    If you love inversions, check out this coaster as it has seven inversions! Love the theming of being a part of a science experiment. Naturally, we don't react well to gamma radiation and we spiral out of control through the ride. This can cause moments of g force which can be a bit harsh on the body, which ultimately made my dad tapping out on indulging me in getting my coaster fix. Still a pretty solid ride and love being able to get a photo to remember the experience!

    Right up there for top coaster at universal! This huge mean green machine is one of the top three coasters in the park. It is a thrill a second and deserves top billing right next to its brethren! Huge loops, speed boosts, and thrills galore this is an experience you MUST have while you are here. Hopefully you have a fast pass or you can get here during early entry or you are going to have a big mean green wait. But do not pass on this experience!! This is truly a multiple must ride!

    Many things are possible, but one of them isn't me riding this sort of roller coaster. The Incredible Hulk Coaster opened in 1999 and was refreshed in 2016. I didn't ride it when I was here in 2018 and I didn't ride it when I was here in 2024. But I was happy enough to watch other people giving their inner ears a workout. According to guides, there are seven inversions, one zero G roll with corkscrews and a maximum of 67 miles per hour after a proper launch at the start. It looks like lots of fun. Not for me.

    The Incredible Hulk Coaster opened with Islands of Adventure on May 28, 1999. It is part of the Marvel Superhero Island. It was created by the Swiss firm Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M). The ride was refurbished in 2016 with a new storyline and redesigned ride queue. The new story line features a dangerous scientific experiment being conducted by General Thaddeus Ross. As you wait in line you see test subjects being exposed to gamma rays which transforms them into Hulk like creatures. This used to be one of my favorite rides at Universal. After riding VelociCoaster I insisted we go here to see how they compared. After we put our belongings in the locker we had no trouble walking on the ride through the single rider line. This coaster was the first to use the launch design that Hagrid's Motorbike and VelociCoaster both do so much better. According to the story you are exposed to gamma rays in a tunnel and then the ride take off is supposed to simulate the feeling of being fired out of a cannon. After launch, Hulk propels you along a 3,670 foot long track with seven inversions. After going on VelociCoaster which is so smooth it feels like you are flying, the Hulk is really showing it's age. Rough is the word that comes to mind. My head was snapped back and forth the entire ride and I really regretted wearing earrings that day. The worst was when the ride came to a stop. We were held in place before entering the station for what seemed like forever during which my overhead harness was pressing uncomfortably into my chest. I couldn't get any relief and started to feel panicky. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I held it together long enough to get off the ride but never again. I can't believe they tore down Dueling Dragons but opted to keep this. Hulk is a classic Universal ride but I would rather ride VelociCoaster once than unlimited rides on a coaster which left me feeling like a took a round with the Hulk himself.

    Definitely my favorite non-HP coaster at Universal (of what we were able to ride when visited last month)! The wait was reasonable, and the ride was tons of fun. It was smooth and exciting. I love that 0 to super fast start! It definitely got me to giggle a little bit! FYI This is one of those rides where you can't have your phone on your even in a zipped pocket (you will go through metal detectors), so they'll need to go a in a locker or stay with someone not riding the ride. Would ride again.

    This is a roller coaster, not a theme ride. It os very fast and will got upside down. There is a point with some mist, but don't expect to see much theme detail on the ride itself. All of the theme and detail is present during the line to get on. I do not have any interior pictures as you have to put everything into a locker before you're allowed into the line. Luckily the lockers are free. You'll need either a paper version of your park ticket or a paper locker rental ticket since you can't bring your phone on the ride. Even fanny packs aren't allowed on.

    If you are anything of a roller coaster junkie then riding the Hulk is a must. This is a high intensity, loop-de-loop wild ride. And unpopular opinion, but I just don't enjoy this one quite as much, and I am most definitely a roller coaster freak. I used to be absolutely obsessed with the Hulk. I would ride it over and over and over. We'd go on, ride, then run right back in line and do it again. And I'd do that probably for at least 5 or 6 times a whack. But then, one summer a few years ago they shut the Hulk down for maintenance or something, so no one could ride it for quite a span of time. I remember being so disappointed because it had been my favorite ride. Once it opened back up I was elated. Maybe it's just me, but after they closed the ride for that time I feel it was a lot different after it re-opened. To me, the Hulk is so much rougher now, which is part of why I don't like it as much. When I ride it, I have to focus the entire time on keeping my shoulders and head back, and my neck straight, or else my head will hit the sides of the seat constantly because it's so bumpy and rough. And it's not fun to do that- I want to be able to just ride and enjoy it, not worry about wrecking my ears or giving myself a headache. The Hulk also goes upside down at least 6 times. Half of the ride is loops, and it's easily more than any other ride in both parks. The overall effect between that and how rough it is makes me very easily motion sick, and I don't get motion sick. I'm a roller coaster junkie and I love any theme park, so for one to make me feel physically ill and queasy, well it must really be a rough one. Even with all this I still desperately want to like the Hulk ride and try to go on it occasionally and change my mind. It hasn't worked yet, but I'm pretty stubborn. I'll also say, the beginning of this ride is super epic. You get shot through the tunnel into the highest point and it is a feeling like no other, slowing gaining altitude just to suddenly accelerate so fast your face stretches out. My advice with the Hulk: if you love roller coasters you need to try this, but if you're at all sensitive to rough rides think twice. This is a very, very intense ride. To me, it's the most intense of all the Universal rides.

    42 times in one day may be a mistake, especially when you're 50!

    I rode The Incredible Hulk Coaster 42 times in a row, all in the same day! True story, I spent nearly an entire day entering through the single-rider line and as soon as I got off this coaster, I rushed right back in line and rode it again. Over and over. Forty-two times. Now let me warn you: If you choose to do this, your body's equilibrium may be thrown completely out of whack for the following few weeks or so. In fact, you may find yourself walking around like some sort of drunk or something. At least that's what's happened to me. I've been just so off-balance ever since that day, as if the coaster itself has been embedded somehow into my core! I've been back home for weeks now, but it's been as if I'm still riding this beast anytime I get up and move! This feeling seems to be fading a bit now, but frankly, I'm not so sure because every time I think about riding The Hulk again I immediately start to get dizzy as all getout... Anyway, enough of all that negative mumbo-jumbo, this coaster is one of the best and definitely in the top three of my all-time favorites, so do yourself the justice of riding it at least once!

    Honestly one of the greatest coasters in Florida in my opinion. A few years ago they over hauled it literally tearing it apart and then starting from the ground up so they could update the track and make it run smoother. Everything about this ride is phenomenal from the theme to The Story, yes a roller coaster that has a story, insane right! During this pandemic that is going on right now the roller coaster spacing amazing when it comes to the social distance thing, with stickers on the floor every 6 feet so you are making sure that you were not near people. They are also leaving Gap rows on the actual right itself so you are not close to people. The ride itself is rather long and begins with a launch lift that sends you straight Head Over Heels. There are a multitude of flips and twists and turns and the right itself goes insanely fast! This is easily a rope drop time to ride that everybody needs to try when they are here

    07.18.19 you might turn green like the Hulk after the ride... prepare for many loops!

    Universal's Island of Adventure (Florida) MARVEL SUPER HERO ISLAND pavilion Now this is a roller coaster!! This is one of the more popular thrill rides in the Universal Orlando Resort theme park. Although the thrill is amazingly fun there were two more crazy rolls and another loop following an upside down moment. The ride had a total of six or seven upside-down experiences (I lost count, could've been 8, I dunno, but you get the hint, it was a lot) that included a 110 foot cobra roll. The experience lasted just a little more than 2 minutes! OMG! At the end of the ride I was as green as the Hulk. Not so incredible feeling for me :( Lock them up! There's a reason why those lockers are there. Store your loose articles in the free lockers across the walkway from the attraction's entrance (next to Cafe 4) 'coz if you don't one of those upside down loops will get you. Okay, now you know... this is a must ride attraction... even if you get sick. LoL! Find this ride in the Marvel Super Hero pavilion at Universal's Islands of Adventure side of the resort.

    I've read a lot about eating yogurt for bad stomach pain... do you think vanilla yogurt would work?

    Yogurt usually helps with stomach issues

    Do you think that I could go on Dragon Challenge in Universal Studios? I am ten and get VERY scared on roller coasters! Do you think it would be alright?

    The Dragon Challenge no longer exists. It is now the Hagrid coaster. All ages go on this one and it doesn't go upside down.

Friendly staff, functioning rides & great theming all add to the experience. With Velocicoaster opening up in 2021 & not having been since, I was really looking forward to it. I was expecting a lot & that's exactly what it provided! It's by far one of the coolest roller coasters in FL. It has flips, rolls, heights, crazy speed & is relatively smooth. Without a fast pass I was able to ride twice on a Saturday morning. I especially love Dr. Doom's drop tower & the Spider-Man ride. While totally different experiences, they're both fun. I like how the drop tower is reversed, as it shoots you towards the sky & slowly lets you down. I just wish you went up more than once. The Hulk is also a classic. While it was a little more rough than I remember, it's the same adrenaline-pumping coaster that you either love or fear. I have a soft spot for Seuss Landing so I love walking through. Looking at the life sized characters & all of the colorful sets bring a smile to my face. The aroma from the food stands also add to the experience. I've grown up visiting all of the theme parks in FL & would say that Islands is towards the top of my list. If you love roller coasters, it'll scratch the itch. If you're into Marvel, you'll be drawn right in. If you're looking for a hit of nostalgia, you'll find it here.

We skipped the little kids area and Jimmy Fallon, due to lack of interest and not being geared to our age group. I'll be interested to see what they do to bring new life to this park when the Simpsons contract runs out, especially since they are closing the Animal actor experience. So that's a sizeable amount for something new! For HHN, it ran well for us. I liked that they had two houses open at 2, and then we hit some haunts as they opened at 515 or 545. Thought I will say our feet ended up killing us from having to bounce back and forth. Since where they had two haunts that felt like a long walk off to the side where one opened at 2 but the other didn't open for a little more than 3 hours after it, so made for some unexpected back tracking.

They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy.

There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back.

All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

Being of a certain age, we chose to visit just the Auto Museum. There are a variety of attraction packages available if you want to use one or several of the attractions. Everyone entering must fill out a waiver, even if you're visiting just the Auto Museum. The waivers are available online as well as advance ticket purchases. There is also a food court and several shops within the Dezerland complex. I'm not into cars myself but the Auto Museum was impressive. My husband especially loved seeing the vintage cars from the 1940s through the 1970s, although some of the cars shown preceded the 1940s. The displays include vehicles used in movies and popular culture. My favorites were the Mystery Machine and Herbie the Love Bug as I saw the movie Love Bug as a child. Besides cars, the museum also features vintage motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, fire trucks, police vehicles, post office delivery vehicles, subway cars, and buses. The backdrops, movies posters, pictures, and cardboard cut outs of the movie 'stars' and historical figures greatly enhance the experience. I can't imagine the time and energy it must have taken to amass this collection of vintage vehicles. We spent about two hours browsing the huge collection of cars but easily could have spent another hour or two here admiring the old time motor vehicles.
