Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[anihilnation]

Love the ledge with skulls!

 

[Mad Dog]

Skulls on the ledge are so cool. (posted simultaneously with Anihilnation)). Shows how that stands out.

Thanks Briman! Those small white cylinders on top of the rocks have to be wireless communicators. There is a reason they may have needed more than that originally planned for.

that single cam show with the reporter is incredibly cheesy. Is this what will be playing while we wait in line? I hope not.

What!? It's so fun.

And no. The ride is set in the 1930s. She's discovering what happened to the expedition we're supposed to be on in the ride

Figured they help with positioning of the vehicles, just hope they theme them more as they stick out like a sore thumb.

So you did have enough light to see into the queue area

So you did have enough light to see into the queue area

Haha that was you!

Thru the lends I didn't but after a run through photoshop it cleared it up.

Something extra added to the ride, or the amount of metal used in the area interfering with communication?


As an aside, I noticed it in the helicopter pictures but again in those pictures BriMan just took, the background facade with the fog slightly bothers me that it randomly seems to end. Is there any reason they didn't fully paint fog over the trees, or at least fade it out better? It abruptly ends.

It's meant to denote depth, and it works pretty well in person. The non-fogged trees are "closer" to you and the fogged stuff is further inland

 

[Parkscope Joe]

We have fire...

 

[UNIrd]

OMG.. Why was THAT not in the promo pic?

 

[LieutLaww]

They are certainly going all out with the themeing for this attraction, when I was looking at it in Sept it was showing potential but now damn !

 

[Teebin]

the amount of metal used in the area interfering with communication?

a suspected issue, yes.

 

[Teebin]

Same height requirement as Cat in the Hat. So many kids are gonna get destroyed by this ride. Haha

They released the height requirements already?

 

[Tylereapple]

They released the height requirements already?

Yeah. They announced it when they announced the ride itself. Mike West says it in this video at 1:20

 

[Mad Dog]

West's video above 34" but the Universal site adds, "Best for Teens & Adults" and adds "It's a Savage Ride for Survival". Now that should scare away little kids that can read, if the horrifying facade doesn't do it.

Looking at the extended queue for this ride concerns me a bit. I'm not sure if it's long enough to accommodate all the guests that will ride it near opening/busy days. I would really hate the line to go outside the entrance... Magic Kingdom has the same problem with 7DMT.

They could do a character meet & greet along the way, Dudley Do Right & His Horse Meet King Kong....."Nell, Nell, Where in Heaven is Nell. Ooops, it looks like Kong's got her"........
