Is the ride itself scary ?

Yeah transformers is at 6, then mib

Super immersive, like even more than Gringotts, never felt more "in the setting" than on this

Man this pleases me so much.

How many rooms are in the queue?

They took us a very strange way though the queue using both the single rider and regular lines so I definitely didn't get a proper queue experience. Say 2-3 rooms with lots of confusing passages between them. Favorite room was with the AA witch, very cool fake fire effects in there

Is the ride itself scary ?

Not really, queue is definitely going to give people some jump scares but the ride really won't be scary for most adults, kids might be scared though, lots of bugs, creatures and loud noises. People might find it "gross" though. Lots of bug guts and animal slobber simulated with water. More so than on any other attractions

 

[kearns96]

I'm going to do a whole write up on the ride scene by scene later tonight. I'll post it here in a few hours

 

[Talking Head]

I'm most curious to hear roughly what percentage of the ride is screens-based.

Wondering if this ride will be more popular with people who love Gringotts.

How is the Kong AA?

How is the Kong AA?

Absolutely breathtaking, if this ride is going to be known for anything, it'll be for stepping up the AA game. Even his breath smells like gorilla, it's hard to describe but if you've ever been to a gorilla habitat at a zoo, you'll recognize it immediately

I'll talk more about this in my write up. As far as scenes with screens it's 3/6. I'm counting the outside area plus any time the ride vehicle slows or stops as a scene

How was the bug pit scene?

 

[kearns96]

How was the bug pit scene?

From what aspect?

 

[kearns96]

Yeah definitely a hint of poop haha, but it doesn't smell bad, just gorilla-y

Do the screen scenes have anything around them? Sets in front of the screens or rock work?

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

From what aspect?

How is the ride movement and does it have seatbelts?

 

[kearns96]

Definitely, the sides of the screens are incredibly well blended into the set. The bottoms are either blended or hidden behind a low wall that rises to just above the floor level of the vehicle. The wall in the bug pit scene is well themed. Not so much in the 360 screen, I'd go as far to say they are a bit of an eyesore, but it's necessary because that's where are the wind and water effects are hidden. The tops are fairly well hidden except in the 360 scene due to the fact that the room is so bright due to the large screens, but you can only see the top if you are in an edge seat

 

[kearns96]

How is the ride movement and does it have seatbelts?

2 motion base scenes, bug pit and 360. Not too much movement in the pit scene but very movements in the 360. Tossed me around a lot. No seatbelts, side doors are pretty cool, they are automatic unlike jaws and they are hinged about 2/3 the way down. They use magnetic locks to latch to the ride vehicle
