Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

I miss on ride storage. Put it under the seat cushion and call it a day..

I miss the cages to the side. I loved the simplicity of it.

There have been times where the congestion in FJ just make me want to leave.

I go to parks with as little accessories as possible down because of my FJ experience.

I wonder if you still have to go to a specific machine or if they will have several stations in each section and you can go to any. Because that is the annoying part, the station I have to go to is the one with the longest line.

I've noticed they have been testing the coaster without the water dummies in the seats. Is there a required amount of time needed with the water dummies and once that is met they just run the train without anything in it?

There are multiple phases of cycles that must be done, sometimes called payload cycles. Usually they go through all of them a few times as they fine tune break runs and what not.

Hi everyone. I'm a reader, not a poster most of the time. Was just wondering, could this be true?? Hope so! See my link above.

Does Universal give out information, then link to websites on forums to build anticipation?? I hope so :shrug:

Touring plans had july 2 as the date for a while.. but who knows.. that date seems plausable.. damn.. I was there 1 month too early well at least we got on kong

First time I've seen a hard reopening date (July22, 2016) . Is TP just guessing or do they have secret info? I think they're guessing, which isn't a good idea since it misleads.

Doesn't that one guy who runs the site post here? Maybe he can clear it up for us.

Seth Kubersky? He writes for TP.

I thought Universal stays away from hard opening dates since they missed the date for Diagan Alley?

That's not really the way it works. They have a ready date and then if they miss it, they work things really hard to make it ready. If that keeps up, then they delay, and then there might be a national tragedy and that would cease any plans they might have had. It's quite complicated at times.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to be their style. Don't know why TP is throwing those dates out there like that. People pay for info on that site and sometimes center their vacation around stuff opening.

I think he's talking about announced advertised opening dates, not internal dates.

Probably not, I think @Skubersky can speak more about that.

Hmmm... I am not sure about this. Potter was a different kettle of fish. While Kong appears to have allure, it ain't Potter. And I am not a Potter fanatic so I ain't overstating things. Diagon merely didn't want another Hogsmeade. That said, they certainly didn't have a hope of it being a choice because of Gringotts.

And they don't have to worry about breakdowns on Kong. The today show will edit it all nice nice before airing. It will look like $150 million bucks.

I more meant that they don't announce hard opening dates to the general public. Internal dates might happen, but they seem to keep that information from the general public

Someone should ask them where they are getting their information. Seems kinda lame to give potentially false information on a pay to access vacation site.
