Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Everything I've seen written is info that's been discussed on this thread for the past two years. I have yet to read anything the past week that I didn't already know concerning the ride itself.

Sooo, pay a human to do nothing? Seems like a waste of money.

I think parts of the Hollywood tram tour use pre-recorded spiel now over the speakers for consistency (Jimmy Fallon isn't it?)... but the driver is still needed, to um, drive. Ya know?

Spoiler: Tidbit

In terms of how Hollywood handles its trams, being that there is a spieler that is hired to talk and put up certain bits at certain times. In a way, I would not be surprised that if they bring Actors into the playing field that they have the scripts handled more like when Jaws was around.

Kong is a ride? WTH! Ever hear of a spoiler tag? :angry:

I second this request. I've read through all of the spoiler-tagged posts on the most recent pages in here, and there's really nothing in any of them that I'd categorize as a spoiler in the sense of being something that gives away specific moments, beats, plot points, etc. I just don't see how general reactions along the lines of "It's really good!" or "Some suits and TMs have been underwhelmed!" could possibly spoil anybody's first time on the ride.

If that is the spoiler policy anyway, I guess I'm fine with it, but a little clarification might be helpful.

I agree, I got weak and read the tagged spoilers, and nothing really gave anything away. Of course I was both happy that I didn't ruin the suprise by reading them, and disappointed that after deciding to read them, they really didn't give any real detail to what's inside. I haven't read any post in this thread that gave away what really happens once through the gates, aside from the obvious 360 video, which I'm still not sure if it's identical to Hollywood's version or not.

No, the truck only takes guests to a walk-thru attraction called "The Exit".

I thought it was taking guests to the every popular attraction known as "The Gift Shop"

As a reminder anything that hasn't been revealed by UOR, isn't "generic" information, or is seen outside of the attraction is a spoiler.

Auduitions for scare actors for the attractions was posted on hiring pages, that's acceptable. The monsters were featured in a behind the scenes video, that's acceptable. Any reactions from executives or TMs is a spoiler, even if it's just rumors and conjecture.

I just want this ride to open so we can get the spoiler thread going.

You're stupid for not making it when folks are already begging and it's causing a massive stir.

But I appreciate you guys sticking by your convictions.

I don't get this. We've never done a Spoiler/Non-Spoiler thread until after a ride has opened to the public for its first soft opening. None of you were clamoring for this when Diagon was opening so what's different about Kong?

Ironically, this is the same thread that discussed many rumors where we shared a lot of details (like scene by scene detail) of what the ride would entail and all of you were asking for more on what to expect.

So now a couple posts sharing some generalized overviews is a spoiler, but asking "Tell us more inside stuff about the ride!!!" a 1-2 years ago was not?

You can't have a "Spoiler" thread because no one that has ridden Kong is supposed to talk about it. It's all speculation and rumor at this point. Talking about the possibility of a change to a feature that we've all known about for a couple months is not a spoiler.

But everyone's definition of a spoiler is different. Some people think a movie trailer is "Too spoilery" so sadly we can't please anyone.

You need to stop being obnoxiously confrontational and rude with your posts. Consider this your final warning.

Also, saying execs were underwhelmed, or TM's loved it etc. are not spoilers in anyway, since not only does it communicate nothing about the ride, it also is a fully subjective positions. Granted, if somebody says I was(n't) impressed by the Kong AA could in a way be seen as a spoiler, but then, we all know there is an AA in the ride anyway.

I don't think I read a single spoiler in this thread.

...and I looked.

This is so right on. If I could agree more than 100%, I would. :thumbsup:

Looks like they're testing the door with the vehicles on the track

If only we could see it go in once the door opens
Oh well still exciting.

 

[Mike S]

I'm no engineer but what's so hard about having a door open while a truck drives through?

See...they're making changes already. Just calm down folks trust me, they will not let this be a flop. As they will need to save all flopping room for fallon.
