Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Teebin]

I got word today from the oddest source in ohio that the entire track is going. This is going to look bizarre for a while. I won't be returning until it is running and making the same noise again. It completed the park soundtrack of adventure and energy.

With the amount of work, it could be tight getting this done by Spring Break. That's when I'd assume they want it done by

Ok, fun's over Universal, this isn't funny any more...



Somebody make them stop

I left Universal Monday and on I-75 saw 2 tractor trailers with
coaster track, I did not think it was for the hulk. It was purple
track with green trim. Now I am thinking it may well have been for the hulk.

It has to be!! I would second guess if it were just purple because that could be for mako at seaworld. But the green gives it away and that would mean the whole thing is going although now till June does not seem like enough time.

This is more a surprising move to me, wonder if they have some major changes for the track layout itself and not just the replacement.

But..the thought occurs..wasn't this said a few months back?

WOW...so they are rebuilding the entire coaster? I'm seriously impressed. Unless there was some safety concern that we are not aware of, this seems to be entirely un necessary.

I'd bet Hulk's reopening will attract crowds like it was a new attraction. That should be a strong 1-2 punch with Kong/Hulk for IOA summer 2016 attendance. Imagine the marketing billboards with Kong & Hulk next to each other.

Hulk is the strongest one there is. No amount of maintenance can prevent the wear & tear of 16 years on a track.

Memorial Day, not Spring Break. They want it up when Kong opens so the front of the park isn't a construction zone.

It'd be a lot better than the current WDW marketing billboards that's for sure..

so has there been any real news on exactly what they are doing?
New Layout (I hope not)
New Audio/Video systems inside the trains?
New type of harness?
Faster Launch?
Disco Hulk?

screamscape has video up now with not only the trains in the junk yard but also the track.

 

[Jwhee]

I have a hard time believing that the track is green and purple while everything else in green and black

 

[martymcflyy85]

I just want the blinking lights like Rockit. Those are so cool at night.

Regarding the track color, the Mako concept art seems to show purple and green track. I'm too lazy to go get it and post it here, but it sounds like the track that was spotted on a truck was more likely for that. I agree that we'll either see the same green color scheme, or green and black.

Mako ended up Mauve and aqua

I wish there was a way to make more of an indoor portion, especially at the end when you're going back into loading. That'd be a good spot to get some additional theming or story, kinda like the end of Mine Train with The Silly Song dancing scene.

I hadn't seen the actual track for Mako yet. This still matches the description from traveller's post. The aqua could have been mistaken for green easily when looking at it on a moving truck.

So with that being said lol...if this guy who said he seen track with purple mostly with green trim on i-75 is accurate..then that's for hulk folks. No other current coaster project in Florida has the same color scheme right now.
