Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Brian G.]

It's amazing how many people (mostly her legit followers) thought this was actually a promo for a new show. They were asking what channel they could find it on.

 

[Mike S]

Well it was unlisted. Someone must have been tipped off and went digging for it.

I love the Internet

 

[Teebin]

No, it's Universal marketing.

Geeez... I finally clicked that link to find that you weren't joking.... at all. Silly me.

Something tells me she has worked in Entertainment as Sarah Connor. She has a very Linda Hamilton look about her.

Thought she looked familiar. She was on Destination Truth for a number of seasons!

Well, I checked on the planned opening date. Believe or not, the plan was, and still is, softs in early May, and no one has been told differently at this time.

Now, don't make reservations based on this at all. While it might be completely ready to go at that time... Universal may decide to move it by weeks. There is also a chance major problems might arise and it won't be ready to go at all.

I already made the reservations last month. I'm a Gamblin Man...Heh, sounds like a good song title.

For when?

 

[Mad Dog]

For when?

We're driving down May 7th. we have a suite at Cabana Bay for 4 nights and then we'll be a Portofino for 6 nights.

Oh, so you never planned on doing Kong anyway. Good.

 

[martymcflyy85]

Love the marketing! Hype meter rising.....

 

[Mad Dog]

We'll be back at the end of Sept., so we'll get Kong then for sure. I'm just getting back into my twice a year cycle for Orlando. Last year's only one trip down was way too far between trips. Spring & Fall is good since the weather is decent and the crowds are only moderate, and the resorts are a better price.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Don't expect softs before May.

Team members will begin training for the attraction starting late next week. No word on when they will be allowed inside the attraction building.

THE MAP IN THE VIDEO :drool:

i like this new campaign. it's professional. didn't someone roast the fact that Universal is tied with a leading media group? and this is all for just one new attraction. i'm getting all these giddy Expedition Everest vibes and we're still a few months out.

also the fact that it's all being led by a woman and her associate is a woman in STEM is very nice.

I guess this makes more sense now. In hindsight, I don't think I ever asked when this thing is opening until today. Got sidetracked by Hulk, 727, 620, 273 and 188. I'm easily distracted...

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Except Rockit, which shuts down.

Took a ride on Rockit in a thunderstorm once. Was my best Coaster experience ever. Haha. Rain drops were pelting harder and adrenaline pumping faster, with the crack of thunder, awe man beast!

 

[universal_fanatic]

Did anyone notice the ROTM queue and what is most likely Camp Jurassic's mines used in the "Quest for Kong" video?

Hmm...those numbers don't look familiar to me.

That jives with what a post, which was erased for confidentiality concerns, said a few weeks ago. Thanks for the update. :thumbsup:
