Not to mention, he still has aspirations to get that Haunted Mansion movie going.
Well, he's already said he probably won't direct that.

I love modern B&W films if used correctly.I could see him producing but not directing although they did hint at it in comic con. BTW is it really gonna be in B&W? That's kinda lame

Young Frankenstein and The Artist are high on my list of great films.
I dont think the queue will actually be underground because of how high Floridas water table is. I think thats just a theme idea, or it may be under the bulk of the rides showbuilding. But probably not under the actual ground.
Guys! The maintenance bay of transformers is at least 20-30ft underground. Not a problem at all. You also have to realize, that part of the park is built up a little when it was originally designed. That's why you walk up hill from Marvel to Toon. Think of it this way: What we're calling ground level in the KONG area is level with the RIPSAW FALLS bridge but the boats go under that bridge. Add the channel that the boats sit in you got at least 25 ft to play with. Which is 2 stories. There are deep trenches already dug in the area. And they could go a lot deeper if they wanted you just have to reinforce the walls like they did for transformers.

Transformers' basement is usually necessary infrastructure for any ride like that. So you gotta figure an underground queue would be IN ADDITION to the necessary TF-type basement.
I'm trying to think what ride type Kong will be? I hope not TF/Spidey type. Maybe an indoor coaster/dark ride like Mummy.
No, think something in similar concept to the first one, not-suspended of course, and not in NYC.
I was doubting a 2015 opening for Kong, but looking @ Transformers, I think it could be done. Cranes could be on site as early as August 11.
They could still use the area as free promo for the movie and then the movie comes out and you can tie in sweepstakes etc...with the area. Its smart in my opinion to open the land first then the movie. Kinda like what Disney did with Tower of Terror and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Well, the pirates ride did open first. :shrug:seriously... SERIOUSLY. Pirates... the ride that opened 36 years before the movie... WAIT WHAT??? #imsodone #facepalm
This will have plenty of screens. When universal pitched "where you ride the movies" back in the day. I wonder if they knew eventually this marketing slogan would come true

My understanding is that it'll be screens in the way of instead of painted flats. Imagine if the Tarzan part of GMR had a deep 3D jungle effect instead of a blue painted sky. (with better AAs of course)
