Love the entrance.

Although they have made a new zero car as it matches the new design. I wanted them to re-use the front of the old train as a nod to old Hulk :p

Can't be long till this is open now surely..?

Apparently there is a VR preview thing in the toon lagoon theatre which features a VR hulk coaster related video. Apparently it's a fact finding exercise to get people's opinions on VR for future developments rather than anything to do with hulk.

Source: One of the Orlando park blog things posted it but I cba to find it as I'm in a ride queue.

I might well do that. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] Although I haven't actually done anything VR yet.

I can't see then not doing it though unfortunately. After all it's an opportunity to put in more screens and we know how much universal love them!

Double post but they're running it on empty today. Not sure if that was happening before. Usually empty is the last they do before people tests right?

They've been doing tests for a few weeks now. No one seems to know when it'll be opening though.

Don't think it's been mentioned in here but they've added larger rider seats to more rows, including the front row.

Empty ones? I know they've been doing dummies for ages.

So I just did the VR test thing. It was pretty short and they didn't really ask for much feedback just like "you enjoyed that right?" to some people. I got the impression they were just testing the logistics of using VR rather than actually wanting to see if people hap. The headsets were using phones, they had 'confidential' stickers on them but the cameras looked square so looked androids of some sort. Some of them didn't work.

I wanted to tell them it was decent but I wouldn't like it for coasters but they didn't ask for my opinion and I haven't done any of the VR coasters so am only basing my opinion on what others have said really. Anyway hulk looked nice in the graphics.

Not as good as Monster in terms of lighting, but still looks gorgeous.

Human test riders are getting spins on this now. Also, judging by the video audio, this thing sounds awfully quiet compared to how loud it used to be. To be honest, I'm a bit sad that this won't have that awesome roar anymore... I mean it is themed to the Hulk, a big, loud monster, so it should roar loud and proud.....

Another MM video, this time with Night Testing and lights. It looks gorgeous.

This is absurd that they really went and just rebuilt the whole thing. I'll take it though.

It looks like it's been running faster than the old one. Anyone else think so?

That 'Rawr' sounds terrible imo. Everything else is absolutely spectacular though.

But who am I kidding? If you're nitpicking at those kinds of details, you have a damn good ride.
