Kong seems to be far more done. Hulk queue looks to be barren still

No. He moved out of state.

I'd imagine a lot of the Hulk stuff was done offsite and now just needs to be brought over and installed

I'm probably going over the summer. I hope nothing big is spoiled before then.

Hulk opening really depends on what type of circulation requirement they have to do.

Since there really isn't much change to the actual track, they may be able to do an abbreviated testing cycle instead of the rigorous testing of a brand new coaster.

I also would think the best use of time would be doing train testing and looping while construction finishes on the building maybe?

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

I basically started here while HTF was actively disseminating Insider information. At that time he was primarily the reason I began spending the vast bulk of my theme park internet site time on OU. It's always seemed to me that HTF & Teebin were/are the most accurate Universal insiders. I felt a little saddened when HTF lessened his role. Fortunately we still have Teebin, and HTF joins the discussion occasionally. HTF's opinion & perspective, even though no longer an active insider, is still valuable to me.

His only mistake is calling himself Mako Madness. It's great now but once Mako is built, it's going to look a bit dated.

The sign looks complete and great.

Yeah it was when HTF was chatting up about Gringotts and Diagon Alley in 2013. I was blown away with how detailed it got. I always have been reading insider gossip and future attraction details, but never to the depth of a scene-by-scene walkthrough. And then he just topped himself with Kong. Thinking about the original Disaster premise, that seems so quaint in comparison now...

I read through all of Teebin's Kong posts, so I learned a bunch. Now I actually joined.

Yes, I'm so glad Kong ended up in IOA rather than the Disaster area. I always enjoyed the "Lost Island" segments of the various Kong movies much more than the "NYC" parts of the movies.

I agree, but you can't downplay the Airplane scene on the Empire state building.

I wish they could somehow involve that scene in this new ride. I'm really hoping this ride is fun. I haven't done so much research on a ride before.
