Dragon challenge is great but a bit of a bone rattler. Try to have a go on Rip Ride Rockit at Universal - it's awesome and looks more daunting than it is! Also try Revenge Of The Mummy for an absolute thriller!

Back to the Hulk - I can't ever imagine sections of track being replaced by parts manufactured by another company. Surely the work will be completed by B&M to ensure 100% compatibility?

I really wish people would stop freaking out and spreading false information XD
It is staying The Hulk, end of story people!
It is getting a full retracking, new trains, queue redo etc. The only thing i'm not sure of is if they are keeping the exact same track layout or not.

I'm not long back from Orlando and it was so sad not hearing the roar and the screams or being able to ride! But I know it'll be back next time I go
For people wondering about the date it will reopen, you'll be waiting a looooong time for anything specific on that

Saw this on facebook today
bizjournals/orlando/b...s-coaster.html
the bit that concerns me is where it states
which is getting a new storyline, ride vehicles and track designs
Sounds to me like they are building it as a new ride, perhaps (unless I'm reading too much into "track designs") dueling?

Sadly the hulk as we know it appears to have gone for good
I really hope I'm wrong but...

Time to start duelling again with the new security measures. It really is the ride and something I can still remember from 15 years ago!

Can't see the Hulk changing in track layout. Not ever sure how'd you improve it. I think getting rid of the square wheels would have been enough

Or for Gwazi, the square track

Smiling Sammie, just saw this and assume it was aimed at me. Just wanted to point out that I wasn't spreading false information as such, just that it was a strong rumour from screamscape so thought I'd bring it to the discussion. As it turns out it was later confirmed to be a false rumour, possibly as a way to search out a leak, which in itself is interesting as they look to be keeping something secret!
I am still eagerly anticipating exactly what they're doing with this ride as it is/was one of my favourites. Won't be going again until at least late 2017 so hopefully should all be finished by then!
