It is sad to see how many animatronics on MIB don't work properly anymore... The last bug hasn't moved that much in any ride I've ever had on it.

Is there still a single riders line for this and if so, is it open about as often as the other SRs?
I rode it yesterday and totally forgot that there even was onboard audio until we were back in the station.
From what I saw on the ride, no
Who would have thought a humans ears weren't located in their knees! Poor speaker placement during the refurbishment. Creative should have figured out a way to place them near or in the headrests.
Yeah I mean there's almost no point. The only time you can really hear it is in the launch tunnel and at the end. But I feel like it was louder last year. There's also already a lot of wear and tear in the tracks but I guess how long can you expect a fresh paint job to last on a ride being operational 12-13 hours a day 365 days a year
Yeah there's landscaping. The ride opened with desert themed landscaping.
Yup. The original plan fell through. Otherwise that would have made a lot more sense.
Yes. I was definitely hoping for more. Plus a less headbanging experience. A lost opportunity. So much spent, so little accomplished. Almost like a Disney Imagineering project in regards to cost vs. outcome.
That's disappointing. There's a few ways to look at all this:
1) You would assume that Disney would have something to say about it if they think this doesn't properly represent the Marvel brand.
2) Universal think this is perfectly acceptable.
3) If Dr Dooms goes and a new attraction is coming, are they going to retheme the back of the ride to fit the new attraction?

I think we're forgetting how bad of shape Hulk was before the refurbishment. Hulk 2.0 didn't live up to the original plans or our expectations, but the queue and overall experience is better.
At least we are not wondering if a footing will fail with a car on the track. The rest - yeah, I wanted a RnR experience but got the same old Hulk without the cool roar.
