The story of Incredible Hulk Coaster
In 1999, the completed coaster opened with Islands of Adventure, rising beside the park lagoon as one of its principal steel attractions. Contemporary travel reporting singled out its powerful launch and dramatic first inversion as a striking arrival for Florida’s newest major park. coasterpedia.net· latimes.com
Bolliger & Mabillard gave the ride an unusual place in its own history. The company’s careful steelwork was combined with a tire-propelled launch, making this its first launched coaster and a notable piece of engineering for the period. coasterpedia.net· coaster101.com
The original course was later rebuilt in a major refurbishment, with replacement track, new trains, a redesigned queue and revised launch effects. When the ride returned, the familiar seven-inversion circuit remained at the heart of the visit. media.universalorlando.com· coasterpedia.net
