King Kong Speculation Thread

[JungleSkip]

Now that I think about it my bets are on
-city walk update
- first horror nights house (video shot in the VIP room)
- kong
When is the announcement happening by the way? If it's a couple days after potter opens or before then I don't think we will get anything big

It's during the Cabana Bay/Potter media blowout

Ah then I have no idea, either or at this point but if this is a look into the future then I'm sure we will get something worthwhile and important....possibly a teaser?

That was MY RIDE at IOA when I was a little kid! As an annual pass holder, going out there and riding that thing 5-6 times in a row because it would only have a 5 minute wait

Me too! Popeye and Dudley are my favorite! I always seem to have the most fun on those rides!

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

I think they are going to announce the PolerCoaster!

Forgive me if I'm super behind but when are all these announcements happening? Like is there a major press event soon? Where there will be special announcements? And PolerCoaster?!

I think they are going to announce the PolerCoaster!

Actually, they (sort of) announced it was going to I-Drive somewhere a few weeks ago. When the guy from the company building the PolerCoaster was the victim of a home invasion (by ninjas) a couple of weeks ago, they offhandedly mentioned in the story on WESH that he was the "man behind the PolerCoaster, soon to be installed on I-Drive"

Btw, going back on some rumors I think I read on this site, Will we be getting a Kong AA?

Sounds like it. I'm keeping my hopes very low on this one, not that I don't expect one I just don't expect a full body moving one. Possibly a static head with a strobe and a full AA torso to his head. I'm sure we will get a bunch of bug and bat AAs so the blow will be softened. Also just want to clarify I don't know anything. Pure speculation here

I've been told the ride wouldn't have been approved without it.

Ok awesome, I hope it has simple mechanics and movements so it doesn't get busted in a year or two. I'm mostly excited for the bugs anyways. Also do any of you know how dark the ride is going to be? From one to dinosaur

Im sure there will be scenes just as dark as the cabin scene in jaws

This ride should have express pass right?

I don't expect it to be very dynamic. Probably just some head/face movements.

yep, I can see it as just some arm and face movement like the last kong.

Don't worry Disney fan boys will let us know whats wrong with it once we take a first look :ears: :kingkong:

Ok cool that's where my expectations were. This ride is going to be awesome

That sounds about right, I'm expecting the scene in the bat cave to be dark but apparently everything else will be in the day time including the ride video so that's promising. Just don't want it to be pitch black. Also yeah I'm pretty sure it'll have a express line because the ride vehicle isn't limited like pottah. It's still a tram right?

I'd expect Kong to be announced next month and the announcement of Kidzone's closure (not replacement yet).

 

[Disneyhead]

As far as the announcement, I think it will be more CityWalk changes and a hint at Kong,

What else would there be to announce? More store closures? I'm confused, already thought they did all of that earlier this year

NBA City and NASCAR Cafe replacements.

 

[Brian G.]

Probably something about DC Land too.

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

I actually like NASCAR Café but NBA City needs to go.

NBA City and NASCAR Cafe replacements.

Ahh ok, hopefully more ridiculously unique restaurants, those places are seriously one of the best things about the resort now
