That's interesting because I've been there every day this week around midday to watch testing and I've only ever seen a truck every 15 - 30 minutes. When you say 3 in a cycle wouldn't that mean a truck ever 2 minutes?

In addition to what teebin said, there are times in cycling where the ride goes down so you're not seeing it dispatch as often. I saw one stuck on the outside track today.

Was the large gate locked open or closed and running during that run?

There are some distinct milestones that this thing needs to pass before you'll see non-employees riding it or even having the chance to do so.

So, patience.

That's a pretty good external indicator for us to watch for. We still have yet to see the doors work in sync with the RV.

To me that says they still are not running the full program yet, of course this could be done at night.

All the videos we have seen the RV enters the building very slowly, makes we wonder how quick the gates and show doors close behind it.

My main point is that its just another timing element of the ride we haven't seen yet that we could.

Interesting to think how they would tone it down if needed, as far as the screen segment they are pretty much locked in?

That would be a serious cost hit to redo film....

I still can't help but laugh when I hear this. It must be the additional elements added solely for this attraction, as I don't think Kong 360 over in USH has ever been described by any riders as "terrifying."

I've heard FJ's dementors were toned down because JK wanted it that way? Could be misinformation but since Kong isn't a Potter ride, I don't think Universal Creative minds scaring the children.
