Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Nah, more fun to watch him make what appear to be incorrect statements and then try to side step or backpedal

Yeah, I think you're right.:thumbsup:

Alright guys, enough piling on.

 

[Splatter]

Briman said enough guys. Stay classy.

I think one of the most exciting aspects of this whole attraction(and there seem to be so many) is the fact that the Entertainment teams are involved.

Good point. It adds an extra dimension.

Yea, this is by far the most interesting aspect for me. I think live actors could add a ton to this attraction. Like Great Movie Ride on steroids.

:thumbsup:"Great Movie Ride on Steroids" . Nice quote. It has a certain ring to it.

 

[Splatter]

I have heard things that lead me to believe that the GMR on steroids comparison makes the most sense as well. For the smallest island, it will pack a huge living, breathing, punch.

I mean, Niles might not technically be wrong. If the 360 film is essentially the centerpiece of this attraction, some people might be disappointed, especially since it's been 6 years since it's been open at USH.

:saywhat:

I'd say Nemesis is one of the best themed roller coasters there is. Even after 20 years it's still looking great. As a whole, the park is a beautiful place but it does have the advantage of being built around a real castle in a deep forest. Gloomy woods in particular really takes advantage of this. I'd say it's the closest us Brits get to the level of theming found in Disney and Universal.

I think it's also a nice throwback to the original Kongfrontation with the on board operator. Its something that Universal has been missing since Jaws shut that allows something a we bit different every time you ride. I know Poseidon's Fury has a tour guide but it's not something that I want to ride again.

 

[Jymmymack]

Also, have plans changed since long long ago when I guessed (correctly at the time) that a live abduction would be occurring during the ride?

Anyone?

 

[Scott W.]

Anyone?

I think at this point we're too close to the opening that I don't think I really want to know much more.

 

[bob albert]

I think great movie ride is absolutely outstanding and quite underrated. I would be happy to some of those ideas in kong.

Not trying to be a jerk but... ok? Lol. Like cool that you don't want to know but that doesn't mean nobody is allowed to answer. Put it in spoilers if they must.

I think I came across quite rude and I didn't mean to, sorry. I think spoiler tags are a reasonable idea.

 

[IzzyB]

I don't think it was ever confirmed or denied that there would be a live person snatched. So I don't think people still want to give out that information.

Understandable. I just want to know where my expectations should be. Long ago, we had surmised that there would be a live abduction. Just wondering if that's still the case.

To be honest, I don't know whether it came to fruition or not. I believe that rumor first came from HTF back before the redesign of the project and building. Perhaps it's been handled in a room unto itself if so?

I honestly don't know. But I do feel like it'll happen, and it'll be the expedition leader who we meet up with who ends up abducted

Back in the day, it was confirmed by HTF here.

But things might have changed. Although why would you need make-up artists to come in to do the tribal makeup so late in the game if there weren't going to be live actors?

There are 100% live actors involved in the attraction, though I've only ever been told of them being involved in the queue
