The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride veh...
Wicked Cyclone is a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid coaster located at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. Originally opening as a wooden coaster in 1983, Cyclone thrilled riders up until its closing in 2014. RMC came to Six Flags New England to do their well known I-box treatment, using their steel Iron Horse track on top of the original wooden structure.

This review will be split up into multiple categories, each rated 1/10, and at the end I will summarize my thoughts and give it an overall score. Theming- Wicked Cyclone is themed to a huge storm, called The Wicked Cyclone. Six Flags added a back story to this. Riders are members of C.h.a.s.e, which stands for Cyclone Hunters and Storm Enthusiasts. Six Flags New England went all out with theming on this ride. From the detailed weather god on the trains, to an airplane crashed into the station, this...
Time Traveler Review Written by Trevor Mungeam Ride Theme and Queue I only had a few hours at SDC so I planned to ride Time Traveler first, and then make Outlaw Run my 70th credit. I entered the park to see that Time Traveler was down so went to Outlaw Run, a walk on, and got a couple rides. I came off disappointed and made my way back to the front of the park to make Time Traveler my 70th coaster. The queue line was already 40 minutes and it opened for the day just after I got into line. The ambiance created by the ride is exquisite, from the intricate ride entrance sign, to the clocks, notes, and blueprints throughout the queue. The constant metronome of the clocks within the line are a very unique touch that help to build anticipation. From the queue you can look through the window to a great view of the coaster as it travels along the hillside. As you make your way into the station you notice even more theming elements, and the ride operators are dre...
