King Kong Speculation Thread

[Eckert]

Are we sure this isn't a two story ride? This building is huge. In person. Photos do no justice.

I'm sure there will be some two story-sized scenes.

When I saw the building in December (before any facade work started) my 1st thought based on its shape and size was that it was very similar to the size of the Kong 360 building in Hollywood. Yes the screens will be that tall.

I do not believe the ride will be two story, at all. Things can change through.

 

[Andy]

That's a big building jack, don't need 2 stories...

I believe there could be a motion base lift in the middle main room of the building that could be used to raise the RV up as if you're being picked up while synced to what's happening on the projection. No actual hard evidence but I have my suspicions.

[darkridelover]

It might be very good.

Those construction photos rock :rofl:

Great shots and lightening speed construction.

Expand like you mean it

 

[Teebin]

Thanks tons for those pictures Frank! I finally got around to looking at the highest res images.

Now I can see that the fabric behind the rebar appears to be self supporting and very thick, almost like paper-mill felt. I would estimate that it is nearly 1/8" thick and the chairs are merely stapled to it. Nassal is so tricky.

Great pics! All is looking well!

might already have been stated, but what's with the green wall over by the skull island entrance? walking from toon lagoon into Jurassic park, it's on the right hand i believe where the footer for the Jurassic park gate was.

A porta-pottie for the giant beast?

I snuck a peak behind the wall and currently there's nothing behind it other than the cinder blocks needed to hold the wall up. Pics below:

Thank you Alicia. I wonder are they prepping for the new sign to the new combo land?

So does that mean they're going to exist as one land, or will Kong be entered in and discerned as the 7th island?

With the story line of the Volcano (from Volcano Bay) erupted and the lava formed new land in which the natives inhabited. Might help explain the gray rocks on the temple :dance:
