Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Ryan]

They might be re-opening the actual entrance today.

Ah, that must be it!

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

Ah, that must be it!

Storm Force has been using its regular entrance since the walls came down revealing the statue and new lockers. So maybe 2-3 weeks now.

 

[Ryan]

Oh. Well. Huh.

Either way more Hulk walls are coming down.

 

[The_Bled]

Any pictures at all?

Crickets. :-( I'm assuming that means no news?

 

[LoganCoaster]

I haven't been updated on any new announcements concerning Hulk. When we get our team member preview email I will let you guys know. There's no talk of soft openings as of today though. Just a FYI for the rumors floating around

 

[Yabbadabba Doh]

Here's a terrifying rumour for you, it seems to have come from The Dibb (though it might have been mentioned somewhere here a while ago). Soft opening from August 10th, for hotel guests only. Apparently the room key will act as the pass to get into the queue.

I don't know how true this all is, but man would be I be annoyed if Universal go ahead with it.

Not terrifying for me... more like terrific :clap:Just booked a trip to Uni starting on the 13th at CB

Alexshow posted a newer construction update so I deleted this one.

 

[Viator]

A more up to date update is available from Midway Mayhem actually..

 

[Blaw923]

Definitely something going on in that mysterious launch tunnel......

 

[Qpido80]

Yeah. Just hoped it was people getting in trains...
Is it just me or are there not many people working on the project at the same time?

I mean... I would imagine seeing tons of workers all doing their best to get this finished and get the show on the road. It just seems so quiet. Or are there 200 people working at night? At this rate it will be Christmass.
In The Netherlands we say: let's get angry at it and finish this in a day or two.

You would think Universal wants this up and running as fast as they can. Lots of people are in for summervacation now.

Maybe someone can explain this to me.

Work is going on inside the building. Lots of sweat, ACs aren't installed yet.

I think any construction left to do is all on the interior of the queue / ride building so we can't physically see anything happening anymore. Similar to when Jimmy Fallon's exterior will be complete, all construction updates will basically cease until ride opening.

I went yesterday and some of the wall was pushed back so the side of the hulk entrance is part of the wall. Nothing else has changed. I would avoid the parks it was insanely busy yesterday.

They really need the hulk open. I think a lot of Disney fans are trying out Uni this year, that closed ride is pushing up wait times.

 

[The_Bled]

I'm sorry, but I think if universal really cared, they would've put this ride down at the end of last summer. In order for it to be ready for this summer. That's just my thought.

Lines at IOA for this time of year are about the same as they were when the Hulk was running. Keep in mind that Kong has siphoned off some of the line crowd.

Ok. But I'd say that is a days work if you put 30 people on the job. But if 2 people are on that, it's weeks. Like I say, I cannot look into the building, but I hope there are lots of people at work in there, and not like 5.

But, less to do at Uni side. Pushes people into Islands, where a big people eater is down. New hotel opened and BOOKED solid. Disney people trying Uni this year because of the ride closures at Disneyworld. You have a perfect storm of crowds building.
