I think the point is Hulk ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Personally, I’d rather they give Toon Lagoon a trackless dark ride or “kiddy Mummy” sort of attraction.Exactly, the fact that they have not one, but two plots that can get them a showbuilding the size of some of the biggest at the resort is absolutely insane. Heck, without even removing the Coaster, but tightening up the last block, you could get an even bigger space, not that’s it’s necessary.
I always thought something like Cobra's Curse, but themed to Rocky & Bullwinkle would be fun.Personally, I’d rather they give Toon Lagoon a trackless dark ride or “kiddy Mummy” sort of attraction.
Early IOA concepts included a Rocky the Flying Squirrel coaster.I always thought something like Cobra's Curse, but themed to Rocky & Bullwinkle would be fun.
Honestly it would probably be themed to Minions haha
Am I the only one who 1) had no trouble with the on-ride audio and 2) thinks it sounds amazing and is a great value add? I'll give you the tunnel is less interesting now, but otherwise...
This is all considering Universal would still be planning a giant Marvel addition to be a given, which I would argue it very much isn't. Endgame was a full year ago already, and they've got a pretty stellar lineup of rides as is. The effort to expand would be better placed on Universal's own stagnating properties/lands than one already on indefinite borrowed time, regardless of how successful Marvel is.
I thought they were going to do the new restraints with Hulk, but they did notSpeaking of Hulk refurb, when can we expect the next one? Ha! The coaster's still rough as hell and now the launch sequence/musical score sucks. Only true upgrade was the entrance and queue area.

Hard disagree regarding the queue. Without my phone to entertain me, all I have are the minute-long videos playing on the monitors that get old real fast. At least the old cartoon that used to play lasted about 20 minutes.

Real talk, what's the half life on Marvel after End Game?I'm fairly confident in the future of the MCU but I think you hit the nail on the head by saying that MSHI already has a good line up and the popularity of the MCU also means that they don't really have to do anything. People will come to IOA for Marvel regardless.
Also putting this up as a major throwback to one of my first posts here:

It only slightly counts, but they're effectively the same vests from the B&M flying coasters by appearances, just a different seat on the other end.I'm not sure how I just noticed, but the Transformers version of Hulk in Beijing has the vest restraints
I would love those to come to Hulk...Anyone rode a B&M with them yet?
It seems the drop as well as the corkscrew before the second vertical loop are profiled differently from Hulk V2It only slightly counts, but they're effectively the same vests from the B&M flying coasters by appearances, just a different seat on the other end.
What intrigues me more is the Destructicoaster's reworked heartline- likely due to the 2.0 trains being wider with the vests. It's the same ol' Hulk with a modern twist.

Ah, I figured they would have looked into it at some point, thanksfrom what I understand, and I don’t remember where I saw/heard this, the vest restraints required the station/launch tube to be widened and it wasn’t in the budget for the IOA redo
