Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Teebin]

And now I just watched the roller coaster scene in Final Destination 3 for the first time. Friggin eeeep!

I am still nervous that one of those new concrete tops will crack and slide from the old and the whole track will collapse. I do realize that my nervous is another person's exciting. :saywhat:

Not gonna lie, I don't know if you are serious but I'm nervous seriously. I just don't feel right about seeing how those footers looked mid construction all tore up.

Why did they remove the green triangle pieces that were on the side of the tunnel at the top of the ride?

They're removing it for something that's all I know..........:wink::wink::wink:

To allow the cranes in to attach the track?..

 

[Jwhee]

AFAIK, those green triangles will not be returning. Expect some other type of thematic elements.

I don't know..but I think February is a bit early for something so simple to be focused on.

Ohhhh.. Sounds like lazers to me... Everything is better with lasers?

I don't know, just ask 09 Universal.

Yeah, thats what I'm talking about. See how much fun it adds to the ride!

I just posted this video on my FB and a friend commented "Do you know this ride has closed now" - LMAO... really, REALLY?? No I didn't know, I thought it was weird that the wizarding world was there and jaws wasn't in 2014....

Another site commented on the wall signs being changed from Summer 2016 to "Opening 2016". Any reason for this change that anyone knows?

I didn't notice on my last trip but certainly will look next time I am up crowds permitting.

If that's true it probably signals it'll be reopening mid to late spring. Just a guess on my part. They surely could use the capacity.

I'm still hoping this and Kong launch simultaneously. How often do parks open multiple attractions (that aren't in the same land, of course) at once? (This is actually a legit question, I'm not sure.)

 

[Teebin]

I think maybe marketing and operations doesn't want everyone cancelling or delaying their vacations to a specific time. Perhaps the resorts are completely booked for spring but they want people to be thinking a bit later now. That said, I know nothing about progress of this attraction.

Opening teams for Kong and Hulk were hired at the same time and assigned high guest interest venues to staff through spring break. They were both told there would be more information given in April on start dates at the venues.

@ bioreconstruct says these are protective panels for the concrete? Why is this needed?

Tire tracks.

 

[devinp267]

Tire tracks.

That's all? Just so they won't leave tire tracks?

 

[epcyclopedia]

I'd say it probably has more to do with the forklift tines. During normal operation a jeglift drives out there so they can check the track. If they don't want tire marks the companies make big giant wheel cover bags. We used them all the time installing Christmas trees at Disney.

OK..this is just new to me.
