Well wouldn't the new supports and new track have been built to withstand the weight of the new trains? It's not like they're using old track with new trains.

While that could be the case, I would say that still you need to go through clearance checks again; and checking if there are any faults with the new trains and the Launch motors (vice versa with the brakes).
All in all, its a guess; but usually with a big coaster like Hulk; you want to make sure that the end result doesn't have any glitches.

Well that would be smart, because it's going to be some pissed people if he breaks down for any extended period of time after people have mapped their whole vacation around it. I've already started making plans for seaworld because my dates are June 11-15 and if mako opens on the 10th and both are b&m, I do not think hulk is opening until late june/july.

They "removed" summer a bit ago. Last I've heard it'll be ready for summer, but with days to spare.

Any time between June 20 and September 22 fits the "summer" generality. So maybe even September!

Doesn't bother me any, would much prefer September anyways that way I can go when it isn't slammed.Any time between June 20 and September 22 fits the "summer" generality. So maybe even September!
I think that's the real question here. It looks like work on the queue has only started fairly recently so it could also be poor planning.
To be fair, they have lots of irons in the fire right now. Kong was likely priority.
I was going to mention that. They've got crew working at Kong, Volcano Bay, F&F and Fallon plus Cabana Bay and Sapphire Falls.
I'm going to guess that gaining approval from Marvel about the changes to the attraction are the main culprit here.
Isn't that something you would seek before tearing the coaster apart and rebuilding it?
That was going to have to happen anyway, it sounds like. The queue could have stayed mostly the same.

Unless you have insider knowledge, I don't think this would have anything to do with it. They wouldn't have started gutting the queu with out approval and I'm sure approval would have been can we do this? Yes or no.
Guys, remember, Marvel, like JKR, has final say. Even if they got an okay to do X, but X doesn't end up matching the quality expected, X has to be redone.
