Doing all of the optional rides at Coney Island in Spider-Man 2 can seem like a bit of a waste of time, and it can be tempting to skip this task to progress with the story. Choosing to do or not do this task has no impact on the overall story, but we do recommend doing it if you have the time as it gives you a few sweet and comedic moments between the characters.

As you swing through the story in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, you can switch between playing as Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Two Spider-Men equals twice the crime-fighting fun, but a sinister plot is soon unveiled. As the crime fighting duo, it's up to you to save some unexpected victims of this plot.

Without further ado, we're here to explain if you should do the optional rides at Coney Island in Spider-Man 2 and the reward for choosing to do them.

How to do all optional rides at Coney Island in Spider-Man 2

While you're taking part in the 'A Second Chance' story mission in Spider-Man 2, you'll be at Coney Island as Peter with MJ and Harry! Here, you'll first be tasked with playing the Hydro Bench and after that you will be tasked with riding the Speed Demon.

However, before you ride the Speed Demon you have a chance to take part in several optional rides across Coney Island. If you complete all of the listed rides, you will get a snazzy prize. Stay away from Speed Demon - if you ride this then you will miss your chance to do the others.

You can locate the rides by looking for the icons with the blue outline on your screen:

  • Play Knock Em Down
  • Play Test Your Love
  • Ride The Flying Mantis
  • Ride the Octoride
  • Play the Hydra Head Hitter

Walk up to each attraction on the list and play/ride them to tick them off the list. When you've done all of them, you can collect your prize!

Rewards for doing all optional rides at Coney Island in Spider-Man 2
