  Roller coaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A standard full-circuit lift-powered coaster works like this: after leaving the boarding area (station), the train is pulled up with a chain or cable along the lift hill to the first peak of the coaster track.
Some coasters move back and forth along the same section of track; these roller coasters are called shuttles because of this motion and usually run the circuit once with riders moving forwards and then backwards through the same course.
Wooden coasters are fondly looked at by coaster enthusiasts for their more rough ride and "air-time" produced by negative G-forces when the coaster car reaches the top of some hills along the ride.

The high-speed cameras capture each of the eight rows of the coaster as it zooms past, so one of the frames is likely to have a good shot of you.

Both are great coasters but the first time I rode the Hulk was much more exciting than the first time I rode DD so I'll take the Hulk.
Even though i have never been on either i think that Hulk would be better cuz i've been on an inverted coaster like 7 time (Batman) so DD would be awesome but not as exciting...
Hulk on the other hand has a cool launch right into a zero g, intensity, mist tunnel, best 1st half of any coaster, and a decent second half that serves its purpose of just being fun, not intense.

You think you're just going to slowly go up while you think to yourself "hey, didn't i see this car shoot out of here, why are we going up so slow?" and then it happens so abruptly and you take off and shoot upside-down and down away.
after that, it's your typical inverted coaster, which is still fun, it's nice and smooth and has a few more twists and turns than most coasters.
But other than that, you should definitely ride the Incredible Hulk when you're at IOA to experience an amazing coaster w/so many surprises that it's worthy of being in any coaster enthusiast's top 10 lists.

The launch on Hulk is my favorite part as well, I'm just wondering out loud what a facefirst 200 foot drop underground is going to do to raise the bar.
But when you hear a Hyper diver coaster with 2 vertical drops is coming and it's a good 3 minute ride unlike the two other dive coasters out there you definitely get excited.

Our thoughts: This coaster looms over Marvel Super Hero Island, its many twists and loops easily visible from the whole area, and it passes beneath the sidewalk in one place, giving passers-by a close-up look at the riders' screaming faces.
After I rode it, I continued to be mesmermized by the ride, staring at the coasters and saying, "That's crazy!
I can't believe I did that!" The coaster gets shot out of a tube uphill at a 45 degree angle, and immediately goes into a twist and a flip.
