Review of Incredible Hulk CoasterFrommer's Rating: A+ Recommended Ages: 10-adult Bruce Banner is working in his lab when -- yes, again -- something goes wrong. But this rocking rocket of a ride makes everything oh so right, except maybe your heartbeat and stomach. From a dark tunnel, you burst into the sunlight while accelerating from 0 to 40 mph in 2 seconds. While that's only two-thirds the speed of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios, this is in broad daylight, there's a lot more motion still to come, and you can see the asphalt! From there, you spin upside-down 128 feet from the ground, feel weightless, and careen through the center of the park over the heads of other visitors. Coaster lovers will be pleased to know that this ride, which lasts 2 minutes and 15 seconds, includes seven inversions and two steep drops. The ride is extremely smooth, however, making it one of the better coaster experiences for all types of riders. Sunglasses, change, and an occasional set of car keys lie in a mesh net beneath the ride -- proof of its motion and the fact that most folks don't heed the warnings to stash their stuff in the nearby lockers (you should). As a nice touch, the 32-passenger metal coaster glows green at night (riders who ignore all the warnings occasionally turn green as well). Note: Expectant mothers and those with heart, neck, or back problems should skip this one. Riders must be at least 54 inches tall. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
