The Hulk is an amazing roller coaster and truly a one-of-a-kind ride. The banging’s not unforgivable, but definitely noticeable. These tighter inversions supply a little head bang. Even B&M’s loopers are usually very smooth and forgiving. The back half is also uncharacteristically rough for a Bolliger & Mabillard coaster. While I’m glad that the ride doesn’t just end after the incredible opening sequence, the second half seems crammed and a lot less interesting than the first half. Then they drop down and into the final inversion, another corkscrew, and after a few more turns you hit the station brakes. After a few more turns riders are pulled into the brake run as they pass through the previous loop. Immediately after the helix the train enters a quick corkscrew, then a smaller tighter vertical loop that wraps around an upcoming brake run. The trains dives into an underground mist filled tunnel, flies back up and does a sweeping helix around the enclosed lift hill.įrom here on, Hulk loses its great pacing. Next, the train enters a massive vertical loop. After the roll, the train plummets back down towards the lake and then back up into a super-sized cobra roll (seen here) offering two more high altitude inversions. This is easily one of my favorite all-time inversions. 40 miles per hour is nothing extreme, but riding through the long tube, up into the light of day only to be spun upside down by a zero-g roll over 100′ in the air is unbelievable. First, riders are launched 0 to 40 mph (via a tire propelled launch system) up the enclosed lift hill. Hulk has one of the best opening sequences I’ve ever experienced. Riders climb aboard the suped up, comfortable, four across trains in anticipation of an unforgettable ride. The station is a futuristic gamma radiation chamber responsible for turning Bruce Banner into the Hulk. The experience starts with the pre-ride theming of the queue made to look like a scientific facility straight from the comic book.
Hulk is perfectly integrated into the walking paths and spectators are frozen in their tracks as they pass under the marvel. The layout is right on top of the park, but not to its detriment. Hulk’s enclosed lift hill and massive cobra roll and vertical loops dominate the skyline at Islands of Adventure. The twisted mess of bright green track is built partially over the park’s lake. Islands of Adventure’s Incredible Hulk is one of the best looking coasters you’ll find anywhere. Islands of Adventure’s Hulk Coaster is Incredible
