I thought only the last top portion of Incredible Hulk was tunneled.

The whole lift is enclosed from the station to just before the zero g roll. All of the tires are covered by the tunnel.

but rain can still go in an angled tunnel...

It's not going to get on the tires and affect their grip on the bottom of the train. It will just drip down the bottm of the tube.

If I recall properly, some of Schwarzkopf's European portables (and Zierer's) use a fin under the cars and pinch rollers (tires) to pull them up the lift hill. Gadget's Go Coaster at Mickey's Toontown at DL has this system, as does Jaguar at Knotts.

tires wear down after a while, that's a proven fact, they would just throw the tires away, they burn those tires and that causes pollution, they are just thinking of the people. your welcome

But they still sell chili dogs that make visitors break wind. What's so non-polluting and earth-friendly 'bout that?
