Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

My sister told me (who works at the Portofino) that a manager told her that TM previews are coming soon for Kong.

Thanks Bill! I have a gut feeling too!

Hey, that's as reliable a source as all the others we've heard. No one has been right yet. She might be the first.

We have been going about this wrong. If we really want to know the soft start date we need to consult a Magic 8 Ball.

Or a Disney bus driver? I heard they know everything that is happening.

Are you talking about opening or for softs? I personally think it will start softs around the next 2 weeks or so, considering everything looks like it has been going smoothly.

 

[Floridaguy34]

im talking grand opening

 

[sonoma15]

im talking grand opening

Ah, ok, then yes I agree with your there.

maybe the most impressive facade i ver ever seen
wow jaw dropping

 

[Floridaguy34]

Yes, it's very impressive. Photos, as the old trite saying goes, don't do it justice. This will be a very different attraction. Even though it uses lots of screens, there's so much there I'm sure we'll learn to love & be amazed by..

 

[*Q*]

I'm going to be honest, that's not at all what I expected you looked like.

 

[KongWatcher2016]

At parks all week until June 10th so praying for a miracle. First time ever here though so if no Kong will still have a good time.

 

[Mad Dog]

But he's cranky just like Teebin......And to put Kong in the post so I don't get yelled at, I'm going to put my marker on Thursday June 9th for the soft opening. If I'm wrong, I owe UK Trigg a pint of Guinness.

That friend of yours is either;

A.) Crazy as hell

or

B.) Someone that really, really, REALLY hates their job at UOR, and is more biased with Disney.

Disney Cast members are brain washed. I remember talking to one once when Diagon and Seven Dwarves were being built. He claimed SD was going to be better than Gringotts. I laughed.

There's also just a ton of them that don't know and/or don't care about the industry at large so will just say their offerings are the best. With a pool of about 70k employees there are plenty for whom it is just a boring job, no different from working at a fast food place or every day office building to them. I know of several that are lucky to remember that Iger is the CEO, or know that there was more than Walt in the Disney family.

EDIT: Back on Kong...hope to get to watch a few trucks cycle tomorrow if I end up at the park.
