King Kong Speculation Thread

[AK-Jake]

Well, I haven't seen anything listed that seemed to be the answer to what Teebin was hinting at....so, here's my take:

Feature from a "relatively new" coaster at USF...to me that would most likely limit our choice to Rockit as many have considered. UOR Kong is on a MUCH more grand scale in pretty much every regard compared to Hollywood, it's rumored to have a very similar ending to Kong 360 Hollywood, and it's in a HUGE soundstage...that's only a single level. Adding all that up and then considering "unique" features from Rockit leads me to predict the mystery feature will be...

A NON-INVERTING LOOP.

Boom! THAT would sure put the "360" into the "King Kong 360 3D" ending that's supposedly coming as part of the ride! eace:

(No, I'm not serious. I have no idea what it's going to be and have simply decided to kick back and enjoy the ride before enjoying the actual ride.)

It has pretty much been figured out, in another thread. I am not sure if the complete implication has been realized yet. These will be bus sized vehicles after all.

That looks quite familiar but I can't seem to put a finger on it. From a specific ride/ride system?

Ahhh, thank you!

 

[Teebin]

Weeeell, yeah, but...

kinda like comparing apples and steroids.

This ride is going to be VERY different and much more grand then it's Hollywood counterpart. The scale, execution, technology, theming, media, and overall experience will be lightyears ahead of the Hollywood Tram Toour version. This ride is going to be REDICULOUS! Utilizing new stuff that has never been done before on such a grans scale. Mark my words, it's a game changer.

:happy:

I hope they put extra effort into pacing and storytelling.

I've done an awful job keeping up with this project. Anyone have a good summary?

"What they got in there, King Kong?" Malcolm

Universal Orlando made both happen. Sorry BriMan I had to. lol Can't wait for Kong's return and the fact like the attractions in USF it's getting a stand-alone treatment vs Tram tour as it's always been. :happy:

Bus size vehicles, that's some cool information. Hopefully no roof.

 

[Simpsons_fanatic]

Yeah I hope there aren't any roofs on the Vehicle

Yeah I hope there aren't any roofs on the Vehicle

I feel you but then again if it leads to things like a more immersive screen show, bugs ripping through it and possibly other effects, it could really add to the entire experience

If they're utilizing Kong: 360 technology for a big scene at one point, don't the vehicles kind of have to have roofs in order to help better sell the illusion of Kong and other creatures scrambling over the top of you in the course of their fight (I know that's part of the Kong attraction in Hollywood)? Also, I don't think Universal would want the riders to be in a position to see the edges of the screens (unless they're built into some physical setpieces, but the 360 screens are so massive that I'm not sure how that would work).

 

[martymcflyy85]

I was just thinking if the vehicles are bus size and it has a roof, the people in the middle might not have as good a view.

Roofs wouldn't be required since the screens they develop these days are quite massive, engulfing your field of vision. Gringotts and Transformers are good examples of in your face action with screens that "end" but aren't noticable.

This is what I've been think the ride system would be.

That is pretty much what Hollywood is already... only far bigger and badder.
