Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Thundermouse]

I visited Universal last week and chatted to the employee in Hulk uniform outside to explain that we were from the UK and not likely to visit for another 3 years so if there was any chance of softs while we were there and was told that the inside was still being worked on and not to expect softs for a few more weeks at the earliest so it may be mid August for softs.

Good to know. You have a great username. I hope you find a good avatar image to go with it.

Hey guys. Long time lurker but decided to go ahead and post this...I'm literally standing under the hulk right now and there were definitely people in the RVs while testing. Not sure if they are construction workers or universal TMs but to my knowledge this is the first time an actual person has been spotted in one of the RVs during testing. Crew members are still saying late summer though because obviously I asked after seeing people riding.

Also the entrance to the indoor portion of the queue was open and I could see a hulk cartoon video playing on a TV monitor inside. There was also a large collection of people standing in a group inside. TM previews perhaps? Either way I'm not sure if any of this is new info but thought I'd update those who, like me, just want this thing to open already lol

I would think the people riding would be UC members and B&M engineers. The group inside might have been execs getting a tour.

Gotcha. I'm trying to get some pics now just in case anyone doesn't believe lol. They're launching every few minutes but most of the vehicles since then have been empty. There was one more that had a single person sitting in the back row

I usually use Imgur and then copy the bbcode link directly into the post. If I'm out and don't want to deal with that I just upload it as an attachment from the phone.

Here we go. Not the best of quality but you can definitely see some guys in the back row. Hopefully you guys can see the image

Edit: looks like it's not working...oh well. You guys will see soon enough anyway from people who are more skilled at this lol. Some guy came to the same spot I was at and started going crazy with his digital camera so some legit pics should be on the way

If you add .jpg to end of the url and go up to the photo icon to the right of the smiley face above the text editor and paste the url in there, it will display.

I can't wait for Hulk to reopen. It hurts every time I visit Islands and I can't ride it.

Hopefully people riding it with dummies means it's closer to softs...

Hurry up!

VP, test crew, and other officials have been scheduled for test rides. Team member previews soon will have more info in the next coming days. More work has to be done inside before we Team Members get to ride. Im beyond excited!!!
