Universal announced today that the coaster will be getting new ride vehicles as well as &#8220;new enhancements to its storyline.&#8221; We have heard that the park also will be replacing the coaster&#8217;s launch mechanism and will be adding new in-queue and possibly in-tunnel on-ride effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, Universal substantially refurbished The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride in Islands of Adventure&#8217;s Marvel Super Hero Island, upgrading to a 4K digital high definition Infitec 3-D projection system, as well adding a new audio system, lighting, and improved sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universal is in the midst of a building binge at its U.S. theme parks, as Islands of Adventure will be opening the Reign of Kong ride in a new Skull Island land next year, and plans are underway to add a major Nintendo presence in the parks. Universal Orlando is also building a new hotel and new water park. In Hollywood, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open next year as the keystone in a $1 billion-plus &#8220;Evolution&#8221; makeover of the entire Universal City property, which is also slated to include new hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themeparkinsider.com\/flume\/201508\/4691\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.themeparkinsider.com\/flume\/201508\/4691\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universal Orlando Resort\u00a0announced this morning\u00a0that the\u00a0Incredible Hulk Coaster\u00a0at Islands of Adventure will be going down for an extended refurbishment, starting Sept. 8.
