Just wanted to mention the first set of the permits for the Marvel upgrade got posted today. The Hulk will start it.

Thanks. Do you have the link?

What about the Nintendo X Universal annoucement?

Has no bearing on Marvel. Nintendo will be going into the Studios park.

Thanks. Do you have the link?

Thank you sir. Looks like that roller coaster isn't going anywhere… Not that it ever was in the first place.

If anyone is interested in how to look these up, go to http://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/docSearch.jsp Put in a date range, check "Uncheck box to search specific document types" and select Notice of Commencement.

For the "Either Party" enter "Universal City" for Universal or "Walt Disney Imagineering" for Disney.

Any chance of a rework in the design of the second half of this coaster, possibly to open up space for further expansion? Regardless of a reroute, this is great news because parts of it were rather rough.

Nintendo looking like it will take over Woody Woodpeckers- right?

Yes.

Other things should happen to free up space for expansion. Namely the removal of Doctor Doom's Fearfall

No.

The more space the better. There's so much they could do with Marvel.

I'm imagining that the theatre in Toon Lagoon provides options. I'k kind of expecting Hulk to take a more winding path over the pathways (may explain the electronic scanning trials a bit more). I'm probably completely wrong though

I wouldn't expect Hulk's ride path to change. Aesthetics, queue, effects, soundtracks, etc? All up for grabs.

Yes.

I wonder if it'll be rethemed like Flight of the Hippogriff or removed.

I won't miss it. Bring on the rumored Avengers ride

I think the person I quoted was asking about the entire land, not the coaster. I would not expect the coaster to stick around.

Roller coasters are "static" items. They are designed specifically to rise, fall, twist, turn, invert, and roll based on a specific set of parameters. There is a lot of science going on when you ride one. That science even extends into the ground and structure composition of the coaster. With perhaps the exception of rerouting a load/unload area or adding a storage spur, it is unwise and not coast effective to "reroute" a coaster....

I haven't followed this whole thread, so apologises if I have misunderstood, but I thought the whole ride was coming down and being rebuilt?

In the same configuration, if it is.

It begins

I am just waiting for the nay-sayers to claim that these permits are no proof that the coaster isn't being re-themed to something non-Mavel.

Just some upgrades and rethemeing (staying Hulk), and most importantly, new trains with soft restraints and on board audio.
