The Incredible Hulk Coaster^SM&© was just one of the many incredible attractions built for the grand opening of Universal's new Island of Adventure theme park. As with all the other rides in the park, this one too is very unique.

This ride was built by B&M and is 125 feet high, but let the height fool you since it doesn't need a (traditional) lift hill to get up it's momentum.

When entering the ride, there is a nicely detailed queue leading up to the loading deck. You can choose a separate line for the front seat and are free to choose other seats as well. Once leaving the station, the ride moves slowly forward up the inline then suddenly blasts forward and ultimately shoots out toward the sky. this ingenious method of propulsion doesn't use exotic technology, just a lot of rubber tires and some amazing engineering.

The rest or the ride is pretty much B&M, fast, smooth and fun.

Another view of the entire coaster. Compare to the photo below. A train has just been launched (upper right of photo).
Similar to the photo above except at night.
A train has just launched out of the tube.
Close-up view of launch tube exit. Note the immediate twist and dive.
As the trains head back toward the lake, a blast of water shoots up.
Another view show the water blasts away from the rides.

Time to turn around.

Next up is the first loop, over the water. On the right, we see the train heading into the mist filled tunnel.
Close up of entrance to the tunnel.

A head on view of the train entering the tunnel and on the right the train inside.
As the train comes out of the mist, it makes a quick loop and the heads toward the back half of the ride.
Part of the queue area and the rear half of the ride. The station is shown partially on the left.
The rear of the ride features another loop and some fantastic lower lever trackage including one point that has some airtime in the rear of the train. Most of this portion of the ride is inaccessible for photography.
Note the incredibly detailed front of the train.
Here the train passes the park's signature light house.
