Have they opened the Express line yet? Or is it still just Regular and Single Riders? Thinking about heading up for Labor Day weekend and would most likely stay on-site to use Express.

Last time I checked they were not using the express line yet. Express line does not show up as an option for Kong on the app. It does show up as an option for Hulk.
Interesting, didn't think those two attractions shared the same riders
I thought I heard someone mention that they won't be doing Express for the foreseeable future?
Well the current single rider line will eventually be the express line and the exit re ride line will be the single rider line. I think.Interesting, didn't think those two attractions shared the same riders

You may be on to something. CITH and Poseidon's Fury wait times have been lower than their historical levels since Kong opened. The park may be more left handed entrance oriented than previously.........Before Hulk opened Doom had pretty long lines. So if Doom is down a bit, it may be somewhat due to Hulk opening.
If they would restore the spinning to CITH, and a slight refurb, it would be fine.
Remember that Kong is a family friendly ride. Almost anyone can ride. The only ride a lower height requirement is ET. If it pulls away even a small amount of guests from the family friendly rides it has a big effect. Many of those rides are low capacity.
Little kids issues with the seating safety or something along those lines.
There were incidents with the spinning, not to mention lots of lost items. Personally, I hate spinning in rides so I am glad to see it toned down.

I do think it alienated a lot of crowds. For example, my mom can't ride rides that spin at all. When I was much younger at IOA, she practically couldn't ride a thing. The least they could do is make the only family dark ride accessible to everybody.

That's a very different situation. If Men In Black was in the kid's area of the park and was the only family-friendly dark ride in USF, they probably would have removed spinning there too. (But yeah, that's another reason I want Universal to add more slow-moving dark rides. I know a lot of people who get easily motion-sick and can't ride things that spin/shake/drop/etc. They have no reason to go to Universal whatsoever. And I do feel like adding more slow-moving dark rides could really help attract that crowd.)
