Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Mr. EPCOT]

I don't think Midway were jumping the gun, they basically just said walls are down so we can expect softs/previews soon. If people take that as today that isn't their fault tbh.

Thank you for using the brain and getting at what we were saying! Never said softs were going to be today lol.

Oh, I'm sorry, the phrasing "...soft opening / opening is imminent!" and "...we are on ‪#‎hulkwatch‬ from now" make it seem to me like they expect it to happen at any minute.

 

[IzzyB]

Yeah softs won't happen until after team members ride. So that is when hulk watch really begins. They are also not going to Grand open this thing without softs. They only do that crap when the have an announced opening date and they don't have time for softs. Uni has gotten around that by not announcing a date until softs start. lol

 

[Disneyhead]

Well, technically #anythingwatch starts the day walls come down. But I have never seen softs start the first day walls are down. Softs are imminent, but not today or tomorrow.

Didn't we just do this last month?

 

[Alicia]

I don't believe they are down temporarily, they've had crews cleaning the area all today.

Good to know. Thanks for the updates!

It's Universal. They do this almost every month.

Yep, as opposed to Disney. When they take down a wall, it's as eventful as the "Berlin Wall" coming down.

I have seen where they are advertising multiple merchandising events for the fall. Yes, a big Disney event is where they sell you stuff.

Don't ruin my dream's of calling it that..

I noticed last night the skylights are in place on queue building, pointing up, just like in the concept art... Cannot wait to see those turned on!

White round lights on roof, pointing towards the sky

Concept art shows lights pointing towards the sky. I was wondering if was just for the artwork or if they'd really have it in real life. Glad they did.

I totally saw those on from I-4 early the other morning and were wondering what they were for!

Video from last night with effects and sound testing. More pics on my blog post too.



Guess I'll have to go back and get some more video with the walls down this week. But at least I was able to get some nighttime lighting tests on video! It's all so so beautiful!

 

[Teebin]

^ Is that music new? It sounds much more ominous than I recall.

I wish they had more powerful bright white lights beneath the water spray.

Haven't been keeping up with this thread so I don't know if this has been shown yet but here are some tunnel effects from @hatetofly

 

[Garagely]

I may be the only one, but I'm gonna miss the old (and terrible, but I loved it) queue cartoon. Sometimes the animation was awful. Sometimes it was really cool. I always liked the shot of Banner and Hulk running at each other with the anime speed lines behind them. And that summer the Ang Lee Hulk film came out, they muted all of the Hulk's dialogue in it to reflect the movie.

I've spent way too many hours in line for this ride, clearly. Looking forward to this reopening!

Couple from today, will have video later.
