I'll pass. The Incredible Hulk in Orlando was enough for me. I think was at the Universal Studios or MGM park. Whatever it's called.

The "Hulk" caught me totally off guard. You're climbing through a tunnel at probably 60 degrees and thinking that like most roller coasters you'll reach the peak and gravity will do the rest. Well while still climbing the damn thing takes off like the space shuttle and you do a barrel roll and a loop within seconds. When I finally think the ride is over we come to a pause and once again it takes off like a rocket from flat on the ground. I still don't know how they launch the thing.

I finally got off the thing and there was a beer kiosk there. Smart marketing. My hands were shaking so bad I spilled half the $7 cup of beer. :shock:

Thanks. That's as close as I want to get to that thing. It's amazing how they can plan to have the cars go that far just on gravity. It must be easy with computers, but imagine what it was like back in the old days when they had to design those big wooden coasters with slide rules.
