It is slang / cursing to indicate the person "really" thought it would be interesting to see. It doesn't have to mean great/good. For example: "That was a hell of a ride." (After riding in a safari). "I'm having a hell of a day." (After having an intensely good or intensely bad day). "It would have been a hell of a thing to see" refers to missing but wanting to see something extreme: seeing a rocketship blast off, seeing a lion, etc.
