About Incredible Hulk Coaster

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. -- Last edited by Nicholas Kalscheuer

I would love this ride if it wasn't so rough. It rattles you all the way, so that I feel like I might pass out. I always come off it with a headache. I think this coaster has a terrific design, but it needs a refurb. It's just too rough. - Sylvain Comeau

This one is a consistently great ride with lots of turns and thrills. Being launched from the initial tunnel gets me every time. Reminds me of a much, much smoother Ninja (SFOG). - Christian Baggett

One of the very best coasters you will ever ride on. Don't miss it. - Mark Moore

Hulk is an amazing roller coaster. FYI – the trains are not launched electro magnetically. There are nearly 130 pairs of feed motors that propel the trains up and out of the launch tube. - Rob McCullough

This ride is awsome. This was my first upside down roller coaster. 10/10 - Kyle K

This coaster is fantastic. The queue line is kind of dull and often at times will make you hope you are getting closer to loading dock. Here is a fair warning though. While most coasters, the last rows are usually the best for thrill seekers. DO NOT RIDE THIS RIDE IN THE LAST ROWS. This ride is awful for that and you will definately hit your head agaisnt the head rest if you do. The front row is well worth the wait and the first couple of rows are just as good. But like I said, the middle to end is pretty uncomfortable and you will more often than have your head fly back into the head rest. As for the ride, the launch is better than Mummy's and the ride from beginning to end is full of thrills. Always hit up this ride as the first ride of your day, because usually tourist will start at the back , and the only time you will get a chance to ride any ride at both Marvel Island or Toon Lagoon without wait times exceeding 60 is in the morning. After that its 60-120 mins always - Chris Shafer

Everything works good...I think....Warning!!! Warning Fantastic ride... - Patrick Wegner

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is an outstanding an amazing ride that shoots out of the tunnel at speeds up to 40mph and reaches a maximum speed of 67mph - tyler bell

if you get there early, the front row line is remarkably shorter than the regular line, and definitely worth it. everything about this ride is amazing, especially the launch in the beginning. and if you ride it at night, the launch is even more thrilling. plus, you can see all the beautiful lights and sights of the rest of the park. - liz corso

This coaster is fantastic. I have never gotten to see the regular queue however. We have always stayed on property and used our room keys as Express passes. You go straight to the bottom of the stairs that lead to the loading platform. Express Pass holders do not get front car access. The coaster actually "roars" and can be heard from a half mile away. This feature was built in using special track with slots in it to let the sound escape. The launch system is said to use so much power, if it was hooked into Florida's power grid, all the lights would dim everytime it launched. This ride gets a 9/10 - Noel Blackman
