Introduction | Attraction | Touring Tips | Kids/Characters | Dining | Shopping | Interesting Facts Storm Force Accelatron is located between The Incredible Hulk Coaster and Cafe 4 and can be easily missed due the crowds that gather for the The Hulk. Set back from the main walkway of this gleaming comic book city, this is Universal's pumped up version of the teacups at Magic Kingdom. Storm Force Accelatron -- Take a spin in a Power Orb designed by Professor Xavier and help Storm (super heroine from the X-Men) defeat the evil Magneto. As you enter the geodesic dome topped with a 20-foot lightning rod, you will learn that Storm, mistress of the weather, needs your help. The specially designed ride vehicles can convert human energy into electrical forces through the power of "cyclospin." By turning the wheel in the center of your power orb you can generate enough power to defeat Magneto. And of course, the faster you turn the center wheel, the faster you spin.
