Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[OLSinFLA]

I'll always remember one instructor I had for the way he hinted at over designing. He would tell stories like how much the US spent to design an ink pen that would work in zero gravity while the Russians just took a box of pencils into space.

Back then, I think red was the only light emitting diode that was cost effective to make and he said that the Japanese figured that could put a cheap colored plastic cap over the diode to change the color...I do not know if any of that was true, but he got his point across to me anyway.

Apparently your instructor never read snopes.com lol
NASA Space Pen : snopes.com

I figured it was an exaggerated story, but it made a good point...in his defense though, there was no .com back then

[Gillman]

Don't forget the coaster car. Unless that got cut.

He looked impressive when I saw him from back of Dr. Doom, looks like I'll have a reason to come back soon

Ah yes, I forgot that will be part of the statue, now I'm more excited

have they given a date for opening yet?

They have not. There isn't even a date for Kong yet.

 

[JoeCamel]

We don't need no stink'in dates we just ride the softs!

This seems like another universal attraction with lighting that will look outstanding at night. Only a matter of time before extended nighttime hours in a consistent basis. Maybe when VB opens

Disappointed they didn't update the launch system when they did all this other work. I guess they decided the tire drive was good enough and they didn't want to dismantle the tunnel to change things out. I did get some insights on the new effects in the launch tunnel though and it sounds awesome.

Thanks for that confirmation, I thought that was how it would be but I still see people talking about a change to the launch system. I saw the flywheel building was still back there and painted so it seems there are no changes.

 

[GAcoaster]

Yeah, I had heard it was changed and then got the confirmation yesterday it wasn't... :/

I'm hoping that the walls around the lagoon get a good power wash. It's really bringing down how good the rest of the area looks.

Maybe we have discussed this before, but I'm not entirely confident that LIMs can get the job done (aka launch) from a tilted position with such a heavy load...Then again Mummy uses LSMs if I remember correctly..Someone here must know the answer

Nice. Will be quite splashy. And I expect that tunnel under the bridge to be super foggy.

And if those two are back, I expect the launch effect at the end of the tunnel to somehow reappear.
