After several idle months behind construction walls, Universal Orlando’s Incredible Hulk coaster has received its long-awaited larger-than-life-upgrades.
Pieces of the original rides have been salvaged and recycled to build the sleek, modernized rendition of the green coaster the theme park has been known for.
The ride builds around a new story line detailed to subject experiment volunteers to high levels of gamma radiation – levels that will result in Dr. Bruce Banner’s introduction in to incredible strength and unmatched energy levels.
“Your part of the story begins the moment you enter the building – which has been redesigned as a state-of-the-art military research compound, commanded by General Ross,” reads the story line of the ride.
“Inside, General Ross is conducting an array of questionable, biological experiments. You’ll pass by laboratories containing high-tech equipment his team uses to execute his mysterious tests.
Next, you’ll arrive at the Gamma Core – an intense energy source that sends pulsing waves of radiation upward to fuel General Ross’s experiment. Not to worry – a thick pane of glass will protect you from direct exposure to the radioactive core.”
Patrick Stump, the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, performs an original ride song that will play in the coaster’s in-seat audio system.
The ride anticipates an opening in late summer 2016.
