Universal IOA | Incredible Hulk | B&M Retrack

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

I was more recently under the impression from the latter news pieces that all of it was going to be replaced (but it would still be B&M track replacing it).

Wonder how long it will be til we see new things being added. They seem to be working quite fast.

I think it's safe to say the whole thing is gonna be removed and done from fresh if they're starting on the cobra roll too.

Has there been any reports of supports coming down too, or is it just track?

^There are indeed supports in the scrap yard.

I'm tying my self to the zero g roll so that they don't demolish it.

Will agree. One of the best Zero G rolls out there. (I think that's partially because you're coming from a launch into that sudden deceleration.

I read on another page that the supports are down on the back half of the coaster but not the first half. So the speculation is that the first half will remain the same but the ending will be different.

Sure....Not sure if we can survive for 6 months, but I'll do it!

Our very own CP6 posted this to Facebook the other day:

To confirm, they are getting rid of all the things.

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

That just looks bizarre ha.

I'm wondering if the whole thing is changing vastly? Maybe even flourless, or dare I say it... wing coaster? If they're literally removing everything, it wouldn't surprise me if they change the layout slightly and even coaster type (yeah, don't say 'the tunnel won't permit the width of a wing rider' etc., they're more than likely removing that and doing that again too.

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

At this point, anything is up for grabs.

... Aquatrax?

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

So basically if they change a bit of the layout, it's a new credit right?

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

If it's a 100% track redo, I'd say new credit.

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

My worry is that they're gonna completely take away it's intensity and the 'snaps' that good old B&M's used to have.

 

[Martyn B]

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

^ IMO that's a worthy compromise, given how it now won't have that old school B&M grind.

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

It's so weird seeing it this way! And yh, totally a new cred <3

 

[Jordanovichy]

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

yeah, I'd say new cred <3 I really can't wait to see what else they do to this, so would this make Hulk the first defunct B&M then? That's good because I've got the cred...so I am still on track to ride every single one before they get scrapped...woo

:drinking: :drinking:

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

^This is the first scrapped B&M. Everything else that is closed by B&M is under construction, or is relocated.

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements

My parents are at IOA this week and asked them for a picture of what Hulk looks like. They said everything was gone except the launch.
