Guess I hit a nerve in this thread..

How's the Air Conditioning working now? Is it improved from the first day?

The air conditioning works great. Especially when you get up to the load area.

That's excellent. Thanks for the update.:thumbsup:..Some of the first day reports on AC had left us hanging.

I rode it Tuesday. It was cooler there than it was in the single rider line at Kong.

After finally being able to hear the video before loading, I have to say it's not as disappointing as I thought. The storyline is basic but it does fit for what the attraction is as a whole. And that tunnel looks radioactive as hell!!

I'm sorry. I'm really sick of the headbanging comments. I've rode it like 10 times now and have sat in the front, middle and back. I have never once experienced anything remotely close to a head bang on this new version. What do you people ride it like a passive rag doll? It's a roller coaster! You have to ride it like it's a bad a$$ peice of machinery. Keep your head mildly pressed back into the head rest, lean a little into the turns, and anticipate the next element. I've never had any of the issues people are describing. This version is NOTICEABLY SMOOTHER, than the old version. That's a fact!

Very much hoping that this means they fixed whatever the issue was! Though to be clear, the issue I felt was not a headbanging as much as a jackhammering sort of effect.

I think the real bright side to look at is, OU got their first 'actual' media invite to a grand opening for Universal since how long?

Not to mention this ride wasn't even that rough before the refurb. If you've ridden a vekoma SLC, the headbanging on Hulk was not bad at all. It was tolerable. I even found Rip Ride Rockit to be rough, and that ride is far newer. I haven't ridden the new version, but I don't think this it could be any worse than the original Hulk, which wasn't even that bad. It was a much needed refurb, so i don't get the complaining.

This has to be one of the best posts I have seen in a long time... thank you.

You two seem to think alike!

Nope. This was a Passholder thing. Media was yesterday.

^^^^For the record, I had no problems with roughness for the old hulk! Even the last operating summer. It was an ocassional jerky spot here and there, rather than the distracting shaking through the whole course I experienced.

 

[JoeCamel]

Just got off. I rode in 2 left side and I can understand the headbanging. If you don't push back on the rest you will bang but with your head back it is a fun ride. Not the smoothest I have ever ridden but I am going back for a night ride in a few. Speakers will not last long the covers will break from feet. Express is open and I hit on the tail end of rain so I had 10 minutes in the queue. It is mildly interesting, should have more screens though. AC barely works, they need to crank that sucker up like it is a nuclear gamma blasting bad boy Ala MiB

That usually happens when your seat is over a bad or uneven wheel.

It doesn't help this has OSTRs which allows for head banging, while RRR is just lap bars.

Wow, how condescending.

Wow, how condescending.

It's an opinion. I wouldn't take it personally.

I had terrible problems on RRR with banging my head. I was so tense because of the lap bar I couldn't relax into the seat. Only rode it once, that was enough to complete my duty to my coaster crazy daughter.

Does the Hulk still have an express line?
