Good rides in islands of adventure

Here are some good rides in Universal studios:
The Hulk:[edit] The ride
At the lift hill, riders enter the Project Gamma tube and hear Bruce Banner expressing his dismay at yet another malfunction. He says: "Everything looks good....I think...I think this time it's going to work". After that sentence riders are shot out within 2 seconds at 40 mph and are sent through a zero-g roll, down a 105 foot drop and through a cobra roll. Riders shoot up again to a loop, then enter a tunnel full of mist. At this point of the ride, the trains speed has reached approximately 65-67 mph. The train circles around the gamma tube and is sent into the back area. After another loop, the coaster is slowed down by a brake before being sent down another hill to a corkscrew. Riders then travel sideways through a camera area and then to the rides closing after a double helix.
