Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[hishedale]

Man that has got to be so gratifying for those guys and gals.

It's so awesome when you get to physically interact with something you've been designing for so long....

But there's nothing there.

But there's nothing there.

What do you mean there is nothing there? This was all just sketches on these TMs notepads a year ago.

Whether the full show is running or not just getting to physically ride it is awesome!

 

[KongWatcher2016]

This is awesome!!! Going in first week of June, feeling alot better about softs by then with these pics, thanks for your updates.

What Rogue is getting at is that there is nothing to talk about except what we can't talk about (the leak) - and the things we can't talk about yet, we're talking about. (Judging a ride we've yet to experience).

Bottom line - yes, people are getting antsy and craving more info. Just gotta be patient.

Sorry guys. Hate me all you want (I know it's a only a small handful) but I am not risking the forum for a picture, especially one that I'm 100% positive Universal is not pleased got out. There will be other things to discuss soon.

Well said!

It's just a big blank space on my screen.

Umm... I guess there's going to be an animatronic driver after all?

I'm guessing you're at work?

It's an IMGUR picture, which my work blocks too. It shows up just fine on my phone. Looks like at least the outer section of the ride queue is basically done.

They must be getting really close now. Note the sandbags on the benches to simulate riders.

 

[TheLastAshen]

This is more than exciting. Finally verification that there will be animatronic drivers, the one make-it or Break-it for me other than the Kong animatronic. Glad they could pull it off.

 

[Blaw923]

That is quite an abrupt stop that RV took, yikes.

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

Just exciting to know every second we are getting closer to the biggest and lognest attraction universal ever built, it will make history

 

[Scott W.]

Has Universal ever created a human AA?

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Has Universal ever created a human AA?

Yes, in E.T. Adventure there are a few human AA's in the forest scenes before you start flying.

 

[Mad Dog]

The ET human AA's are really weak though. That's the only part of ET I don't care for much. They're as bad as the Sigourney Weaver (Alien) AA in Disney's The Great Movie Ride. I prefer non human portrayal's as AA's. They seem to work better.

 

[JungleSkip]

Yes, in E.T. Adventure there are a few human AA's in the forest scenes before you start flying.

Those are definitely not AAs. They're probably just animated figures. There's no articulation, really.

The closest thing is Imhotep, I'd say, who was good when the ride first opened, and went down hill during the dark times

Kinda looked like they simulate getting stuck? Would be a good hold point, you can't see the entrance from there. Looked like it was rocking a little like trying to get out of the mud????

 

[Eckert]

That was definitely not intentional.

Someone just posted this in the UOAP Facebook Group:

(Walls not down. OP just stated he is really tall.)

No wait time for Kong! Anyone wants to go?!
