What are those sprockety towers they have installed on the temple? The concept art doesn't show them.
I believe those are lighting rods, seen in the film.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is the tops of the long ladderesqe contraption the natives used to attach, swing and lower Ms. Darrow across the gap during the sacrifice scene. Probably totally off though.
Edit: Alexshow may be right. I looked up photos of the temple during the sacrifice scene and those rods are present on top, with the contraption I was talking about being just lower on the other side.

At best; the 360 portion is a two minute portion. But due to the longer ride besides the 360, it might be possible to expect the entire attraction to clock in for five minutes for This version due to a lot of factors..
Universal executives are on record as saying this will be the longest attraction in the park. So it will certainly be more than 5 minutes.
I don't think there will really be any elements of Kong 360 in this version, from what I know about what Teebs has said. He's said that the rides 3D elements should practically merge in with the physical sets to make it hard to tell the two apart.
Teebin also said that the 360 room in this attraction will be extremely similar to the Hollywood film (excluding some certain elements..)
No no no no no... I said there are a lot of big wonderful sets with two smaller screens built into them at a separate places. The near end is a mega huge screen surrounding both sides of the vehicle, just like 360. As the vehicles are shorter than three Hollywood trams, I can only imagine that the screens aren't quite as long as Hollywood as that would be a waste.
Ohhhh ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm really starting to get this confused with all the little tidbits you drop us

I suppose you are generally correct. But sheetrock hangers, concept designers, concrete specialists, electronics designers, and effects pros etc. seems a hinky mix unless they hang out separately from each other.
Surely each vehicle won't be powered by a diesel engine, right? I'm guessing these will be electrically powered RVs?
That's great to hear about the size of the screens, with how long they were in 360 it was hard to focus on one thing while in the back or something. This seems like it'll be a perfect fit. Also didn't they say the ride was 7 minutes? That's ridiculous if so
Universal exec. said it would be the longest ride in the parks, but they didn't give a time. So if you look at the ride times of the other attractions it would be at least 7-8 minutes and perhaps longer.
