Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Legolas813]

The people in the queue had to leave because the ride stopped and evac'd. And they weren't going to get it working again that night. As far as cutting off the queue early, it's in technical rehearsal, they don't have to run it all day.

 

[epcyclopedia]

And the "technical rehearsal" continues to be carte Blanche to pull things operationally that would be completely unacceptable at any other attraction.

 

[OLSinFLA]

Yup. Its technically not open, its not listed on the app, the wait times are not posted on the board. Its still not running 100%, so yeah, they're not going to keep people in line when the ride may not come up until hours after closing.

TP showing Kong posted time at 45 minutes, 11:30 AM......No posted wait time for Frozen.

 

[GAcoaster]

Frozen was 120 minutes at 9:45 this morning.

Thanks. TP didn't have a posted wait for 11:30 so I was unsure whether it was running at the time.

 

[HulkCoach]

The ride met my expectations, which were high.


The queue scared my daughters completely, the littlest one won't do it again but my 9 year old loved it.

At noon; Kong Universal posted wait 60 minutes...FJ Universal posted wait 15 minutes. (from TP) .....Since Kong fully opened on Friday, it appears that Kong has lessened the FJ wait times, looking at the posted waits over the course of the day.

I just checked the app for wait times....for the 4th (if they're accurate) it's not that bad

Opening new attractions lessens the wait times at previously most popular attractions? If only Disney had access to this scientific data!

They should create a system to track everyone and get tons of data on their habits to learn info like this. Money should be no object to have a system like this. They should spend the money on this instead of attractions.

Oh, wait........

Orlando looks slow for the 4th so far. AK, DHS & Epcot line times are real low. MK is moderate. What happened to the old 4th of July days when they used to have to shut down MK to incoming guests?....Universal crowds look moderate at this time of the day.

Many people celebrated on Saturday. For others this is a travel day coming back from a three day weekend.

 

[NJBrandon]

Attendance is down everywhere. Though, I don't expect TEA to actually report that next year.

The entire weekend was slow at WDW. Lowest line times, by far, I've seen since I've been following it on TP.

I wonder if this is a nationwide park slowdown or just in Orlando.

Don't know if it's a trend outside Orlando. But these WDW line times the past few days, are what you would see during a slow week in Jan. or Feb. I know South America is an economic disaster, plus the Olympics down there keeping some people home. , but this seems to be more than just that.

Could world terrorism be having a small impact? TT said that Uni is off too. What else could be chasing the numbers lower?

 

[awhen]

Posted 45 minutes at the moment. Extended queue not in use, the line basically starts at the covered exterior portion.

Edit to add: I've timed the last three trucks at about 2:15 apart.

Universal definitely seems down. I would've thought 7/2 would have been the busiest Saturday of the Summer by far, but when I arrived around 4:30PM waits were pretty low. Like 25 minutes for Spidey, 20 for FJ, 20 for Gringotts, etc. Felt like the off season. Been checking waits periodically today (7/4), too, and I was seeing stuff like 20 for Spidey and 10-15 each for FJ and Gringotts around 2:00PM. It's nuts. Not sure what's going on.
