Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Teebin]

The Park gates still exist on the Potter side, but not on the Kong side. So if anything, it feels as if you're walking into Jurassic Park, and that Skull Island just happens to be a neighboring island.

And that is a positive light to put it in. JW had one thing right... some people are bored with real dinosaurs.

I mean JP and skull island are both tropical places filled with giant creatures and dinosaur so it Dosnt really bother me about how close they are because it's the same environment basically

They go hand and hand if you ask me

I honestly would have rather seen that side go and the other one stay. If your walking in that way you can see Hogwarts Castle through the gates. Hogwarts doesn't look right inside Jurassic Park.

I'm just so relieved there's no touchy effect on your legs in the bug pit scene.

There isn't? Darn

Spoiler

Lol jk

Yes, that really means nothing. The article is just speculation and not fact. We have no clue if parents will complain. I think the only way I see something changing is if they didn't consider the child swap situations. If they considered that, I see no reason for complaints.

Ohh they will complain. It's what they do.
The same people who complain that 500 pound people can't fit on gringotts.

Their soundtracks sure don't!

At this point, I think I would stand outside and WAIT for a family with a 5 yo to enter the queue... I would then pull in behind them and watch the issues ensue. (I am a dark assed frig... sorry)

Plus now they really do have King Kong in there

Yes now I will agree that must be fixed

Now I just want a Jeff Goldblum face character walking around out front saying that.

How did they end up blending the existing path into the new floor? Does it have the same texture or is there a noticeable seam?

A noticeable seam. The concrete changes color.

Thanks... they are trying to imitate the oasis at AK. Good luck Tina. Those are on top of horizontal branches or crotches of trees... not pasted to a smooth palm tree.

(Goodness, I am full of attitude, chutzpah and opinion the past few days)

A few years ago at F$G at EPCoT they had about 100 on the trees between Mexico and Norway on the access road. Looked great, all different kinds.

Epcot has thousands of them...

Hey this is slightly off-topic but I noticed earlier that somebody said that the Jurassic Park archway isn't being put back up, like ever. Is this true? I feel like that entrance is one of the biggest monuments of IOA and it seems odd not having them there in some capacity. I thought when they were taken down that they were going to rework the entrance to JP so they could go back.

Another Tidbit. There is a glaringly odd protocol at load and unload that will have you scratching your head and asking yourself "why?" However it could be something they can sell as merchandise.

lol glaringly odd or very off putting...

Yep, I told everyone here a year ago... it is gonzo.
