Actually, thats not entirely true... All B&M do "roar" to a certain extent, however the Hulk's roar is different than all other B&M coasters. If you've seen the interview with the guys who created the park(Mark Woodbury and Dale Mason), on the "Roller Coaster Thrills" DVD, you'd know that in fact they tested numerous types of wheels, each with different polyeurothane compositions, untill they got the desired roar they were looking for... So it's all in the wheels, not the spine when it comes to Hulk. I'd say that just as intended, the sound adds to the amazing theme of the coaster, and certainly attracts riders to it from all over the park...
It's no surprise that everyone turns left towards the Hulk when they enter the park.

Every time we've been at IOA, we go to the right and Suess Island.
...just saying.

Actually FloridaCoasterRider, I have a small daughter so we are heading to Suess Island, but DD is certainly the next stop.
Then again I went to IOA 5 times while I lived in Florida and never saw huge crowds there. I've never waited more than 20 or 25 minutes for any ride in the park. One visit we made (March 1, 2000) when my family visited from PA, it was so dead that we not only walked on to Spiderman, but the four of us got a car all to ourselves.
We've just had that kind of luck the last few years with crowds. Yesterday at Dorney we waited approximately 35 minutes for Talon. It's the longest I've stood in line for a ride since our Cedar Point Trip in 2000.
