I was not particularly impressed with the Incredible Hulk. Of course the queue line practically fuses future riders into the comic book world and the ride itself is stunningly daunting in appearance...but the actual ride experience failed to deliver, IMO
I will admit that the beginning of the ride was fantastic. The launch into the barrel roll is brilliant...by far the highlight of the ride. Not many coasters have such an epic initial 40 seconds, but Hulk can definitely lay claim to one.
However, after you pull out of that harrowing first drop, the ride settles into an uninspired series of monotonous inversions that really just didnt do anything for me. Whats more, the ride has not aged well, if you ask me. During my visit, the track was in desperate need of a repaint in select areas, especially those cloaked in thick mist, and the ride overall had a lot of rattle to it.
Its a fun ride...that much is sure...but considering the way so many people hype this ride, I was expecting more out of it. Regardless, the first 40 seconds is Hulks redeeming quality and it should also be noted that the ride provides decent forces in its elements on the whole.
