ah, gotcha. I thought they were saying the worst ride in Islands for a second, I don't know why.

I stg if one more person talks bad on Doom :box:
Dr. Doom stinks!! Real bad!!!
I should state that I haven't ridden it but just wanted to double-dog dare you.
Having finally experienced Kong, I liked it. I liked it better than several of Universal Studios ride. The setting is cool and the motion screens were fun.

I think Kong is more effective than most screen-based rides thanks to supers 3-D and crystal clear images, combined with the HFR and the overall setup.

Honestly, with the roof projections working, the 360 scene is super convincing...Like I've said before, the awfulness of F&F has made me appreciate Kong

Maybe Skull Island reign of Kong will eventually get HPTFJ treatment with a 4K screen ditch the 3D glasses you never know. Like 10-15 years from now if people some not all are complaining about the 3D glasses.
I’m going to take a guess that something like that stops once it spreads on the internet similar to saying “Andy’s coming” to the Toy Story characters.
Was finally able to ride Kong a good number of times in the dark since IOA was finally opened late. I had about seven night rides while I was at Universal the past 10 days. Wow, that outside opening scene is great in the deep dark. Excellent set up for the rest of the ride. The closest I had to pure darkness was a late twilight ride the other year.
The ride and the area in general is much better at night.
First time we have been able to enjoy IOA in the dark for more than a few minutes, since they only kept it open late during peak periods in the past. The park is absolutely stunning after dark, as are many of the rides. JPRA, Reign of Kong, Camp Jurassic, Hogsmeade, and even Seuss Trolley are exceptional in the dark, as is the Hulk. And the Hogwarts Castle show was tremendous, even though it was a tad short. Huge crowds were constantly in Hogsmeade to experience that really good show. Disney caliber for sure. Can't wait to see the Christmas Hogwarts night show when we come in December, and that's a few minutes longer. Five thumbs up for IOA in the dark. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Did you go behind the Discovery center and look out over the lagoon? Quite a sight.
We actually had a coke out on the terrace seating area twice, it's that good. Yes, you are absolutely correct. Best view of the park.

What's up, Stranger? I've been gone so long that I couldn't log into my account on the new site, so I had to recreate one. :wave:
Glad to hear you got to experience that! That was one of my bigger disappointments last time I went, but it seems like the resort is moving in the right direction. IoA just seems like it would be spectacular in the dark, unfortunately I've never visited in peak season so I've yet to see it (for more than a few minutes).
