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..

With three LSM launches, propelling the train to 30, 60, and 40 mph, this ride is about speed! The ride also has some great drops and twists. As seen above is the largest drop on the ride, which is 130 feet tall into a trench! ...
