I think when a lot of you guys are hearing "scare actors, " you're immediately thinking "hides behind a wall and jumps out at you." I doubt it will be like this. As people have pointed out, that's more HHN territory. But, I can see roaming actors in the queue. Not necessarily hiding and jumping out at you, but more as a way to add ambiance and theming to the queue.

the first time I rode DD (way back in the day), they had a Merlin/Wizard Actor walking around the outside queue. we took a couple of pics even.
This description and that fact it was marked as Teen/Adult is what started this whole conversation of how would general families deal with a scary ride like this.
I have already told everyone here that the HHN team is involved in this queue to some degree.
Here are some pictures from my recent visit. The place is feeling more and more cohesive every time I see it, especially now with the Kong arch painted. Plus, they painted the left-side of the building, facing the employee access road, so that blends in better too. You can see lots of more photos on my blog as well.
That's all for now. Much more pics are here.
I'm really hoping they do a photo spot as you're leaving the ride, same as they did for Kongfrontation, where you get your picture taken in the grasp of Kong. The exit path looks really tall and big enough to do something special. Fingers crossed.

I'm glad they're painting the building so we don't have to go on for pages about it 
How amazing would it be if a "mini-maze" haunted attraction existed after some queue, RIGHT before the ride, and the tram is your "escape" vehicle.
It would ssentially be a pre-show, but instead a pre-house. I know this is completely blue sky but I love the idea.

Just think. We're only four or five months away from being able to experience this awesome attraction. It just seems like the other day when HTF posted his long description of the attraction here on OU. Time certainly flies.
I was just thinking about this the other day, too. It seems like too good an opportunity to pass up. I loved the old Kongfrontation photo op; my parents, however, hated it because I made them buy me a new picture every time we visited.

My big concern with this ride all rests on the Kong animatronic. Animatronic's are always difficult, and this one seems to be cutting edge. Would the ride be able to run if there are serious issues?
We saw how Disney failed on EE with the Yeti, but at least the ride is still able to run in "disco" mode. Would it even be possible for Kong?

If they managed to run Kongfrontation for so long, I don't doubt they will be able to here.
The big problem with the Yeti is that most people don't realise it's actually broke and it's not an easy fix. The ride and mountain was basically built on top of it, so it's not like they can build a new one and simply move it in one night.
I want the first 52 seconds of this playing on the ride up to the temple soooooooo badly. Talk about setting the mood.
So, what do we have to look forward to now... mostly construction. We've seen pretty much all that Kong will be showing for a while.
So immediate construction wise we have
Hulk track out front and what in hell with they do with the old facade?
Volcano Bay reaching 1/4 of the way up
Fallon being Rock themed
F&F but that will be so so boring for a long long time to come
What else is potentially immediate?
Sorry, I'm really really bored...

I didn't mention that because I have no dates yet. It's still hanging out there in the ether of UC.
Fair enough...How about that new little shed like building next to Despicable Me. What's that for? When will it be completed? Are they putting a new Frozen attraction in there?.....
Inquiring minds want to know. 
I got your kidding but... I believe that shed is simply housing some additional back of house stuff for DM:MMFair enough...How about that new little shed like building next to Despicable Me. What's that for? When will it be completed? Are they putting a new Frozen attraction in there?.....
