Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

Is there some reason they have the trees roped up still?

Is there some reason they have the trees roped up still?

Yes. It is because they are still doing work near its base. Spray painting the Kong sign, pouring concrete walkways etc. Those branches will hang way out once released and would be a nuisance to workers who must stand and do their jobs. Too, it is winter and Florida still has another few weeks of frost threat and the plant is already compromised by transplanting. Tying it up makes it easier to cover and protect.

Thank you Teebin.

A little more fun with this before all is said and done. I thought of another plant that should be spotted along the ride path away from the other landscape. It is called a ZOMBIE Palm Zombia antillarum.

I almost purchased one in Florida and then decided it wasn't the mood (go figure) I was looking for.

For any of the newer folks here, I am reposting this photoshoped concept art I created months ago. It will give you a closer idea of the size of the ride vehicles. They are much longer than in the concept art.

So roughly the size of the Great Movie Ride RV's??

As long as it's not this big:

Man those vehicles are super stretched!!! Talk about capacity. I predict This ride is gonna have no waits by this time next year. So awesome

7o-something people at once.... how many does a tour bus seat?

About 54

They said 72 at the announcement

Anyone see any stats on the length & width of the vehicle?

Lets see........ if we put the cars from Earthquake/Disaster on wheels..........now, where did we put those?

I believe the Orlando F&F is going to use the same vehicles as Kong, just a tad bit shorter. At least that's what I've heard.

or 50 average sized americans

 

[Teebin]

yeah, I am guessing that it will be 12 rows, 6 wide. That's kind of a guess... but a really really educated guess. I once knew, but I forgot what it is. :saywhat:

 

[Mad Dog]

or 50 average sized americans

Or 30 average sized Disney fans on the free dining plan.

Man this might have a zero wait day one!!! Universal is destroying it on the capacity and guest satisfaction from it. I can't be more happy

Not really... if it dispatches every 2 mins like teebs said previously that would put hourly at around 2100 which is around gringotts but this will have a lower height requirement. I don't ever seeing the line get huge but it should have respectable waits, especially being the only dry ride of note in that section of the park.

 

[Teebin]

^ That was just a guess on my part and not confirmed at all! I was just musing on what might be possible...

 

[bob albert]

Capacity would be limited by the length of the longest scene. I'm sure if it were a continuous ride the capacity would be insane.
