How long is the Hulk ride?

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is a launched roller coaster located at Islands of Adventure theme park within the Universal Orlando Resort. Designed by Werner Stengel and manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, the roller coaster is themed after the Hulk comic book superhero and opened to the public on May 28, 1999.



The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal Islands of Adventure features a total ride duration of approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds. However, the experience is defined by its intense, high-speed pace rather than its length. The ride begins with a unique "gamma radiation" launch that propels riders from 0 to 40 mph in just two seconds up a 150-foot tunnel. Once the train exits the tube, it plunges into a series of seven high-intensity inversions, including a zero-G roll, a cobra roll, and two vertical loops. The track length is roughly 3,700 feet, making it one of the most substantial B&M coasters in Florida. In 2026, it remains a fan favorite because it maintains a high velocity—reaching a top speed of 67 mph—throughout the entire layout. The ride was completely "re-tracked" and refurbished in 2016 to ensure a smoother experience, and it features an original musical score by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy that is synchronized to the coaster's maneuvers. While the physical ride time is just over two minutes, the sustained G-forces and rapid-fire elements make it feel like a much more significant and breathless journey through the world of Marvel.

Hagrids is super smooth, Hulk is intense but I didn't find it particularly jerky (YDS was obsessed so we rode it many many times). Hagrid, Veloci, Hippogryph, Nuthouse, Mummy, and Gringotts are all very smooth. Hulk's outer seats can be a little rough, depends on the wear of the wheels I've found.
