[universal chris]

Like BriMan said, for me the first half of the coaster is really smooth its the second half that needs the most work. I dont think its as rough as most say except for a couple turns.

Could some of you here that complain about Hulk being rough be more specific? Was the entire ride rough or was one part more rough than the other? Were you sitting in the front, middle or rear? Was it side to side rough or bumpy up and down rough?

I cannot imagine the rails being rough as they are smoothed by the run of the coaster each day. I cannot imagine that a few of the rails have come loose from the main green support as the ride would be closed.

I wish I could be more of a help, but I haven't been on the ride in over a year. I just remember the last time being on it, and coming off with a hell of aheadache from the roughness.

Also, here is another thing to complain about: Hulk weak splash-down. Take a look:

Before (So green and beautiful!)

that first pic is amasing

It would be nice to see the splash effect return to action during a refurb.

Guys they refurbed the splash last winter. It looks slightly less powerful than that first picture now, which was taken years ago.

 

[Eckert]

Is the Hulk painted yet?

Apparently?

Ha! That's my vid! :happy:
I shot that in the first week of March and even then I had noticed how much the splash effect had been turned down. They might have done it on purpose though because that was during a time when they were draining the splash area every night to do some work.

nice video universal_fanatic:rep:, but please for the love of god repaint the hulk universal and bring back the island skipper tours to :furious:

Anyway, details on the roughness would be appreciated.

I wonder if its those orange stains on the tracks that are doing that. (If those are stains :inquisitive.

Here is a resent video (Skip to 0:35 to see what i'm talking about).

On RnR's video, at :26, :35, :41, the side to side shaking is so gawd awful now. Its not like an up and down motion or a front to back, just side to side really really jerky and hard like.

Im going back tonight and all this weekend, and even tho I swore it off I will prob just pop a couple aleve and ride anyway because I love Hullk so much.

Okay...I need to ask...why does everyone want the skipper tours back? They were so lame.
