The verdict

Montu shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.

Incredible Hulk Coaster is a steel Inverted launch coaster coaster at Islands of Adventure, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Montu is a steel Inverted Coaster coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.

Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.

They come from the same drawing office: Bolliger & Mabillard. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.

Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.

They are near-contemporaries — 1996 and 1999 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.

  • Height goes to Montu at 150 ft against 110 ft — a long way clear.
