Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[fryoj]

My problem with these restraints is that you can't put your hands up. I've also heard from other people saying that the vests are a bit tight and uncomfortable.

The first year at CP with Gatekeeper they had a problem with the vests ratcheting too tightly. Thats since been fixed, but a lot of people think its still the case.

The weird thing I've found with these restraints is that the rubber vest that goes over your chest feels very flexible and then it becomes tight and rigid against you but nothing seems to move or change. It just suddenly happens.

Will the new restraints be more fat guy compatible?

I think most of the rides with them have a row specifically designed larger.

 

[RevFreako]

I'm not that big, 320 at five ten, and the only size questionable rides I fit in are gringotts and the mummy...

Anybody know why they had to replace the support beams?

Beams supporting what? The pale gray supports? I would suppose it probably turned out to be not that much more expensive compared to the track. Uni just said go for it.

 

[Tylereapple]

Beams supporting what?

The track.

Ok...I have had cocktails with co-worker's tonight but if this sounds crazy Please weigh in...how will they able to place the track that wraps around the launch tube in place?? Could dismantling be the reason for the work inside of it? Or is it possible for a crane to place track underneath?

I think it's entirely possible for the track to be built under the tube no problem, the track is in pieces and the tube isn't really that wide. They They also would have used a crane when taking down the old track.

The first time when they built the helix and corkscrew, the launch tunnel wasn't built yet.

Why did they remove the green triangle pieces that were on the side of the tunnel at the top of the ride?

Because they won't be there in Hulk 2.0

 

[Knothead]

Let's just hope they fix the issue with the coolant levels. Seems like every time I rode, despite a voice telling me that it was going to work this time, the coolant levels dropped and the train went all haywire. They've had plenty of time during this refurb to get it right.

 

[Teebin]

I am still nervous that one of those new concrete tops will crack and slide from the old and the whole track will collapse. I do realize that my nervous is another person's exciting. :saywhat:

I suppose. Idk if you consider those triangle pieces theming but it added to the look of the tunnel. Correct me if im wrong but wasn't the tunnel just all purple at one point no green rings etc.?

The more perceived danger, the more thrill.
