They should be coming soon. Rides just started not that long ago.....In the meantime, maybe we do like Beetlejuice.....Chant "More Reviews" three times.....Yeah, like a drug, the reviews become addictive........Homer Simpson, "NEED MORE REVIEWS". And, a bottle of Duffs.:)

Of course, immediately. The series was sooooo bad, it was actually funny as all hell. Pretty tough when a Robot is your best actor. (Lost In Space)

Same difference. :lol: Teebin has trouble with exerting the energy to use two syllables. He's getting really really old. :lol:...........Whoops, back to Kong.

I was 5 years old... and as I recall, that warning was very very serious business to me. KONG. Of course, the Doc was scare-dy cat back then but in hindsight, he was the nelliest queen on television at the time. KONG. What a torch song flamer!

Doc was only supposed to be on the show for a few episodes, but he tested so well with the audiences that they changed the show from a somewhat drama,to a pure sitcom, with the Doc as the star of the series. Lots of internal problems on that show since they had a few actors with big egos that were big time stars from previous TV shows, and they weren't too thrilled with their diminished roles. The TV series was eons different from the movie. Pure camp comedy on the TV show. But I can still watch it on TV reruns since it was unintentionally funny as all heck, especially the Doc......Come on with the Kong reviews people. We're drowning in old time trivia. :lol:

My point was, if parents haul children into this queue (which seems to be a success), it will be a completely different kind of horror show. Thus my warning.

I think the real question here is how long can we expect the actors to remain? Getting them to frighten guests 6 hours a day on the weekends for a month is one thing, getting them to do it 12 hours a day everyday is another.

Since I bucked-up two of them, I don't believe so.

I believe it will be 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. I am quite sure that is close to standard for entertainment.

I was thinking the same thing, and then I thought about how there are entertainers around the parks that don't get to be in the AC and how they still continue to do what they do..

It is super fun to scare people, just sayin

It looks like a ride you will be able to take a bag on. Can anyone who has rode this confirm you can ride with your backpack?

You are allowed to take a bag on Kong 360 in Hollywood, so you most likely would be allowed to take a bag on this.

There's going to have to be warnings for the actors IMO. 99% of people riding this ride won't know about scare actors, and I'm sure many will think that the person jumping out of them is actually someone attacking them or something. I feel like they really should have warnings for the actors' safety.

It's my understanding that the scare actors won't necessarily be within arms reach of any guests going through the que

I have been saying since I found out they would have TMs in costume in the queue that they need to give them sharp pointy sticks and allow them to threaten the guests. They would have a stampede to sign up for this gig and I think it is in the AC as well.

No, there's a barrier between the guests and actors.

I'm just deciding whether to renew UOAP or wait. Won't be back in town until March and then the following September. If I renew now I get only trip out of it plus possible AP rate for March, if I wait I'll get both Trips next year but no AP hotel rate plus it will be st at least $120 more.

Not sure if outs worth living in the rate now or wait d's get a new one in March.
