is going through a HUGE part of the testing process right now, one that will take Imagineers through each millimeter of the attraction.

Yes, you heard us right: every millimeter! This is called Push-Pull testing, and let’s see exactly what this means and what it tests on the attraction.
Walt Disney Imagineering just posted a video to Instagram detailing the very complicated Push-Pull testing currently underway at the Spider-Man Coaster. This is a test where the vehicle is taken through the entire track millimeter by millimeter, with the vehicle moving at one centimeter per second. While the Imagineers take all sorts of measurements to make sure all the clearance is correct and the attraction follows safety measures.

This is also the time when the Clearance Envelope is placed around the attraction. These are three large barriers that go around the ride vehicle and represent the area the guests take up. This is used so that if part of the ride touches the Clearance Envelope, Imagineers know adjustments need to be made.

This is an extremely slow process; they shared that traveling just 15 meters of the ride took them eight hours of work, but it is an important step in ensuring the safety of guests. As they explained, “With great power comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes Push-Pull testing!”
