King Kong Speculation Thread

Ok wait... before this turns into a false rumour, did any insider (namely HTF) talk about an outdoor section, or did I just make that up in my mind?

He spoke of two outdoor sections, one to begin the ride and one after the finale.

That Huge building makes me happy.

The only thing that worries me is the huge show building of the Jurassic Park River Adventure. How can they make that building invisible from Skull Island?

Same logic used with Hogwarts from JP.

^ About how tall is the proposed Kong show building? This plot and the orientation of the building should not be as awkward as FJ.

And it brings back up the question of how the show building is going to be themed for Skull Island. Like Jungle Ruins?

 

[mahnamahna]

From what everyone's saying, expect an Indiana Jones-esque temple facade (the show building will likely be hidden from view with trees and walls)
out front, an intro similar to JPRA (leisurely tour of Skull Island - outdoors) with the intense parts (bugs AAs, Kong 360 sequence, etc) located inside and an outdoor finale to sum things up.

It's supposed to be an all-ages ride like JAWS, Disaster, etc. and it's supposed to have trams for RVs

The ride facade could be as high as 125ft, or the Hulks cobra roll for conversation sake.

A facade that tall would probably be seen from the IOA lagoon! The JPRA building looks to be about 100-105 ft tall so a 125 ft facade will definitely stand out

I believe this would be about the same height as the JPRA then...that building is roughly 120 feet tall.

Well the crane is not going to be seen from the public areas of IOA. But I did see this 2 tree markers. Unsure if new or not, but sharing anyway.

However this ride turns out, I'm sure it'll be valuable Entertainment for all guests Involved.

I saw some interesting "news" today... and I may or may not have posted this in the wrong thread on purpose. I am not sure yet. Kapeesh? :look:

Are you saying the project we are talking about is not Kong?

 

[Teebin]

No. Just that some things said about this project may not be fact. At least, not singular fact. The "news" that I saw did not hint of what I expected, regarding a relationship to this thread, even though it was intended to.

 

[MrRoamer]

Teebin are you talking about CF News 13 talking about project 340? I saw it as a headline the other day but never saw the story.

 

[Teebin]

No, not about 13 news.

 

[UniversalCrazy]

I wonder what the dark ride would be like, I hope not another Transformers or Spider-man although that would be interesting. I was thinking something more like Forbidden Journey.

 

[anihilnation]

Was in IOA yesterday and from at the back of the Dudley-do-right walk to the queue entrance I could see a crane vehicle in the rumored kong area.

Why Lightbulb, the insider on WDW who usually is accurate with his info, is alluding to design changes on the Kong attraction. He posted his comment today.
