Just heard a radio ad that mentions Kong. Hype levels increasing.

And now it all begins. :thumbsup:..... Every day that goes by is one day closer to softs.:smile:

 

[Yabbadabba Doh]

Can't wait! Will be heading there in mid August and am looking forward to riding this!

Will this be softing by May 17th? Going to be there for a week and would love to get on it.

It's possible as the softs target date was set for early May, but I wouldn't make plans based on that.

The plans were made long ago in a galaxy far, far away...

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it and if so then disregard my post. Oh and I guess maybe possible spoiler too. On Friday morning we took my kids on Pteranodon Flyers multiple times as there wasn't a line. On my first ride the doors were open and they were testing fire effects. There were I believe at least two if not three flames going on the inside by the skeleton. They looked like torches. My wife was able to get a pic so I can upload it later if anyone wants. They were shut off the next two times I rode. Also the road is definitely uneven it doesn't really come though in any pictures I took but I'll check hers out to see if they were better. Not just up and down hills but where one side or wheel of the vehicle will be higher than the other.

Why did you ask then? :saywhat:

 

[Jymmymack]

Why did you ask then? :saywhat:

Because I wanted to know if it would be softing by the time I got there?

Post them! We love pictures around these parts! :thumbsup:

I saw the torch next to the skull head yesterday in a tweet. I was a bit shocked to see it.

 

[epcyclopedia]

Interesting - this implies the temple isn't abandoned. Make sense I guess since the guests are being sent to rendezvous but I assumed finding it was a mistake - not the intended route.

 

[PeteThePoolMan]

Here is the pics she got. I cropped them down and tried to lighten them up but they were just from a phone so sorry about the quality. It wouldn't let me uoload the original size too big. I'm pretty sure there were three torches that we could see and I went to get another pic at the top of the the play area but they were turned off for the rest of the morning we were there.

Yes please! :biggrin:

Story-wise, do we think Kong will be friend or foe? That's a challenge with this character: he's a little of both.

 

[epcyclopedia]

If it follows the same setup as Hollywood he's a "friend" in that the Dino's are also his enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend situation.

 

[Teebin]

Ok, I am no longer shocked. Any flames inside the building are fake. Not real fire at all.

 

[Mad Dog]

Kong is friend no doubt.

It looked real good for fake fire. Maybe it was but the way the flames blew in different directions it looked real to us. I wouldn't argue with you though. The torches also looked more like they were made from the inhabitants of the island than from the expedition. They were set up in a random pattern around the skeleton not in a uniform line.

I hope you are right and they continue to appear authentic to guests on the ride vehicles! BTW, the one torch I did see inside was identical to the torches on either side of the Kong queue entrance.
