As you walk into the park, one of the first things you see is this monster. You start to walk under it and you hear the beast roar overhead as it launches out of the gamma tube and dive down the drop. Then you decide to give it a try, people are screaming as they are being launched, you start to have second thoughts, but its too late. You walk onto the train, pull the restraint down and buckle it up. The ride operators give the thumbs up, you roll out of the station. You look up the tunnel, not knowing whats going to happen, or when you wil be launched. "Everything looks good. I think.....I think this time its going to work" You grip the handles as hard as you can just waiting to feel the power the launch, then you hear it..."Warning, warning...coolent levels dropping". "No! No! NOOOO!!!" Then it hits you, you speed out of the tunnel into the zero-g roll at 40mph, and the rest of the ride is just a blur to you. The next thing you know your back at the station getting off the train. The only thought to cross your mind at that point is, can we ride this thing again?
That paragraph there is what I wrote (or, is close to it) when I first reviewed it a couple years ago - back when it was my favorite coaster. While it no longer sits at the top of my list (in fact, its fallen behind Montu, even), its still one helluva coaster. The front delivers a great ride, but the Hulk is all about intensity and the back is where its at. Not rough at all, and it delievers one insane ride.
