Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[sjago13]

Skip to about 1min 20.

They have an endcap for the track but it is under the rail to make it look scary and not detract from the image when the final piece is there.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Ok guys back on topic for Kong.

 

[Blaw923]

HAHA, that's amazing!

 

[UniversalCrazy]

How is it looking for late June? That's when I go down.

You'll be fine. This is to open summer 2016. It's not evern Summer yet.

If there is going to be a spoiler thread can there also be a "when do softs start" thread?

This thread is really getting bogged down with it...

Ugh. Seriously. It's so annoying.

Holy crap, that would be scary!! No it is back.

 

[Muggle148]

Going Wednesday hoping to at least see walls down when I go

Like everyone has stated, there is only so much you can discuss and anticipate before you start asking what chance there is for softs. If you don't like those posts, don't read them? Lol.

On another note, I just dug up some sketches I did back in 2010 of what I imagined this ride would be. Funny, I placed it between Simpsons and MIB, and the facade was probably way too large but definitely ominous, with a skull built into the rockwork itself. The uncanny similarity lies in the distinction I made with a set-heavy beginning, and then a screen-based ending, with a final scene starring an AA Kong. No lie. I guess UC should just keep an eye out for me!

Hmmm... some updates and corrections.

Spoiler

Correction to my previous statement based on a long misunderstanding. There are three screen scenes and not two.

I now have a better understanding of why some TM's might have thought that one of the projections wasn't finished. :frown:

The Kong AA does in fact have a Yeti AA issue and it has nothing to do with it ever breaking down. Izzy mentioned recently that her daughter had a problem with even seeing it.[spoiler/]

Are you implying that they're toning down the AA because the ride is deemed too frightening (more like Dinosaur over at AK)?

...if so, that makes sense as to why we're seeing delays in soft openings. At this point, it's way too late to remove ride vehicle AA's, change pre-rendered 3D video, soudtrack, etc. However, changes could be made to the hydraulics (motion of the vehicle) and...

Spoiler

AA Kong's movement in the finale

...in order to tone down the intensity. That would be a reasonable explanation as to why softs are delayed without any apparent issues to the ride.

 

[pftaylor]

Walls are still up at 1pm today

 

[Mikey]

I may be dense, so what's the issue w/ the Kong AA?

 

[Blaw923]

I would be very surprised if they already feel comfortable calling the features too intense and in need of toning down.

They barely have any statistics yet, you think they would at least want softs to gather more input and opinions?

That is not what I was talking about. Ask Izzy what her daughter thought of the Yeti AA...

 

[Blaw923]

Came across this the other day, closest shot I've see of a driver.

Nothing will change until after softs.

Sounds like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type of thing.
