Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Teebin]

My mind can't wrap around what a roof projection would look like for some reason

It will be grayscale and white I would expect. Shadows of creatures on the roof and they could even create false foot dents in the fabric to show the weight of the creatures above with the bodies appearing a more pale gray. This is and was my conjecture only. I went BONKERS over the theoretical idea of it when I was told about it months and months ago.

They also mis-hung the projector over the 1st motion platform and then relocated it to the 360 room (I think this is how it was rehung. I know the mistake was made.). I believe this could only work with a bright sky overhead which the 360 has.

I haven't watched a video of RoK but I have seen video of Kong 360. I remember some parts where Kong jumps over the tram and I think he also throws a V-Rex over it at one point and since this ride is based somewhat on the USH scene are those possible projections as well as the bugs?

Also, if it wasn't obvious to everyone here, this tech seems like it was put to full test on the Hogwarts Express already

I love those Hogwart's Express shadows on the doors scenes. They even seem more real than the outdoor scenes, which I like greatly also.

Yeah, it would be shadows of kong and the dinos as well. I just think that bugs would unnerve some people to insanity.
A real quick and hacked photoshop of what I imagine:

And remember, they will be creeping around over and under each other and 3-7 feet long... Heapers geepers!

Creepy, gruesome, heepers geepers!!! :yikes: Bob Iger comes to mind.

The roof projections as a whole are pretty awesome! Its nothing too noticible, but just adds a bit more detail and realism to the attraction. Its pretty cool seeing the bugs just crawling about on the roof etc.

oh hello there..

Felipe doesn't even come on here any longer. He is a real Potter fan and that must be partially why... that and other understandable things. I miss him on here.

aww..is Teebs here being nostalgic? That's a first.

 

[bluer101]

In line now. 45 min wait.

Yeah, nostalgic, and yet, I promise that I don't show it very often. I sit on it as private feelings. I hope that is ok.

 

[bluer101]

Nothing new that I noticed.

For those that are curious there is a certain post on the facebook passholder page about a break down and in the comments there are some behind the scene pics. Don't know how long they will be there but one of them is the 360 platform for those that care. It looks different from the Hollywood platform. Very interesting behind the scene look.

Getting so hyped for my first ride and hoping everything works properly!!!

It's kind of bittersweet in a way though. After Kong my biggest excitement for either USF or IoA is Nintendo unless Pets comes before then. More and more F&F is seeming like a Kong knockoff that won't be nearly as good unlike the Transformers and Spider-Man comparison where TF stands on its own really well imo even if SM still has the edge.

Good luck. Again. :thumbsup:

I'm still around! I've just been really busy with work / school / family stuff... I'm gonna be checking in here more often Miss the OU forums!

Reigning it back on topic, I was susprised to see that TV spot. I've seen the billboard on I-4 and heard the radio spot... ok maybe not so surprised. I wonder when the media blitz will finally happen and they'll officially call it open...

 

[Mike S]

Good luck. Again. :thumbsup:

I'll be going after it officially opens.

Man... still no opening date announced? I have a feeling we're just gonna wake up and an opening ceremony will just be taking place.

Kong better have a frickin' laser beam attached to his frickin' head.

Since the press will be invited some of them will give us a heads up on social media.
