King Kong Speculation Thread

[tielo]

Thanks for the pictures, OrlandoGuy. Kong is indeed becoming quite high.
I also love how the green bridge looks, very inventive and a good way to keep the resort green and beautiful.

I really hope it's not that big to house a bunch of IMAX screens. This is KONG. They can do so much more.

It's not. There will be plenty of screens, but it's far from all screens.

Universal proved with their Potter rides that they can use both screens and physical sets seamlessly. I hope to see a bit more physical stuff with this attraction but I'm sure that it will be awesome either way. In Uni We Trust.:thumbs:

I believe they know that Diagon will continue to take care of 2015 quite nicely. No need to rush stuff along.

Plus that'll be the year of 25th anniversary. No need to muddy up the press releases with new attractions opening when the attraction is the fact that it's a special occasion that year.

These are from Sunday. I apologize for the stability, but it wasn't exactly a Wescam.

Wow! That's a big honkin' building. I love progress pictures. Thanks, awhen!

Here's a little more of that area if that's of interest.

Aah! The Chorisia speciosa is in boom again...

The front wall has started to appear today!

Of course this means it's gonna be harder to see exactly what they're building inside, but it's exciting to see so much progress so fast!

More pics from today on my blog (shameless plug).

Wow, that was fast! I honestly think Uni wants this open for the 25th anniversary at the rate construction is going.

Soon we will be blocked off from the inside like with Gringotts...hopefully we will continue to see significant outside theming while the inside is being built

 

[Teebin]

Wow, those round cross beams are rather rugged and remind me of Transformers construction. A partial second story perhaps? Fun pics. Thanks Alicia!

 

[Alicia]

You're welcome!

I'm guessing with the amount of rockwork needed to flesh out a massive temple facade we'll still have plenty to gawk at even with the interior out of view.

At least there's not a huge London street to block our view, not yet anyway.

How many new attractions will Universal complete before Avatarland opens?:ears:

I don't know... try me

 

[OrlandoGuy]

I don't know... try me

My educated guess? 5

But wouldn't be surprised to see more.
