Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[AlexanderMBush]

I meant, like, on a day they decide to do a soft opening, how long do they usually let people into the ride before they close it down again? Or is it open all day during a soft opening day?

As I said, its unpredictable. It can be for most of the day, or only for the last two-one hours of the park hours. It will really all depend on if theres a few factors into the mix, like plenty of TM's in full costume coming in; or (for when USH did it), having a line set-up to go into the area to ride it (USH did this for Hogsmeade, and it turned out very interestingly).

So those who waited may be hit with a big "Bummer" stick -

Plan was for softs in late afternoon, but the higher powers decided TM Previews were the better option.

This was what I was suspecting. And that's okay. I still had a great time hanging out with everyone. You think tomorrow afternoon might be for guests? Or will tropical storm stand in the way?

Makes me curious more about Tomorrow then..

So are they planning softs for tomorrow instead?

Some background on this attraction. HTF was the first to have the confirmation of it and I was kinda honored that he also mentioned that "Teebin is going to hate this". He knew that the Hogwarts and bridge intrusion destroyed me. I stared at his post like newly broken glass. Alas, I am diplomatically pragmatic and I figured they had ruined one entrance, they might as well ruin the other.

Then I found my way on the inside when I least expected it. I have no use for King Kong and I don't understand the allure of it. But it was a chance for me to know more about the industry than I could have imagined. Sad part is that I can't talk much about it... my own rules... no one elses. So, there you have it.

That doesn't provide any background on the attraction at all. It just looks like a really strange humble-brag.

Wow, skulls look awesome when they're wet!

As of now, nothing is set. The crappier weather tomorrow might deter them, but it can obviously change on a whim.

Honestly, I doubt it will open for Softs tomorrow.

hmm..

In a strange way, it sounds familar to someone that I can't remember that did VO work for some of Disney's attractions..I can be wrong about that though.

They must get that JP music out of the entrance area. Right now it is a brain twister.

They'll probably make it louder soon enough..or add more speakers in praying that it'd lessen the JP Music.

So I'm guessing my source may have been right with saying softs start tomorrow. All we can do is wait and see because apparently they have been making last minute changes. sighh

You can still hear JP in the extended queue at Hogwarts. It doesn't seem to be a priority for them to fix it.

I really want to defend your review and your ideology behind it, but posts like this do you no favors. Don't get sucked into the reputation. You stand by your comments, now let them stand on their own.

The skulls are really well done.

Better than the old ones in Dueling Dragons queue, which had a seam they had to cover with paint around the skullcap. These are seamless and all seam individually unique. Impressive.

So I wonder what the point of the 36" height restriction. It can't be safety since I would think then Hollywood would have a height restriction. If it is age it is even more dumb. Someone without kids made that height restriction because prior to 2 most kids don't fear much of anything. Then somewhere in the 2 to 4 they start to fear things. So just as they are tall enough for this ride they will start to fear the things in this ride. Like I would not hesitate to take my 1 year old on this, it is my 5 year old I debated. My 1 year old would not be scared at all. The only time she gets scared is if she hears her sister scream in fear.

Which is what makes the choices on some of the other queue and ride areas baffling.
