Hey Thrill Seekers,
We got to see a nice update on Friday night of how everyone’s favourite green coaster was getting on. The new and improved Hulk Coaster will be up and running this year with a new queue experience and a smoother ride but with the Hulk getting a fancy makeover what do Universal have in store for the rest of Marvel Island?
Well lets jump aboard the rumour train and take a look…
What we’re hearing is that the Hulk revamp isn’t the end of Universal’s planned makeover of this area. Dr. Doom’s Fearfall, Storm Force Accelatron and Cafe 4 are all apparently going to make way for a new state of the art Avengers Attraction!!!!
Rumour has it that the new attraction will use the same format and technology as the very popular Harry Potter and the Escape fro Gringotts.
Now avid reader of this blog might remember a post I wrote quite a while ago stating that as Disney owned the rights to Marvel any update to this area would require Disney’s approval. I remember stating at the time that it was unlikely Disney would approve any additions to this area however we’re hearing from a few reliable sources that Universal and Disney may have actually come to understanding! We’re expecting to hear more once the Hulk Coaster reopens in the summer.
One thing we know for sure is that the refurbishment of the Hulk Coaster means that Universal are definitely not looking to give up this land any time soon. Yay!!!
Smiles included…
