During an interview with Golem, a German-language website, Lee confirmed the fun inclusion while discussing the game’s world and what players can expect from the upcoming title.
During the interview, she explained some of the game’s new and improved features, including combat and web-swinging, and how the team wants “players to enjoy every moment, but also to complete the story.” Toward the end of the interview, she is asked about the future of open-world superhero titles and explained that the aim for Spider-Man 2 isn’t just to make a bigger game, but one that is more interactive and with more to see and do. With that, they mention the addition of Coney Island and reveal that players can ride the amusements found there as an example of this deeper, expanded world.
Whether or not you do this as Peter Parker, Miles Morales, or in their Spider costumes, or how they will work and what they entail remains to be seen, but it is an example of the lengths the team is going to make a truly immersive experience for players.

Plus, after a hard day of catching criminals, you might just want to unwind a bit and enjoy a ride or two.
