Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

So what's everyone's money on for the opening? June 23rd as speculated, July, or by some strange twist of fate, late summer?

I think they'll stick to the grand opening celebration, but I'm not sure right now. So many dates seem to have been missed and some people are telling me things are still going wrong.

How terrible of a human would I be if i somehow convinced an influential Orlando theme park blogger to post that Universal was letting guests on Kong tomorrow if they brought a bottle of FrizzEase with them?

And believe it or not, most people would actually fall for it..

Also...

Why no "Escape the Ape" in promotional stuff? I feel like that was an obvious route to go...

The question was rhetorical.

I doubt it because of the filming, but I wish that they would go down a similar marketing strategy that they pulled excellently with King Kong 360's to where you saw multiple locations that he rampages as he tries to get to Orlando. I doubt it, but it was a hope I had.

Yes I totally realize that a 0.5 second, strobe light look at an AA is a ridiculous way to come up with any kind of inkling of an opinion...but....my expectations dropped a little, can kind of get a minuscule vibe of the movement...but hey, who the heck knows. This sucker might do a cannonball on a Trex for all I know. Has it been 100% confirmed that we will only get a single Kong AA?

Most people on the east coast will have a surprise when they wake up.

 

[Fett83]

Welp that proved me wrong pretty quickly haha and here I was trying to brighten up a screenshot of the initial vid...:faint:

Also,

The AA is three stories tall, about 18 feet wide.

..Considering that this AA is huge and has Creature Tech; combined with that tease, once again;



the movement of it, even by glimpse is so smooth and it makes me excited for what comes next.

 

[foodstampsFTW]

It looks fantastic

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

Somebody predicted this exact thing would happen earlier lmaoooo

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

The movement was so go I thought it was a video at first
