That's the weird thing about the timing and length suggested. I would think they want other popular rides open when Kong is debuting in order to handle the expected crowds so they have other things to do once they have ridden Kong.

Could we see the ride come back from refurb with Express? Wasn't there a rumor awhile back that the "Castle Tour" had been stopped and Express may be coming to the ride?

Was thinking... if merch knows about it but ops doesn't.. and there's no reason merch would know a schedule ahead of ops really.. what if it is just for the lockers and the ride itself wont close but the shop will?

And then the lockers will expand into the shop?

I haven't followed the Hollywood stuff...is that the only upgrade from Florida? I didn't even know it was 3D.

That could make sense. Fix the locker situation. Then, if it's true the 3D conversion just takes a night to do, they can implement 3D sometime after.

That would make more sense, IMO.

Problem is the stairway down from unload to the shop.

Tonight I'll post two photos from walk through videos walking into Forbidden Journey castle.

Mike: That may well be the best forum member avatar scene ever. I laugh every time I see the "Thanks Shanghai". A constant reminder. :thumbsup:

If they would just pipe some AC in there it would go a long way to fixing the lockers.

10 days huh....

I can't help but imagine Kong would at least be planned for soft openings to ease guest capacity and more importantly guest complaints. Which is why there are no hard dates yet. They could be gunning for late April into Early May for all we know but one team is probably on hold until Kong is on routine soft openings. Now in 10 days what can be done? Well I'd imagine they plan on working 24/7 to accomplish as much as possible during a downtime. He is a quick list of possible things we could see after that 10 days of downtime plus whatever prep work I'm sure they start on before the fact.
  • 3D Conversion
  • Changes to Show Lighting
  • Fix the FREAKING LOCKER ROOM!!
  • Introduce Express
  • Install Glasses Washroom onsite

These are the items the worker drones are buzzing about. That doesn't mean that the rest won't come to be. I just don't have ears in those areas.

Wow, the info on this really varies. Seems to be no consensus, short of the lockers, outside there in Insider land.

I think this is either a case of false insiders or figuring out where the insiders get their info from.
