9816_37	Athletics.
9816_38	Bergen ranks ninth on the all-time list for assists by a catcher with 1,444, despite never being a
9816_39	full-time player. His .989 fielding percentage in 1908 set a record (since broken) for catchers. On
9816_40	August 23, 1909, he threw out six St. Louis Cardinals who attempted to steal bases, which tied the
9816_41	record. The record was in question for quite some time due to inconsistent reporting, but has been
9816_42	accepted to be six. That year Bergen threw out 138 attempted steals in only 112 games behind the
9816_43	plate. His career percentage for throwing out base-stealers was 47.3%, as compared to a league
9816_44	average of 45% in that timeframe. He led the league in Caught Steals in 1906 and 1909.
9816_45	Bergen tallied 100 assists as a catcher in nine seasons (in seven of which he caught less than 100
9816_46	games), leading the league in 1904, 1906, and 1909. By comparison, the following Hall of Fame
9816_47	catchers reached 100 assists in a season the following number of times (despite in most cases

9816_54	played on that finished with a winning record.) After he was released from the big leagues, Bergen
9816_55	played in the minor leagues until 1914. He coached and managed in minor league ball until 1920, at

9817_0	The Incredible Hulk Coaster is a launched roller coaster located at Universal's Islands of Adventure
9817_1	within the Universal Orlando Resort. Designed by Werner Stengel and manufactured by Bolliger &
9817_2	Mabillard (B&M), the roller coaster is themed after Marvel's Hulk and opened to the public on May
9817_3	28, 1999. It is the first B&M coaster themed to a Marvel Comics superhero character and the first
9817_4	to feature a launch design, a system that was primarily implemented by Universal Creative and MTS
9817_5	Systems Corporation.
9817_6	The Incredible Hulk Coaster's launched lift hill accelerates the train up to in approximately two
9817_7	seconds and eventually reaches a maximum speed of . Riders experience seven inversions throughout
9817_8	the course of the ride, which was positively received when it opened. The park temporarily closed
9817_9	the coaster on September 8, 2015, for a major refurbishment that included an updated line queue, a
9817_10	modified theme, new sections of track, and new trains that feature on-board audio. It reopened to
9817_11	the public on August 4, 2016.
9817_12	History
9817_13	In 1991, planning began for a new theme park adjacent to Universal Studios Florida. By the end of
9817_14	1993, it was decided that one area of the future Islands of Adventure theme park would be themed
9817_15	after Marvel Comics, with a Hulk theme being selected for a thrill ride. The designers of the ride
9817_16	wanted to simulate being fired out of a cannon and subsequently set about prototyping a launch
9817_17	system. Universal Creative and MTS Systems Corporation had a working prototype in January 1995.
9817_18	Methods to achieve this acceleration were investigated into mid-1996. On-site construction of
9817_19	Islands of Adventure was underway in 1997, with Superior Rigging & Erection being responsible for
9817_20	erecting the supports and track of the roller coaster. On May 28, 1999, Islands of Adventure
9817_21	officially opened to the public, with The Incredible Hulk being one of its debut attractions.
9817_22	On August 14, 2015, Universal announced that the coaster would undergo major enhancement and
9817_23	refurbishment work. The ride closed on September 8, 2015, and re-opened to the public on August 4,
9817_24	2016, after several days of technical rehearsals. The refurbishment involved heavy modifications to
9817_25	the line queue and entrance, along with a storyline theme. To improve the smoothness of the ride,
9817_26	sections of track were also replaced along with the trains, which were enhanced with on-board audio
9817_27	and special lighting effects. The launch tunnel's exterior was repainted black and the old track
9817_28	and trains were recycled for scrap.
9817_29	Concept art released in 2015 for the upcoming Universal Studios Beijing showed that the park would
9817_30	include a clone of the Incredible Hulk Coaster. However, Universal later clarified in 2019 that the
9817_31	depicted roller coaster clone would instead be themed to the Transformers franchise.
9817_32	Characteristics
9817_33	The Incredible Hulk is a sitting coaster by Swiss firm Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M). The ride
9817_34	features seven inversions including a zero-G roll, a cobra roll, two vertical loops, and two
9817_35	corkscrews. The ride features a maximum height of , and a first drop stretching . Riders reach a
9817_36	top speed of on the two-and-a-quarter minute ride. Each of The Incredible Hulk's trains feature
9817_37	eight cars which seat riders four abreast, giving each train a maximum capacity of 32 riders.
9817_38	Riders, who must be at least tall, are restrained with ratcheting over-the-shoulder restraints.
9817_39	This train configuration allows the ride to achieve a theoretical hourly capacity of 1,920 riders
9817_40	per hour. The ride features two subterranean dives, is partially built over water, and is
9817_41	illuminated green at night.
9817_42	A unique launch system propels riders up the hill. The system was developed by Universal Creative
9817_43	and MTS Systems Corporation. A prototype launch system was designed by January 1995. The prototype
9817_44	consisted of a series of boxcars welded together to form a launch tunnel. A track-mounted dune
9817_45	buggy was then propelled inside the tunnel through the use of a weight drop launch mechanism. The
9817_46	designers then experimented with different rates of acceleration, each emitting between one and
9817_47	five times the force of gravity. The final system which was implemented on The Incredible Hulk sees
9817_48	trains launch from 0 to in 2 seconds. Riders travel at an angle of 30 degrees through a tunnel,
9817_49	pulling 1 G. To power this launch the designers investigated a variety of systems ranging from
9817_50	hydraulic, pneumatic, cable, steam catapult, and conveyor belt. In the end a drive tire system was
9817_51	selected, where 230 electrical motors power a set of tires that pinch the train's underside to
9817_52	provide propulsion. As this system required eight megawatts of power to propel each train, the park
9817_53	built several customized motor generator sets with large flywheels to reduce the risk of
9817_54	browning-out the local energy grid with every launch. The launch system made The Incredible Hulk
9817_55	the only B&M ride to feature a launch, until Thunderbird opened at Holiday World in 2015. Unlike
9817_56	The Incredible Hulk, Thunderbird uses a linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch system.
9817_57	Ride description 1999–2015 Queue
9817_58	In the original version, the queue began with the science laboratory of Dr. Bruce Banner with many
9817_59	televisions showing a cartoon about the story of Hulk. Bruce tried to find a way to reverse the
9817_60	effects, which the guests were about to take part in. While walking through the lab they
9817_61	encountered items including the generator, the gamma core and the towers of power. Guests waiting
9817_62	in line were also able to see the roller coaster through large holes in the walls as well as listen
