This ride has to be oficially announced by the end of the month now, there's no way it doesn't happen.

It is a new attraction to be called, "The Catacombs of Saxony". Should be creepy.

Oh, and BTW:

sorry if this is a dumb question, but will the ride and the small surrounding area be considered one of the "islands" in IOA or with the ride just be considered part of JP

Oh, and BTW:

Hmm... What could that number be referring to? 7 scenes in the ride? 7 days till official announcement?

 

[martymcflyy85]

7 riders per row?

So i was looking up Netflix lineup of Original shows and oddly enough they have a Kong: King of the Apes kid series coming out sometime next year...wonder if Universal brokered a deal with them kinda like NBC did with the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and talk about good timing for creating a ride especially if the show is successful

Don't call it a comeback.

Your first guess appears sufficiently accurate. :wave:

Counting load/unload? I know UC often considers these to be scenes. If so:

Scene 1: Load
Scene 2: Outside temple ruins
Scene 3: Bug pit?
Scene 4:?
Scene 5: King Kong 360 section
Scene 6: Kong Animatronic/farewell
Scene 7: Unload
Scene 7a: post show scene

If Load/Unload don't count, I'm even more interested.

I didn't think to ask... lemme check.

 

[Teebin]

Counting load/unload? I know UC often considers these to be scenes.

It turns out to be a tough call on this project. Including load and un, some within UC may call it 8 scenes.

So, I guess that it turns out that my post was lame and territory that has already been trod.

Regardless, have a nice day. :wave:

Sounds fun, hopefully it's paced better than gringotts

Amen.

Quick shot in the dark question for anyone. I just got a Universal Preferred pass with 3 months free. It expires the last week of June. What do you guys and gals think the chances are of me riding this beast before my pass expires? I know it isn't opening this year.
