And that is a hoot!
Saw Seths video, mercy Mike West was strutting around like a proud peacock. Strutting, after a 39 day DELAY! I guess that is better than moping. How long was it open for, 1 hour?

Judging only by the Inside The Magic ride thru....not trying to be "that guy" but eh....the Kong AA is impressive but overall...eh.

With all the publicity surrounding the AA having "personality, etc." I guess I expected the AA to look more, I dunno, animated or something. From the videos, the queue AAs look more impressive.

I agree. The overall ride is ehhh. It looks good but not amazing. I watched a periscope and the guy asked his group that rode what they thought and they said, it's okay.

Spider Man looks kind of dull on video. You really need to ride to feel the entire experience. I expect the same holds true here.
Hate to be a downer but boy this looks kind of disappointing. I know this topic is considered a "dead horse" but the over reliance on screens in attractions these days is getting to be crazy. Also disappointed that Kong AA just kind of sits in a diorama for the car to look at without any real interaction going on. I'm sure it's more impressive IRL but was hoping for more.

People judging the ride based on a youtube video shows more about them than the attraction.

People complaining about screens are hypocritical Disney fans yet when Star Wars comes they are gonna praise it even though it has screens
While it's unfortunate that I'm not able to ride the attraction myself right at this moment, I'd say a YouTube video is at least a decent representation of what is contained in the ride, no? Of course viewing and feeling are entirely different experiences, but at least for having the knowledge of what an attraction and its ride-length entails, I think it's reasonable to judge those elements based on a YouTube video.

Oh because I'm supposed to watch the video and have no thoughts about it. You making that comment just shows more about you. Lmao
This is why I said June 10th would be a good day. Like an unofficial confirmation.
YouTube is an excellent way to base a decision off something you can not experience. Making an observation is a good thing. Passing an observation as a keen concrete biasedness isn't very fitting at all. I appreciate YouTube especially with theme parks. Makes things so much easier to recognize when you do visit somewhere that is unfamiliar.

The experience is completely different in person than on any of the videos I've seen so far
Wow, it's been quite a ride with you, my friends. Can't wait to get up there and ride this bad boy for myself. I feel so happy (and admittedly, a bit jealous) for all you lucky ones who are able to ride it right now.
