I can't see why Universal would choose to put the test spot right there, I really doubt thats it.
Does anyone know when they changed the color of the supports from the silver metallic to light grey?
The supports have always been light gray. Here is a photo from 2001:

Actually they were silver
Theory: universal isn't putting any more money into marvel because of the Disney thing. When they do it'll be rethemeing the whole island.
Not going to happen, I doubt Universal will let Disney benefit by giving up the rights to use Marvel characters.
The reason the Hulk has not been painted (IMO) is Potter.
At first Potter was eating funds, now they probably don't want the ride to be down when/if people can't get in to HP, they want it open to keep the crowds occupied.
It needs to be done by Spring/Summer otherwise it will have be next year.
I agree that it should be happening right now. The Hulk should not have to wait until next year for any reason.Actually now would be the best time to paint it as the screamscape report says that there is plans the paint the incredible hulk this year.
I was just at the parks the past couple of days and I believe Hulk has gotten a new train as the train in question had huge white twist ties on each cart and it kept on cycling empty. Does anyone know more about a possible new train in the last couple of days.
