Not sure if Sea World really does softs, so I imagine both of these could soft open before those grand opening dates.
They do. Usually 2-3 weeks beforehand. Easier for roller coaster to do softs because they're pretty cut and dry.

Even though both circuits were complete within a few days of each other, I think Mako is quite a bit ahead of Hulk. The Hulk is a bit more complex with the launch and I'm sure the queue will require a bit more work for Hulk too.
Does anybody know if the trains have arrived yet for Hulk?
I also don't imagine that Universal want to open Hulk too close to Kong opening.

I thought Mako completed the circuit at least a week if not two weeks before Hulk. But then again my memory is not the best this past week, darn headache that won't go away.
They'll want Hulk open as close to Kong as possible to give more capacity in the park for the bigger crowds coming.
I think hulk will re-open before Kong opens, that looks set for June 23 so I'd guess hulk will open (at least for softs and possibly full Year) before then

Yep, Kong will be way before Hulk. Hulk hasn't even had the new trains delivered and the inside isn't even done yet.No way Hulk soft opens before Kong. Kong is way more ready to go than Hulk is. Hulk is still under construction and Kong is testing with multiple RVs.

Possibly, but I think with Hulks new onboard audio and queu, it will take a little longer than a normal coaster to get open IMO, but you're probably right.I don't think anyone expects Hulk's soft opens to start before Kong's soft open. I think what several of us have been trying to say is that Hulk may open before Kong's grand opening. Because of the complexities with the ride system, Kong will need an extended soft open time. Hulk, being a coaster, will not.
Any ideas why this project is decidedly more secretive than kong? Will be interesting to see what these new trains are like and what sort of launch mechanism we are getting. Also those small attachments on the supports sure seem like the ones used for trim brakes on mako, nice find Scott. But the fact they are on the cobra roll is a bit odd for sure.
I highly doubt that. Hulk should be ready no later than 2-3 months from now.Plausible..but I heard a crappy rumor today that hulk wasn't opening up until september guys. I do know that even park employees aren't 100% informed, but this one whom i have known for a while now seemed pretty adamant. I sure hope not.
