That aspect of Gringotts never really bothered me as much as other people (I still put below Forbidden Journey though) and I can live with some of the other faults like the transition and tone of the queue being different from the ride as long as we're not talking a Mermaid type situation. The rest of it sounds fantastic
Geeez, this attraction's opening is like Game of Thrones. Just when you think you have a handle on it, it slaps you in the face and does something different. Thank goodness I dismissed myself after April 29. That said, it's fun to watch and wait for this pot to boil!

Is there any way for the scare actors to know who is coming down the line? I feel like there should be a way for them to know if young kids are coming into the line... I'm no parent but I if I was, I'd be pretty angry if a big scary native jumped out at my kid, scaring the crap out of them. Or maybe I'm just too soft, but whatever.

I'm genuinely concerned they'll do away with scareactors down the line due to parents complaining. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.

if I catch wind of softs tomorrow I'm going to make the long drive.. Or I think I will just chance it on wednesday since uni really likes the date June 8th, and I have heard good things about wednesdays being a day they typically start softs
I had no luck for Mako today, hoping for Kong Thursday.

I think I've taken this shot a hundred times. Sometimes with better skies.
You know, for kids.

No need to get angry if it's posted in the front of the ride.
It's like when I see parents jumping in front of there kids when some actor scares them at HHN. Why did you bring them there in the first place?

Bummer! sorry to hear about your Mako trip. Guess that rain really did a number on the chances of things today. I honestly was blown away that during the rain they were bag testing hulk. Bless their hearts. If I recall it sounds like you pushed back your Uni trip too. I think its a good idea with all these rumors of problems during testing. And the long line extension is mostly outdoors. Just think about it. that line will fill up fast. If its going to rain hard today and tomorrow that will be alot of soggy bottoms in their nice dry vehicles.

If your kid is scared. Don't ride this. Go play with Barney. Or get a baby sitter when you go to islands. If they remove scare actors at any point I will be let down by their production value. This is why we pay big bucks to come back again and again.
Goodness, it is good to finally unbutton my pants behind the scenes. Behind, because I am not sure what might be very unique and what is not. It's just nice to prove I haven't been whistling dixie...
I would feel sorry for them if that is the only way to get to the child swap. They obviously want to ride the ride, but have to go thru the queue to get to child swap. Now if they direct people to single rider and somewhere else. Then I think the scare actors will be fine. I also imagine they will see who they are scaring, they do in HHN. They target certain people who look more scared than others.
There are plenty of kids who are going to be scared who are way past the Barney stage. First off all I don't know any kid who actually watches Barney, but that is for another thread. My daughter's favorite ride is Space Mountain. I still think this ride will scare her. She wants to go on and I am not going to complain as I know what I am getting myself into and so does she. Thanks to a suggestion from Teebin about watching the Myth Explorer with her. But most parents are not as educated as I am.

So my son and I were at IOA all day today. It was fun to see so many people from the boards and to just feel the excitement in the air for Kong. I didn't stay in front of the ride all day, but rather passed by every so often to check in. The facade and RVs are just massive in person, much bigger than I had a sense of from photographs. It's all quite impressive. The TMs were very patient repeatedly explaining to confused guests what the ride was and why so many people were hanging around. Also, it was great to meet and talk to @Disneyhead

This is kind of off topic but at HHN I just wait between transitional doors like the hanging plastic for a couple extra seconds so that the group in front of me has cleared the room. Everything jumps out at you if you have a good gap.
Dave (Disneyhead) is really good people. :thumbsup:So my son and I were at IOA all day today. It was fun to see so many people from the boards and to just feel the excitement in the air for Kong.

I still cannot believe people waited outside the gates to attempt to ride this. Why wait 6 hours outside a ride? when you can wait 3 hours in a line for a ride.
