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...
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.

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...
On March 23rd, I visited Rapids Water Park, located in Riviera Beach, Florida. Rapids is probably my favorite water park, as it has a HUGE slide selection, with great variety. Rapids is operated by Premier Parks, who also operates Darien Lake. The park has slides for everybody, from Children's Play Structures, to Brain Drain, two Trap Door slides! Below I'll share some photos, and what I think of the attractions at Rapids. Big Red Big Red is a ProSlide Bowl Slide. This is a very fun attraction, which can have either two or three riders. Riders fly up on the wall and experience some great forces. Big Red is a part of the HUGE slide tower at the park. All in All, I really liked Big Red, and found it really fun! Baby Blue Baby Blue is another Pro-Bowl, but this one is a body slide. I preferred it to Big Red, as it felt a lot faster, and the drop into the pool was insane! Big Thunder Big Thunder is a ProSlide Tornado slide. I preferred...
