Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[JungleSkip]

I did notice one thing from the show. Mike West talked about the caves before you board the vehicle, and the cgi clip showing the cave section from "the making of" played at that time as well. So I'm thinking that clip is part of the queue area and not the ride like I originally thought.

That is definitely from the ride portion.

So if Myth Explorer was filming last night on sight I can't believe no one took photos...

Agreed, only an idiot would do that. I think what freaked me out is thinking it may not seem dangerous at first (to some people). It's not like standing on the track of a high speed roller coaster. If someone hopped the queue and walked on the outdoor path they might not think that a slow moving vehicle is computer-powered and not human operated and also weighs 17 tons and would just crush them. But I totally understand that there's safety measures in place and surely that won't really be an issue. Just the thought creeped me out!

If you look back to my post #4429, I show a picture of the undercarriage of the vehicle (as used for container transport, this is the standard chassis).

The pink wire harness (pretty sure its the pink one) is a proximity sensor circuit loop between the front and the back of the vehicle. This is a standard on any autonomous vehicle in industry.

My guess is that UC would just add this into their computer system as an additional safely monitor, on top of a few others I'm sure.

There were apparently employees everywhere. It seems that they are very aware of how everyone gets shots, so they made sure no one was able to capture anything.

Do you think there is any chance the last episode will have them encounter Kong? Maybe a brief quick cam of the Kong AA :drool:

I don't think they'll do that. It doesn't sound like an "Universal Move".

 

[hishedale]

In one sense, they could open it tomorrow as it is finished "enough". However, they are still bolting down and testing smaller tech elements that will take it all up a notch. By this, I mean all interior guests areas within the building. Exterior, we can all see the similar touches continue to be made to things that don't seem to need to be fixed.

I haven't asked about the ride vehicles in a few days as it began to give me heart burn.

I sympathize for the Heartburn.

Yes

The opening should be especially sweet for you. After all, you broke the story, and your details were basically right on. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

HateToFly's Kong revelation was one of the reasons why I joined OU

 

[Mike S]

Yes

 

[TheLastAshen]

Yes

As soon as the series started I was hoping that was the end goal, to encounter the AA.

To be clear, that's not me saying it's definitely going to happen. Like, not even close to that.

That just seems like the logical conclusion

I swear if Mike rides this before me...

 

[Blaw923]
