@smpman100 I work at Universal. We take heights really seriously. If you're just under it, we're supposed to take a thin object like a paper or a clipboard and see if we can put it between your head and the height stick.

I am not going to lie, the first time I rode it I didn't know about the launch. Scared the crap out of me, that was well over 10 years ago, rode it again today.

It was rough before the retrack. Poor maintenance only goes so far. Went every year from 08-15 and it got rougher over the last few years I attended annually.

you don't have time to think about "maybe this wasn't a good idea" after the launch. the ride is so immersive at this point after the renovation to where you start thinking that the moment right before the launch when you hear the words "DO NOT BE AFRAID"

I'm wondering. Why did Universal go with B&M to build this ride if B&M can't do launched coasters. It would've been easier to go with a company that can do them instead of needing to find a whole different company to build a launch mechanism and design the thing to be a launch coaster.

@fyadcorp Er, LSM launch as well. Forgot about those. Anyway it's a fun coaster, the launchis outstanding and so are the first 4 inversions. After that it's sort of average, butthe first part makes it all worthwhile.

1:45 "And hung some weights off of a pulley at the other end, and we dropped the weight" 2:32 "We tried 1g, we tried 2gs, 3gs, 4gs, 5gs" It is literally impossible for the dune buggy to accelerate more than 1g!!! They dropped the weights, which were pulled by gravity. Gravity by definition is 1g. If the weights are too light, the dune buggy would roll backwards. Just enough weight, and it would not move up or down the incline. More weight than that, it will accelerate up the incline The heavier the weight, the closer the acceleration would get to 1g, but it would never get to 1g, let alone surpass 1g, only approach 1g of acceleration.
@RyanArmstrong892 жыл бұрын
sheaves? a 3:1 with 3 x the weight on the 3 side would pull an object close to 3g's, am i wrong? gravity times 3 due to the sheaves in the opposite way they are used in cranes.

@GMoney-B6 жыл бұрын
8 megawatts of power!?!? Are you serious? Is this guy mistaken because Superman the escape at magic mountain is said to take 1.2negawatts per track and that has to use some SERIOUS force to launch the 6 ton cars up to 100 in 7 seconds. Hulk only uses comparatively small motors to lunch. Most of me believes the guy since I doubt for the most part he is incorrect, but the numbers seem way way off. I love roller coaster tech and engineering by the way so I’m not intending to be all nit picky or anything. Just very curious.

Wait, so if this launches at only 1 g, how come I had a complete loss of consciousness on this ride? Like, I don't remember it launching like that at all when I rode it but I've seen many videos of this ride so that's how I know it does. I don't even remember putting on my seatbelt. The thing I remember was that I went up to the station, and after that, I remember being on the ride. First, I was deaf and blind for like a few seconds and I began to open my eyes and I was having the aura effect (light flashes). And I was like "Where am I?" But then, I remembered I was on the Hulk at Universal and just pretended like nothing happened and enjoyed the ride. I think I came back when we were going through a vertical loop but my memory is fuzzy. And I felt fine afterwards except that I was very sleepy, which I kinda was before I got on. I am quite prone to greyouts on roller coasters but never had a total loss of consciousness before from them. I've been trying to investigate into the cause of this. What is the maximum amount of G's this ride pulls? I've been trying to find that out to see if it was the cobra roll and not the launch but my guess is that maybe I wasn't prepared for the launch. Is there any way I can prevent this? And would anyone even know the exact or most likely cause?
@beastman45210 жыл бұрын
The zero g roll made you lose consciousness because of the 1g throwing you upside down make you feel a lot of weight go to your feet and some people pass out as a result of this.

No, its unique in the fact that its a false lift-hill launch. no one else has done it. It requires an insane amount of energy and maintenance to do. Only a place like Universal really has the budget to do it. Every other launch coaster is on level ground.

Seems clunky and outdated compared to an LIM launch. Lots of moving parts and you need a flywheel-generator set (or a new substation) to power it. I think if this coaster was built today, Universal would have tried to develop an LIM system.
