Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[ChrisFL]

That is so weak. I know it is a technical rehearsal and all that jazz but I will be pretty bummed if I drive an hour and a half and it doesn't soft.

Softs are no guarantee of anything...there's no set schedule AT ALL, if you get lucky to ride, then it's just that, you're lucky

To clarify, I wasn't referring to the number of jump-scares/scare-actors, just the level and nature of the theming. There's a lot of skulls, decaying bodies, etc. There's an ominous vibe I've only had before from the best HHN houses.

That said, the lone scare-actor I saw (despite at least 4 boo holes) got a scream at least 6 times in a row. That's rare for even the best HHN actor.

I see what you mean. I think it's pretty close to what Dueling Dragons was in that regard.

Softs are not happening today folks

Can you stop posting rumors as facts?

I don't know if we ever cleared up the discussion about the vehicles. Do they create artificial movement or is it really soft suspension? The outside segment, the bus moves about quite a bit but the roads look fairly smooth from what I could see.

The outside road has big bumps and dips that were built on purpose. That is why the vehicles tip and sway that way.

Screens 2 and 3 the vehicle parks on motion tables that lock the vehicles in and then they tip, bump and jolt the trucks in a big way. The vehicles have no mech built in to make them tippy.

Lots of TM's at the gate right now making announcements "no technical rehersals planned for today"

Technical Rehersals are never planned

So how do they accomplish the tipping and jolting in the outside part? Sorry I'm very interested in the ride mechanics on this ride

They're telling us to move on. No plans for softs today they say.

They said that yesterday too.

They said it the day I got on a soft opening of Transformers as well

Someone should take little mini "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" story books and pass them out to the TM's at these things.

I know. That's why I said I know it's a technical rehearsal. :saywhat:

I'm allowed to be bummed if it happens.

I know, just giving ya'll real time feedback

 

[Floridaguy34]

People are in denial when they say no soft openings they mean no soft opening

 

[Alicia]

I'm just telling you what they're telling us. I didn't say I believed it. They do have a megaphone though.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Technical Rehersals happen when they happen and have no schedule.

Please stop posting back to back to back "TMs say no rehearsals!" and conjecture as fact.

If i had to drive to the park 3 hours i would appreciate the input and no negativity

They said no soft openings yesterday. This denial must be hitting me really hard because I'm imagining that I rode it yesterday.

 

[SandiestPirate]

Were supposed to be united guys...

 

[LiamRowbotham]

What's the latest merchandise they've added?

They said no softs yesterday and look how that turned out. It's standard protocol not to get people's hopes up or make them spend time and money elsewhere in the park.
