Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

Any known reason for the color sticking out like a sore thumb?

If Universal Creative designed cars.

If Universal Creative designed cars.

And this would probably be how WDI would design a car.

If Universal Creative designed cars.

With fancy doors like a lamborghini.

With fancy doors like a lamborghini.

The doors of a billionaire.

New designer sees old design, thinks he can do better. Fails.

That's like 90% of the decision making process anytime an old project is touched by a new team.

My comment after seeing the netting: "Uh oh, someone washed the old nets with the jeans"

Why do they need nets at all anymore? If everyone goes through metal detection before getting on, that should have eliminated the falling loose articles issue.

Legal. If someone gets through with something (for instance, I still ride with my wallet), it falls, there's no net and happens to hit someone? That person has an incredibly easy case. Not only did Uni not do their job and prevent the object from going through, but they also didn't provide an insurance policy.

Actually, that's more of a Cedar Fair color. This is a Disney car:


Everything is half-finished or takes forever to build. I say that while also already planning my next trip to WDW, including Universal.

people just don't follow the rules. Just two weeks ago the California screaming ride E Stopped cause someone thought the NO SELFY stick rule didn't apply to them.

Also, you could have something non-metallic in your pocket, or something metallic that was not detected,

This podcast they discuss the new Hulk coaster.

They do talk about how the story doesn't really make sense and prefer the old story to the new.

They also say Gamma-fition wouldn't sound as stupid as Hulf-if-ction.

Let's try and stop the Hulk by creating more. :bang:

I didn't know they had a podcast, this looks promising.

So, after listening to the podcast and reading lots of tweets, blog posts, and forum discussions...

Am I the only one that thinks Hulk is going to be in the new story? I'm hoping to hear his voice at the last minute at the launch tunnel trying to warn us not to go through with it, or he could break into the queue video feed in an effort to get us to turn back (ala T2:3D). Or maybe we could see red flashing lights and emergency sirens saying there's been a breach near the end of the queue and we see Hulk on surveillance monitors breaking into the complex to shut it down.

Ain't no way they ain't gonna have Hulk in the Hulk ride. Just because the premise of the new story is that Ross wants to turn civilians into gamma-radiated super soldiers, does not mean everything will go as planned... When does everything go as planned at a theme park attraction?

EDIT: And I love the OI Podcast. Been listening since they started and it was super cool to meet everyone at their last meetup. Unfortunately I can't make it to their next meetup this weekend at Diagon. Had prior plans.

Hopefully he does make an appearance. It is called The Hulk Coaster.

It's def a good podcast and informative. I will say, the main host Mike Wallace is quite possibly the biggest wimp I've ever heard.

More if its true; as its seeming to develop, but Hulk may of began its testings tonight.

EDIT: From Reddit user Kmac2112 from earlier. Take it with a grain of salt, of-course; but this is one of the sources.

I was outside of Islands of Adventure tonight around 9:30 and heard a familiar sound. I looked towards the hulk track and saw them testing ride vehicles. There was a security guard near the entrance telling us not to take photo or video, but I can tell you that the LED headlights on the new ride vehicles were on and looked great! Unfortunately, the classic roar of the ride was not as loud as I remember, but I didn't see any water jug test dummies in the seats so the vehicle may not be as heavy and thus not as loud.

Hatetofly just posted on Twitter that Hulk is testing.
