But that great "Go Right" tip has been posted a couple dozen times in the last two months on both threads, many within the more recent pages. And the other Kong thread isn't many pages.600 pages here on Kong, lots to sift through.
Having the first few rows facing backwards would've been a great way to deal with this. They would've missed the first sight of Kong at the end but his last animation would've been in perfect view to compensate.Haven't been on this yet, but it really sounds like they shouldn't use the front row or maybe they should have put the first two rows facing backwards?
You take the car number, add the number of motion bases that aren't working, and then subtract by the number of people complaining when you leave the ride. Then you should get your number.
While tips are nice, 99% of visitors are not on message boards or anything like that to where they would know to "go right". So this is not a problem of people not keeping up, Universal has to take the fall for this one. They are the ones that decided having people face what pretty much equates to a wall for the entire ride was to make a good ride experience.There were numerous OU posters on both Kong threads that gave the "go right" tip early on. Good ride info is available if readers keep up with the threads. It helps to avoid bad experiences.

When I first posted that going right was the most important thing I learned, I should have clarified it was the most important thing I learned reading this thread.
It is likely that every day there are new people to this forum. Never hurts to point out some of the best tips and information from time to time.I'm glad you brought it up again, because when you said it was the first time I saw it. And I'm sure not going to search through 600 pages. hahaha.

Like the Christmas overlay Kong will get every year?I probably missed the other updates during my "no spoilers" sabbatical.

Just kidding.
IDK if posted but rode today and saw how Express works in queue.
Express and Single Riders use the same line. In the witch room, the Express queue now merges in the last switchback of the regular line while Single riders continue on like normal.
It depends on the time of day. EPA and the first hour or so of the park being will just have Express going straight through the single riders line.2 days ago I went and pretty much bypassed all the queue stuff all together. Just walked past the witch room without going in. But today it was different. Went into the witch room to the front of it right away and then into the room with the big slug thing.

I rode ROK for the first time on Monday and on the 360 part, there was this black fence on the left side. Is that normal? If it is that really sucks.
They put me in the front row and I asked them to move me and the castmember put me towards the back.
This ride seems to be a lot like Gringotts', where seating gives you a different experience. This is going to be one of those attractions, like Gringotts', that get's more enjoyable the more you ride it. And that's the way great rides are.Yep makes sense. Went on at around 1:00 in the afternoon on Express and went through the regular part with the witch, slug etc. Posted wait time was 60 minutes, waited maybe 20. There were a lot of scared/crying kids too.
I gotta say, I was underwhelmed by Kong my first go around on it. I was in the front row. But I grew to like it even more each time I rode. My last ride today I was in the 2nd to last row and that was by far my best time on it. I'm sure this stuff was discussed but I was trying to avoid spoilers.
