The Incredible Hulk Rollercoaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida

You are going to be loaded onto an experiment that happens to look a whole lot like a coaster.

 After getting secured into the experiment you are sent into a gammy ray chamber where of course you are bombarded with a potentially lethal charge of gamma radiation.

Of course what really happens is once the train starts being pulled up the lift hill a bit of pretty cool theming kicks in that looks like you are getting heavily irradiated before the tire propelled launch shoots you up and out of the lift at forty miles an hour.

Hulk is the first Bolliger & Mabillard built coaster with a launch.  They didn't build the launch themselves as that was contracted out to a third party.

The lift/launch is really quite stunning and you just explode out of the tunnel and all of a sudden are inverted.
