Does anybody know who made the Launch track and system for the Hulk as I read that B&M refused to make the launch itself.

I have a video somewhere of testing to get the speed right for the launch where there were some guys on a cart which was winched up a tunnel at various inclines at various speeds so they could get it right but it doesn't say what the company is.

Thanks - had a search on the forum but couldn't find anything - would have never guessed Intamin.

Does anybody have a picture of the launch tunnel I could use on my website?

I'm pretty sure Intamin wasn't behind the installation and design of Hulk's tire-spin launch. It was some non-amusement ride manufacturer company that did it. I don't remember the name.

I thought the launch was done in house, by universal themselves. Not sure though

I think if Intamin did it they would have used something more intelligent than the tire system.

And by intelligent, did you mean also poor reliability? Like all their other LIM/LSM/Hydraulic launched coasters? ;)

I thought it was done in-house, but I'm not positive.

I thought Giovonola did the launch, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Intamin. On a side note, I was on Hulk front row yesterday. I'm so special.

Thanks - I am planning on writting an article about the Hulk with it being unique, I found that document last night and will be a great help.
Do you mind if I use those 2 pictures in the article, and if so is there any link you want adding as a way of thanks?

if you're writing an MLA or APA style paper for school there's certain ways you have to cite the pictures you use.

[URL="http://www.rollercoasterpro.com/articles/tech/hulk/"]This[/URL] is pretty similar to the Reliance article, but hey, it helps.

You can still cite your sources on your website.
