Hulk is my favourite coaster at IOA. It is so smooth. And I just love that initial blast off.

Hubby and daughter say it is "awesome" one of the best rollercoaster rides ever. I will just have to believe them as you wouldn't get me on it.

I'm quite proud of myself. I actually went on the hulk last time and kept my eyes open. Not as easy as it sounds as I always end up riding the coaster with them shut. Haven't gone as far as not holding on yet. I think that will be a LONG time coming.

I am getting brave I think because I rode it last time with 'no hands' and even managed to catch my hairband as it slid off. There is a great point as you sweep down over the pathway to wave to friends on the bridge below.

Great ride to watch is my opinion! Don't wear your hats or sunglasses, the amount you see falling into the netting below as you cross the bridge underneath is amazing. Perhaps we were put off as we went the day after it officially opened and it broke down half way around and the poor people had to sit on it for 1/2 hour!!! I don't think my heart would stand up to that.

Joking aside all my friends think it is brilliant and that IOA is one of the best parks for adults. Took Mom on Spiderman as we really did think it would OK - but we were wrong - tame for most, terrifying for her!

Mick doesn't trust our opinions of rides any more after we got him to go on Spiderman, we had been told it was a 3D experience so we told him it was going to be like the Muppets movies at MGM. Took him an hour to get over it!!

Half way around Hulk it started to rain. The pain of rain drops slamming into your face at that speed was quite something! At least it hid the tears of fear when the mother-in-law came off (ha ha)

Incredible Hulk is my all time fave!!!! So hyped up by the media as something too much for most to handle, and saying how many people were throwing up when they came off, but I didn't have that problem!!!

I did have one problem though! A word of advice, keep your head back against the headrest at all times!!! I nearly blacked out on several occasions due to the G force! Its incredible, and I found the only way to avoid it is to keep your head back against the seat!!!

Hope I dont scare anyone!!!<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

It's a fantastic coaster - the launch is undescribable. The last couple of times I've been on I've had a headache (prior to riding) and it really makes it worse as your head is bashed from side to side very hard. Still worth it though!
