The Incredible Hulk (roller coaster)

Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure (Orlando, Florida, United States) is a steel roller coaster from the model sitting coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, opened on 28 May 1999.

Launch

The fact that the launch is not horizontal, but takes place in a slope, the order of the inversions of the other tracks of this model contained is different. After the station you will be pushed slowly at first in the 46 m long tunnel ( Acceleration chamber ). A mounted underneath the train sword engages in a set of friction wheels. 230 individually controlled electric motors provide a uniform and synchronous acceleration. Through the motors whose power per launch is 8 MW, then the train is at about half of tunnel within two seconds of accelerating from 0 to 64 km / h and then travels 34 m in height, the Zero -G Roll.

The enormous power requirement relates the investment of the city of Orlando. To compensate for disturbances in the supply network of the power stations that need the motors at each launch, a special dynamo system was installed. Here, in a purpose-built generator room nearly 5 -ton flywheels (fly wheel ) rotated by electric motors before the actual launch in rotation. Connected to them Dynamos same then during launch from the immense power requirements of the mains.

Ride

The following 32 m high exit is very long and drawn over a small lake before the train passes through the Cobra Roll, followed by a loop. After the train has passed through a corkscrew and another loop, is taken from him on a block brake, which runs through the center of the second loops something to speed. Prior to the final brake another corkscrew yet been installed.

The trains of Incredible Hulk Coaster each have eight cars. In each car four people can (a series à four people) take place. Passengers must be at least 1.37 m tall to ride allowed. As restraint system come shoulder strap for use.
