Universal Orlando reveal relaunch details for the Incredible Hulk Coaster

[Stu]

Universal Blog has released full details for the relaunch of the Incredible Hulk Coaster with a new story line, a brand new ride vehicle, a new queue experience and a new entrance to this fan favourite.

Now scheduled to re-open in late summer about the only things fans will fully recognise will be the world-famous twists and turns of the ride track.





Massive New Marquee
From the moment you walk up to the beloved coaster, you’ll see the huge changes that were made to the attraction. As you enter the ride, you’ll pass underneath a towering figure of The Hulk, using his colossal strength to hold up pieces of the coaster’s track. And fun fact, these track pieces were salvaged from the original ride.



New, Original Storyline
General Thaddeus Ross is calling for volunteers for a new experiment. Your only warning is that you’ll be subjected to high levels of gamma radiation through a process called Hulk-a-fication – a potentially life-altering process first introduced by Dr. Bruce Banner.

The end result is said to give subjects magnificent strength and a forceful amount of energy. Will you emerge as the military’s next super soldier…or something else entirely?



Completely Redesigned Queue
Your part of the story begins the moment you enter the building – which has been redesigned as a state-of-the-art military research compound, commanded by General Ross.

Inside, General Ross is conducting an array of questionable, bio-radiological experiments. You’ll pass by laboratories containing high-tech equipment his team uses to execute his mysterious tests.

Next, you’ll arrive at the Gamma core – an intense energy source that sends pulsing waves of radiation upward to fuel General Ross’s experiment. Not to worry – a thick pane of glass will protect you from direct exposure to the radioactive core.

As you move along, you’ll witness the transformation of your predecessors as they undergo the perilous Hulk-a-fication process.




Finally, you’ll be rushed to a loading platform, sparking with electric bursts as the Gamma accelerator powers up to blast you with superhuman strength. Prepare for the ride of your life…



Totally New Ride Vehicle
From there, you’ll step into an entirely new ride vehicle. The changes start with its sleek, modern new look. Once on board, you’ll discover a brand new, in-seat audio system that booms an original ride score created by Patrick Stump, front man for the internationally-renowned rock band Fall Out Boy.

The next thing you know, you’re rocketing through a new launch tunnel, packed with amazing special effects, as you’re propelled out over Marvel Super Hero Island with super-human force.

It’s the ride you love, but not like you’ve ever known it before. Stay tuned here for all the details. And I’ll see you in late summer on The Incredible Hulk Coaster!

Those cars look amazing! Everything about it looks really impressive - love the idea of the on-board audio and keeping a section of the original track at the entrance!

Can't wait to ride in November!

I think I'm in love. The new queue line looks amazing, and as for the cars...wow. I can't wait to hear what the soundtrack is, but I definitely think that it'll add to the ride having a soundtrack pumping out whilst riding. Cannot wait to ride this!

Not sure about the music being pumped into my ears. Always enjoyed just hearing the screams and roar of the track underneath me.

I think in all honesty this ride will be too much for me... any chance there will be a duck out option so I can see the theming in the queue without having to ride the ride do you think?
