I was sad to read that it had been taken down. But dyna is right. It's being refurbished and should be ready for next summer. It's too bad - I was thinking about taking a short trip to Florida this fall and was planning to visit Universal and ride Hulk Coaster.

For those who have never tried it, it's really cool for a lot of reasons. First, the queue was amazing. It looked like a mad scientists lab on steroids with lots of great sound and lots of videos showing the Hulk Origin, and a great soundtrack too.

The ride itself STARTS by going super-fast, straight up, and does so in an unexpected way. A lot of people preferred to be in front of the ride but I preferred riding it from the last car instead as it made the upward acceleration feel even more fun. The sound effects, lighting and countdown to launch really added a good scare to the ride too.

Once going, you did a really wild inverted loop, fall below ground, through water, and all kinds of other cool things. Like all coaster rides, it was too short, but it was crazy scary and crazy fun.

Here's hoping Hulk 2.0 will be twice as much fun!

I'm still pissed at Universal for removing Back to the Future: The Ride, and replacing it with The Simpsons. The Simpsons is a great ride too, but I *LOVED BTTF: The Ride. Still sad its gone.
