This amazing ride starts out in Bruce Banner's laboratory. He goes through with another attempt to get rid of his I like to call "gamma infection". Just like his other attempts it doesn't work but instead of watching it we get to ride his failure, but I assure you this is no failure of a ride.
This Bolliger & Mabillard made ride starts out with a bang after his failed attempt with a 0-40mph launch in 2 seconds up a 150 foot launch tunnel. At the top and opening of the tunnel the green cars fire right out at 40 mph and go through an intense zero-g roll before plummeting near the giant Islands of Adventure lake. At this point the ride has reached its top speed of a whopping 67 mph. After this point in the ride you are thrown into a giant cobra roll where it reaches its maximum height of 110 ft. After this The ride goes through another giant element the big loop and then dips under a misty bridge in a tunnel. After wrapping around the original purple and green tunnel your train goes through some serious twisted metal before hitting the final brake run and stopping in the station.

Great ride! fun launch(but not Aerosmith) and great elements throughout. The line needs a major re-theme though. 8/10. - David L.

The perfect coaster, in the perfect park. - nick stechman

This is my favourite theme park attraction in all of the theme parks I have ever visited. The first two seconds of this ride is unlike any other feeling. I love it. - Lisa K

A surprisingly smooth intense rollercoaster experience. The theme here is that somehow we have gained access into Bruce Banner's secret lab, where we intend to attempt to recreate the actident that turned him into the Hulk. The queue is loosely themed to a lab and there isn't much story to the ride, but that doesn't detract from the one-of-a-kind thrill that the ride creates. The 45 mph "lift-off/launch" is to die for. Don't miss it since it's the best coaster in IOA and Uni. 8.5/10 - Dan Huffman

It's a nice, smooth ride. The roaring sound plays on the intimidation factor, but the bark is worse than the bite. For some reason, they don't always play the little sound byte before the launch. This makes the take-off more unexpected than normal. - Taylor Lynn

Im not a huge Roller coaster fanatic as I prefer more unique rides like Harry Potter and Tower of Terror, but Hulk is the best bog standard rollercoaster in the world for me. Better than Dragon Challenge and Kraken et al - James McGee

Awosome ride the best rollercoaster on Orlando - Giovanny Cruz

Probably the best coaster in the world in our opinion. The launch is the best bit and sets the tone for an intense few minutes. Themeing in the queue is excellent. - Ben Price
