Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

Ok, I can't take the guessing any longer. I figure this isn't going to spoil any of the surprises so I am going for it.

This isn't sorta the ride path, this is absolutely the ride path:

I give my guess a B+.

Tebbin, how do you know?

Tebbin, how do you know?

Ummm, I'm psychic... ? :look:

Shouldn't there be another line for the "rain path", or did they scrap that idea?

If they do have it, it would be here.

It's there... just connect the curves in and out of the building. Only a slight curve to it.

If they do have it, it would be here.

That's basically it!

Am I the only one who finds the ride path a little underwhelming.....

Well keep in mind that the vehicles are smaller than USH, and the ride is close 6 to minutes long.

It's not about the start or end, or the path....

It's about the journey.

Or whatever that cheesy quote my coffee table book tells me.

Oh god, this post is giving me Gringotts pre-opening complaint flashbacks!

I think you know the same way that I know you are correct but what I don't know is what will be in the rest of the building?

With how immersive UC has been with the queues I can only speculate that you will have to negotiate all those mask wearing TMs they are auditioning on your way to the RV load. Could be good things inside that make the waiting more interesting.

Well this is short ride path for such a long ride time . I have really truly underestimated the sheer size of this project.

 

[Fatality]

Correct. Because the gringotts track is underwhelming... The experience itself is not.

Debatable.

 

[Brian G.]

A big part of the experience is the mystery that awaits beyond the gate as you approach it. Don't toss it aside because we're used to seeing it now.

 

[Mad Dog]

And let's not underestimate how cool it's going to be to experience the sensation of going outside and then back inside. Not too many attractions of this caliber have that experience. That's one of the things that make Radiator Springs & Test Track memorable, though they do it opposite.

I can't believe anyone is getting anything from a ride path. We know it is a slow moving vehicle, why does ride path matter? It could be a circle for all I care about. It is what is going on around that vehicle that matters, not the ride path. Sheesh!

Good point. And I match your Sheesh! with a Double Sheesh! :agree:

Because there always has to be something wrong.

I...what? Who cares about the former if the latter is great?

Well it is a keen observation from a photo provided. Nobody is saying the Observation is correct or incorrect but for the size of the building the ride path looks short from what we have seen so far. Meaning I hope the slow moving experience is thrilling. Well at least that is what I gathered. Usually duration of a ride means slow moving or long path so many were probably thinking long path, and now may be shocked by the fact it could be slow moving. Either way guest win!

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at. The people behind the ride have called it the longest at the resort, or close to that effect. The size of the building is necessary due to the size of the sets, screens, and figures in use. The scenes are BIG. There's not a lot of track, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot in the building.

Not quite sure what you're gathering either. To each their own.
