Originally posted by unfortunate_smileyI guess we have to build a Hulk-like coaster in round 2 because Hulk is the only B&M with a tire proppelled and after the first cork the track disappears behind the station. Also Six Flags has many B&Ms but non with a launch like Hulk has it. Well it ist heavily themed too, i think...
Plus if I remember correctly B&M outsourced to some random company (I want to say Giovanola but I can't recall) for the launch, so like Gazag said it's what the company
didn't make that makes the ride unique.
Close, but still very incorrect.
Universal said they wanted the launch. B&M said they wouldnt do it - period. So, they compromised and B&M did everything except the launching mechinisms - it was in Universals hands. To my knowledge, the launch was built In House by Universal. Just look at the uniquness. Its like 200 tires or something crazy. No one else had any other part in that ride.
