So according to what I've heard from other attractions TM's in kong, don't expect softs any time before May 1st, thats when control booth trained personnel begin being scheduled.
your forgetting grad venture follows right after gradbashSomething to think about.
Would universal be dumb enough to take the walls down before Grad Bash is over? Next Saturday night is the last Bash. I'd think they'd be too worried about kids "scratching the new paint job."
My day there is just 5 days later. Man I'm cutting it close.So according to what I've heard from other attractions TM's in kong, don't expect softs any time before May 1st, thats when control booth trained personnel begin being scheduled.
It's special prayers ray: & finger crossing time for many of us. We should be OK unless some new unexpected problem pops up. I would think May 1st is a threshold date for them.My day there is just 5 days later. Man I'm cutting it close.
Nothing to do with either film. Just some look similarities. This is it's own thing. Softs (technical testing partial opening) have not started yet.I've a question. Sorry if it's been asked before, but here goes. Are softs open? Kidding.
What version of Kong will this be? The advertising is for Jackson's version, but the title is very similar to the upcoming 2017 film. So will the 2017 film look like Jackson's Kong? Or will this reflect the new film and give us an insight into their Kong? It seems weird to link it in title, but not in version of Kong!

Oh I was kidding about softs, I saw that was a regular ask!
Oh it's not even related to the new film? So new Kong entirely?
There are elements culled from Jackson's Kong here and there, but it's mostly its own thing.
My understanding is that it is in the Kong mythos as a whole but prior to the film story as we know it.
The film story that has been remade a few times is crazy director, damsel, island, giant ape, New York, chaos.
This ride is within that repeated mythos before the film crew trip to the island. Where the new film exists on the timeline is something I don't personally know.
Picking a random genre for comparison - think of the Mario games. Basic story that's retold is King Koopa kidnaps the princess and Mario goes to save her. In the randomly created stand alone Yoshi game, it's meant to be before Yoshi meets Mario.
Same universe and mythos, different period of time. Not necessarily the same rendition.
First day in the parks Sunday morning May 8th (arriving May 7). Now that Thurs. would be a perfect fit. :thumbsup:I'm going to take a guess and say softs start May 5, Universal loves Thursday openings.
From what it seems on USHForums; they are aiming to have the walls down by Thursday, and hoping to have the ride soft open before the park closes on Friday.
There will be Team Member previews before anyone else rides. Until we see TM previews scheduled, there won't be any softs before that.
