I think they are still pouring footers on the front half of the ride. I'd think they'd have to give them a decent amount of cure time before mounting anything to them. End of Feb would be pushing it. Also, since they probably will only hang those pieces at night when guests aren't in the area, it should slow them down quite a bit. I think banshee took about 3 months to track after they got done with the lift. Granted thats a longer track and had to deal with worse weather, but they didn't have to deal with working around guests. I'd say 2 1/2 months for Hulk is a fair timeline. So mid to late March? But hey, every step of this thing has been unusual, so anything From February to April is on the table.

Disneyhead posted over at magic that it's an FX queue, whatever that entails.

Short for "Special Effects." I take that to mean using sfx like sound and light, maybe some projection tech. Not a physical, interactive queue or using animatronics/physical effects.

Maybe Mummy or Doom? I can't think of anything that uses sfx on a large, extensive scale in the queue off the top of my head.
EDIT: To be perfectly clear, I've not seen Disneyhead's post on Magic and am taking "FX queue" to mean using special effects as the main thing. It could mean something entirely different. Haven't really heard much on the queue, and what little I have has been very vague.

Wouldn't the Harry Potter queues be of the FX variety with the screens?
I guess you could class FJ like that, but I was excluding Gringotts because of the animatronics, although the motion platform in the lift would be a physical special effect.

Well I just really hope they go all out in this hulk redo. The attraction in the attraction is precisely why universal is my #1 park.
I wish someone would run in there and take some pics it's killing me lol.

And they better have AC or I'm gonna lose it! But I'll still be grinning from ear 2 ear I'm sure
I thought they were life vests., since they are working near the lagoon.
You never know when the Hulk might become violent.
Ah yes. It is so easy to forget that some people can't swim at all.
6' of water seems so piddly to my mind. It's hardly the high seas!
