Lol... but it really does make a lot more sense! 🤞🏼

Been 4 years since my last visit and it's the one ride I'd overcome my fear of and simply loved it. Must've rode it 50 times in 2 weeks! If it is then I suppose it's as good a time as any to get over my fear of Rip Ride Rocket and Hulk and finally get on those bad boys

The Hulk is fab, smooth and fast, my fav ride.
RRR, done it loads of times but I am always slightly anxious and struggle to get my hands up for the photo. No idea why as it is a great ride

It briefly crossed my mind that this could be the time to try RRR too, but I have decided no and DH agrees with me. We don't think we could do it without over shoulder restraints.

We did Hulk for the first time last year, DH did it without me first of all and then practically insisted we both do it again right there and then. We did and I loved it, it is a very smooth ride and the restraints feel super robust and secure.

I actually find RRR better than the coasters with overhead restraints as my head rattles off the restraints. You’re very secure on RRR.

We, I have never seen anyone topple off it, so I kind of know it is secure. But after examining the test chair, we don’t think that we would feel secure. That is our dilemma.

Quite a rude way to put it, but I’m guessing the information has come from other sources (it is only rumour at this point based on a rides natural life cycle)
Rix Flix is a blogger that does tend to get very accurate information from Universal employees past and present, he’s not always right but mostly is. He did a vlog only a couple of days ago about it.
Plus there are facebook pages and other forums that are speculating about it.

Should be pointed out it's probably over due a refurb. Hollywood's version was refurbed in 2018 and opened a month later than the florida one.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was on the money.
