The drivers narration sounds so blah, with no emotions. "Hey, who looked him in the eye"

someone took one for the team i guess lol. I kind of wish i didn't watch it now tho :/

I thought everything looked pretty awesome, small preview though. The narration felt so odd, little corny. still, I'm ecstatic I get to go in December

Found one that's 45 seconds long

That's what I'm saying. The narration sounds so fake. A live human would have made it more exciting.

Something I want to point out even as is, with the quality of the video is this.

Kong's movements, look just as smooth as all the previews for it; and that makes me VERY happy on many levels. Especially considering that DAK screwed up their "Kong" so many years ago, it makes me happy to see Universal do that AA right.

There's a video on YouTube of a short POV of the ride. Kong AA looks ridiculous.

I watched the video, doesn't honestly show much of the new stuff, aside from the Kong AA. We get a shot of the car pulling into the 360 room and a short snippet of a scene that we've seen before form the Hollywood version.

Yea because Disney pushed the limits and went where no ones gone before. (More than 10 years ago) It looks great but you can't compare the movement of the Yeti when it was running. Now it's on Disco mode. I commend Disney for being ambitious.

Kong looks awesome though.

HAHAHAHA i'd recommend you don't watch it if you're planning on visiting soon to see it in real life because i'm kind of less excited now

Less excited like it looks bad or less excited like you wished you waited to see it in person?

At least for me, when something looks good, it makes me want to see it even more. Too bad it's just half his body.

It looks great but I think I would have been blown away more now if I had seen it for the first time in person

The real thing in rides is always way more fun & experience than these bad videos or even the You Tube stuff. I wouldn't worry. You'll still love it & be amazed. :thumbsup:

That would've been awesome. From the video it looks like the AA starts just below the chest and its in a dark room. Do his arms even move? Can anyone confirm if he's in a jungle setting?

What are you all looking at and commenting on?

Well with how much focus is on the face if there's a way that the rest is cleverly "hidden" that's fine by me. It's not like incomplete AA bodies of big things haven't been done before (JPRA, Dinosaur, Jaws, Kongfrontation, etc.).

I think someone said before that it's like you're on the edge of a cliff in that scene.

There was a youtube video of a TM recording certain sections of his/her ridethrough of ROK. That, I believe was what we we're commenting.
