You'll be transformed by the slingshot Gamma Ray booster, as you
go from zero to 40 in two seconds and launch into the Incredible
Hulk Coaster.
You'll feel the power of the jade giant himself when
you get blasted out with the full-throttle thrust of an F-16 fighter
jet. It's just the blazing start of a thunderous roll through the
air at speeds of up to 60 mph. You'll be flung up to 110 feet in
the air and then go plummeting toward earth on drops as far down
as 105 feet. You'll go weightless on a Zero-G roll, go below water
and above buildings. And when it's all over, you'll know what it's
like being green.

Facts/History
The Incredible Hulk is a four-abreast sit-down roller coaster.
Instead of a conventional life, the coasters are accelerated up
an incline and exit a 150-foot tunnel at 40 mph.
Immediately, riders experience a zero-G heartline inversion and
are turned upside down 100 feet above the ground.
The longest drop occurs immediately after the zero-G roll and is
105-foot descent during which the coaster reaches 60 mph. T
he track layout includes seven inversions and two subterranean trenches.
A unique booster thrust system rockets riders upward 150 feet in
three seconds.
The steel frame of the Incredible Hulk Coaster is hollow to create
the roaring sound heard as the coaster rages down the track.
Reviews
"This ride is absolutely AMAZING It is by far
the best ride I have ever been on. Prepare yourself for the launch,
it is nothing like anything in England, shooting you out of a tunnel
at near 50mph then straight into an upsidedown loop drop. The sheer
height and size of this coaster is enough to blow you away. Go in
September, its still really hot and sunny weather and NO QUES!!
You can seriously go on any ride with no ques at any of the parks.
Brilliant. Definately going back!! Stand on the bridge near where
you que and i promise your jaw will drop when you see this coaster
in action!" (4/04) Gemma Hudson
"This is one of my favourite rides at Islands
of Adventure. I had a Fastpass because I was staying in the Hard
Rock Hotel which means you can just walk on every ride and never
have to queue. The beginning of this ride is so amazing that you
can't describe it! It's fast, exciting, especially when you go underground
through what you think is water. It's extremely fast so make sure
you keep you head firmly against the head rest otherwise it will
knock about and you will get a really bad headache afterwards!"

"Maybe not as long as most, not even that high
or fast, But the start of this ride blows me away everytime. If
you want to ride constantly visit in January the park is quiet and
you can ride to your hearts content. Sit at the front lift your
feet, raise your arms and scream, the experience is amazing, and
yep it works even better with your eyes shut!!!!!!!" (10/02)
