Hulk is a ride that comes out of the blocks like gangbusters, and then moseys on home during the second half of the ride. Over the years I have gotten varied results on this coaster. The first time I rode it, I was less than overwhelmed, but then the next time it was like a different ride...one of the best out there. Lately, however, the ride has other issues. It is shakey and it gave me a few blows to the head, especially near the end. If I compare this coaster to the nearby Kumba, it doesnt quite stack up. The theming goes to Hulk, and the first part of Hulk is slightly more exciting due to the launch. However, Kumba has more power to each element and is intense from the start all the way to the finish. Kumba seems to be the same ride it was when it opened back in 93. Hulk is not aging as well, which is a shame since it is a lot newer.
