Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Hatetofly]

What about single riders?

Yes

 

[IzzyB]

Yeah I can't imagine Kong not having it from day 1. I think more the question will be is does this being here allow them to open express to FJ.

 

[Milla4Prez66]

Wow, I can't believe how close we seriously are to this opening.

 

[hishedale]

Wow, I can't believe how close we seriously are to this opening.

It's really a slap in the face.

When I was there yesterday it looked like they had added a set of gates to the construction walls near the entrance that I didn't remember seeing before. Maybe I missed them, or maybe they were added so they could complete work along the edge of the existing path, but their placement looked to me like they could be opened as an entrance and exit before the wall comes down completely. Maybe for TM previews or a soft opening...

I believe as capacity grows were going to see a complete overhaul to Express to include Harry Potter attractions and so on. I also think were going to see major upgrades to express in the years to come but thats just my opinion with no foundation.

Speaking of express, any indication as to whether Express Pass users will bypass the theming of the main queue and will go directly to the loading area as in other attractions or if they'll stay alongside the standby line for the duration of queue? Or do we not have any kind of indication as to the answer of this yet and it's one of those "we'll have to wait and see" situations?

You think we'll see a tiered system where Portofino/Hard Rock have unlimited and then Royal Pacific and Sapphire Falls going to single use per day?

 

[RogueAntilles]

There are several lengthy stops in the show building.

Not to be Mr. Negativity or anything but I figured there would be some stops along the way but the route just looks so damn short. Goes in the building, makes a right goes straight along the length of the building than goes back to loading area?

I guess my trepidation stems from Escape from Gringotts where the ride just stops so much you never get the thrill your looking for.

I'm sure this ride is going to be mind blowing and will work out in the end. I was a little shocked when the route was posted on here.

That would not surprise me whatsoever. Plus, with Hard Rock, Portofino and Royal Pacific all having unlimited and both having completely different prices per night, it would probably make more sense IMO.

Kong is not meant for thrills though , I think more than anything it is meant as a very psychological ride.

 

[Skubersky]

I just got a save the date for a Kong media preview June 22-24.

 

[Mad Dog]

I just got a save the date for a Kong media preview June 22-24.

That fit's in perfectly with the June 23 date that was being bandied about for the past month.

 

[Tylereapple]

I thought soft openings happened after media previews?

Before, they want it working before the media get there.
Anyone need me to carry their camera for the event???

That would be so cool.

Unless you're Gringotts.

Unless you're Gringotts.

Hopefully that was a one off. It looks like this one is coming together nicely.

 

[hishedale]

Yeah, well we can only hope that everything is running nicely. There could be some closed door stuff we don't know about. But Teebs would probably tell us if anything comes up.

Opening team meets together for the first time tomorrow night.
