King Kong Speculation Thread

[RonaldsModernLife]

To be more precise, in the treasure room, if you look to your left, it will be on the upper right side of the diorama.

It looks like this:

FINALLY! I've been looking forever for that guy :kingkong:

I'm not big on the whole Tour Guide thing, either. Too many variables. I hate the idea that a TM can directly affect the ride experience. Sure, its great when you get a good one, but it can really blow when you get one who is sub-par, hard to understand, having a bad day, trying to be too clever, just isn't into it, etc.

The problem is Universal paying near entry-level wages and expecting amazing actors. The talent is just not there at that compensation level.

I'm sure you never saw a T2 show and thought the actors phoned it in. It's because they are getting paid quadruple what a JAWS spieler was.

I can tell you that this job would be a dream job haha. Oh baby I could have some fun being a tour guide.

After a month of 8+ hour work days that may be a different story..

I say, no tour guides

 

[JungleSkip]

Give me live spielers all day, every day. Even ones people say are "bad" are better than a prerecorded voice.

Personal touch all the way

Live guide + 1 billion

I haven't been on here in awhile so sorry for asking, but when is Kong/Skull Island supposed to open by?

 

[neoshinok]

EMV's...that stands for Enhanced Motion Vehicle, no? Which means the car isnt just a GMR moving theatre-style vehicle, but a roving simulator a la Indiana Jones, right? If this is the case, I an extremely excited.

I thought it was planned as actual vehicles to be driven through the path, as a cost saving and reliability measure. EMV would be better, no doubt. As for the tour guide I'm good either way. With a live guide, you'll at least be guaranteed variety. Of course this means some guides will suck, but the good ones will really stand out. :kingkong:

That is an excellent question to which nobody who doesn't have inside sources can really know the answer for sure. So far, it doesn't even seem like we even know the year it'll be open with certainty

I wouldn't be surprised if they have steel up by September or October. What do you guys think?

I took a long look from the tower of Camp Jurassic 2 days ago, and in my opinion I think we could see vertical construction within 30 days. Please note thats NOT inside info or fact just merely my assumption based on the site in its present form.

Late September early October we should see vertical. Unless a Hurricane decides to come.

 

[HiredDemise]

I will take that bet thatfloridadude I predict a hurricane late September or early october

Legendary just announced a Skull Island movie will be coming out November 4, 2016. Think that they delayed it so it'll be closer to the reboot?

Oh god yes!!! Possibly you never know. Could be a legendary park project aswell. Also you never know, if skull island is a massive hit they could easily take down toon lagoon and retheme the water rides and area to skull island with kong being the big ride at the end of the road

Nah. They'll just get a double hit.

 

[quinnmac000]

Was this planned? To do a skull Island movie and a land together? Or was this film last minute?

How often do these movies actually get released on time nowadays? If they delay a year for the movie which ends up getting pushed back another year, theyve just lost a year of revenue.

Yeah if this thing was getting pushed back to 2016 then it makes more sense with a new movie coming out. But still...the film is Nov 2016 (if it isn't delayed.) Will it open in the summer before that, later with the film or what?

Still hoping for 2015.
