Because most of the people on that page are the general public and don't know about the ins-and-outs of the parks like everyone here :lol:

Fortunately there 's people on this site (you included) that refutes those things before people start going into a panic. Right now, it seems people are especially sensitive to negative speculation or crazy unfounded rumors. It is what it is. Patience is a real virtue at this stage.

Ok I got it!!!!
The interior of the main building has a version of the KingKong ride at Bobbejaanland with a 360 screen around it. The trackless ride vehicle stops once inside the show building, Kong reaches down and his hands attach to the vehicle. The ride then progresses much like the ride in Bobbejaanland, only with the video from the Hollywood version of Kong 360 playing on the screen. After Kong lowers the ride vehicle back down. The hands detach and the vehicle escapes and proceeds to the ride exit. The reason the show building is so large is that it houses five of the Kong units, three operating and two for backup. The reason they are not running softs yet is because the Kong AA's and the gate are on the same circuit and when they try running all three and open the gate at the same time they trip the breaker.

At least that's my theory.;)

Bring on "Mighty Joe Young". Bet there's not many of you that have seen that 1949 "classic?"

I own MIGHTY JOE YOUNG! It's fantastic, with some of the finest stop motion animation of the era. The sepia-hued fire sequence is incredible for the time, too. The movie is a very worthy companion piece to the Kong films.

That's probably what that disappointed Universal Executive thought the IOA Reign of Kong was going to be like. Oh well, you can't please everyone. :)

What if there was just one minute of driving, and then you stop in the 360 room and all of the characters come together in a circle (hence the need for the 360 3D room) and start singing Toto's Africa?
There's your 6 minute duration.

Probably should've put a nice big eye roll with that post to convey sarcasm. I know the footage is ready. ;)

Does anyone know the font used for Skull Island or anything similar? Or if anyone has the logo of the ride with a black background that would also be much appreciated.

This proved to be more difficult than I originally thought. The text has been that distressed that it's been difficult to find a font match. I hope this will help you out slightly though.
