Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Second ride over. I was in the back all the way to the left. Not as good as my first ride in row 6 on the right but still in the middle. My second ride though there was some cheering after the 360 scene ended, then gasps from the same people when we got to Kong. I know it isn't but the ride does feel short. I'm attributing that to the excitement of the 360 scene.

Second impression of the ride, I don't know. Mummy and Gringotts are different kinds of rides since they're coasters and then we have MIB. Decisions, decisions... Do I have to rank them?

Here comes number three. Are the actual waits much shorter than the posted wait times?

No number 3. Spider-Man then over to USF.

Two is enough for now. I'll be back and it's not going anywhere

Take men in black out, then rank.

We all know that Men In Black should be at the top of any ride rankings list.

Sounds like a little nepotism involved.

Lol..no I think and hope plans are already being made for the replacement of MIB. Rode it last month and I see what it used to be, but it's time to go bae

 

[Mad Dog]

I really like MIB and hope it stays for a long time. But it's not in my top six Universal attractions.

MIB is my favorite ride to ride over and over and over again. I feel because it is interactive it has the best re-rideability. But not sure where I would rank it. I hope it doesn't go anywhere and instead gets a little update.

I'm hoping my daughter's friend talks her into giving that ride another chance. It broke down when we were on it. Being stuck in the seats, and unable to exit caused major drama. She started asking things like "what if it's a fire?" It's been a few years, maybe she will be over it

My friend said it took 3 hours to get on Kong Saturday morning. :jaw:His review was not a super positive one.

well, I would not expect a super positive review after a wait like that. Poor guy was probably exhausted, and hot. Kong would have had to break out into a song and dance routine to impress anyone after 3 hours.

Oh dear, breakdowns galore from the sounds of it

 

[Teebin]

And people wonder why I wait 5 months to ride a new tech attraction. Even with an AP, I don't have that kind of patience or tolerance for a breakdown. I guess that is why I have never been evac'd before.

The only breakdown today I know of was when I was in line the first time but the line kept moving anyway. Wasn't too long either. AFAIK all effects worked on both of my rides.

Reminds me of Gringotts the first two months. Lots of people said they were in line for 3 or 4 hours. Many of them gave it bad reviews. That's kind of expected because there's probably no ride that meets expectations after you've waited 3 or 4 hours in line. That makes any experience miserable, so I don't blame someone in that situation for being negative. it's a natural reaction.

 

[UNIrd]

I don't know.. I loved Splash Mountain after my first ride and I waited 3 hours for that. But also, I was like 8.

Yes, I think the age may have been the key in that instance.

I wonder how much of an attendance bump IOA is getting from Kong.
