This is apparently way scarier than jaws, really saying something there. I'm also sure 3D will play a lot with kids too since most parents usually avoid 3D rides for children under 4 or 5

It's Tough To be A Bug really set me the wrong way. I WILL NEVER do that attraction again personally, but in no way shape or form is that Child abuse or any other ride at Disney. That is just.....yeah...
I know a Bunch of Adults and young teens that were afraid of Jaws and would never ride it again.

I think stitch is child abuse but to each their own
that rides visuals are terrifying. To an unexpecting kid, it could be pretty traumatizing seeing that shark just jump out of the water, especially in the boathouse good lord. I saw the movie in kindergarten so it was never too awful to me, but I remember going on the ride for the first time with a bunch of kids, there wasn't a dry eye between any of them
Stitch is also "Adult abuse". Criminal court judges can use it for sentencing. 30 days in jail or 30 trips on Stitch. Easy choice. I choose jail.

Even as a teenager, I found Jaws to be relentlessly silly, if not impressive in it's own way. But it still scared me, every single ride.
Not really. I see many kids on 3D stuff and we never avoided them.
I am seeing from this post I just don't scare easily, so maybe I am not a good judge of what is scary and what my child should or should not ride lol
Well i have nothing further to say what theme park attraction is child abuse. I use to watch Lilo and Stitch daily after school wo while the attraction is werid I think Disney shorted him and Lilo big time. They went Sci Fi instead of Hawaii and there is a ton of Sci Fi things that can ne creepy to people in general because it is something in which we are still learning about.
Jaws:
Well you mentioned Kong will be much more scarier than Jaws, could the difference be Jaws wasn't in 3D?
When you have real anamatronics and a skipper and real water a boat etc, your focus and alertness is much higher than doing anything with 3d glasses and a screen or a few. I'm not so sure i would say that kong is more scarier than Jaws. People also fear sharks naturally so you can imagine a ton of people nor being thrilled with a real or fake shark that big and close to the ride lol..

Yes, you will wait in a moving line of people for a number of minutes, and then you will board the attraction.

It will be like your walking through Skull Island, during the Reign of Kong. Jack Black will be filming you as you wind your way through spider webs, skulls on sticks, natives with sharp spears, and the occasional tourist who stands there with their big giant iPhone the size of Kong's fist taking a selfie.
Alien encounter was by far the scariest attraction ever and that was as sci fi as you can get. it was basically a medieval torture device, locked in a seat through your shoulders as a blood thirsty alien murders people around you. I mean the ride had simulated blood that would splatter on your face!!! Stitch is slightly below the level of AE but no kid should have to go through that, it's traumatising.
But back to topic, Kong has a lot more elements that can put it head and toes scarier than jaws. It's not only going to be only screens either. There will apparently be tons of animatronics and sets too. Jaws was more psychological than anything else, this is gonna be in your face scary. I mean the 2005 Kong is far from a walk in the park. Those natives are terrifying and what's worse than a giant shark? Giant bugs. I've seen grown man wimper over cockroaches and spiders, a giant one that's in your face will be sure to get a reaction out of the bravest souls. I consider the bug pit scene to be one of the eeriest, disgusting, scariest, horrifying and unrelenting scenes in film history. Talk about a watchable nightmare, the fact they are recreating that is....oh hell no lol. But yeah I think Kong will do just fine, 3D and so on

I say...manage your expectations.
Child abuse is "It's A Small World". No wait, that's adult abuse! LOL!!
Oh trust me I am, the there are apparently only three screens including a 360. That shouldn't take up the full 5-6 minutes. Positive there will be 2-3 good ones not including kong, I'm sure there will be a lot of sets too. I'm not putting anything past universal at this point but with the stuff we've heard about so far, a man can dream
lol, that doesn't sound like managing expectations as much as setting the bar really high
It's a mix of both, will not let myself get gringotts disappointed again trust me lollol, that doesn't sound like managing expectations as much as setting the bar really high
I never got a chance to do Alien Encounter but sounds awesome. The old Kong terrified me. The Anamatronic, the fire, the cable car. But it was absolutely the best physical attraction created IMO.
I think we need a balance of attractions like that in theme parks even Disney.
I tell you this too Raptor Encounter freaks me out. I dont like it. Cool concept but something I'll never personally do.
I do hope Kong is intense. I love intensity as far as ride scenes.
Can you elaborate on why it freaks you out? Delve into the details that bother you?
