Ugh, I was already green after I tried the Dulling Dragons ride a couple years back. So a big no to old green skin's ride. Love those posters tho.

Besides the color scheme, what's the connection to the Hulk?

Got it...though my bigger shock came from that crazy electromagnetic acceleration.

The tube is meant to represent a particle accelerator.

Not much of a connection JB. Theming to the ride was an experiment gone wrong which is why the sudden launch halfway up the tube. It is(was) a fun ride but no real Hulk immersion. The 3D Spider-man ride includes a fun interactive Spider-man story. The theming to it is also fun with it being the Daily Bugle and lots of stories and artwork posted in the queue. The Hulk is being rethemed (still Hulk) and refurbished to open next summer.

My wife took my picture beside it. I thought I'd lost this picture. Just wanted to share. I imediately recognize John Byrne's art of Incredible Hulk. I was wondering, why no credits? Did he earned some additional funds for the use of the art that was produced for a Comic Book? I was curious about that, because I thought he should receive...

The whole Marvel section is really outdated and poor considering the potential. I haven't seen references to the artists. The comic book shop is way too small.

Oh my goodness, you beat me too it.

I just took my girls to Universal last weekend and saw the same thing (Hulk down, but Byrne art running amok). Was going to post similar pictures earlier but have been so busy.
