Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Edit: so what do I get if my prediction is right @Mad Dog?

You get a Thirsty Fish drink and a pizza from Sal's at Portofino if you join us for our meet up in the fall with Dave (Disneyhead) on Portofino's piazza. .

Universal: 'Today' show Skull Island segment set - Orlando Sentinel

Edit: So, I guess we can call it what it is now..because this has now been added to the commercials.

It's going to be really embarrassing when The Today Show rides Kong live with 125 passholders this Wednesday morning before park opening and the ride doesn't work.

 

[JoeCamel]

Maybe 7/14 as it is auspicious? My 7/1 is out the window.

"You are invited to participate in a special in-park moment at our newest attraction, Skull Island: Reign of Kong™, and be a part of the audience during the TODAY Show's live broadcast from Universal Orlando Resort™ on July 13. Later, skip the regular lines to experience Skull Island: Reign of Kong for yourself. This complete opportunity is exclusive to Annual Passholders only.

We will require an audience for a four hour duration from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. We ask that all participating audience members arrive no later than 5 a.m.

Some important notes about this experience:

• Resort casual clothing is recommended (Please avoid logo'd apparel if possible)
• During the broadcast segments, Universal Orlando Public Relations and Special Events Team Members will be on hand to help guide where participants stand, when to scream and cheer, and more. We encourage participants to have fun!"

FYI, the 125 slots are full (of course).

Will Kong even be open to the GP on Wednesday?

Edit: Considering only 125 people will be in the audience that's not even 2 full vehicles, they'll probably let them ride when the broadcast is done.

Why would anyone want to arrive at 5am? The people who highly desire to be seen on tv boggles my mind. I watch the Today show occasionally and I always wonder what it is with such people.

Standard for a TV show live, they want to get a count, move people into position, get them warmed up, do a test, and then film live. Did this with Fallon (not the 5am bit).

I finally caught the commercial on TV a few times tonight. It's great.

If I was staying at Royal Pacific right now I would sleep in. I not going to play sheep number 362. I go to a theme park to go to the theme park and not a tv show. However, I do enjoy watching them film movies and commercials at the parks!

I think this is for locals mostly and I've heard they've been recruiting TMs too.

Surprised it's been so long since Ellen's stopped by and Fallon only showed up once so far. But there's been nice scripted presence lately with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Barely Famous, etc.

TNA, La Voz, La Artista and a few more too

Yeah, I was local, and I had an entertainment manager hold a special place for me at the opening of Mummy, and yet I still could not make it in time. I need a lot of zoning in the morning.

It's not really about getting on tv it's more of just a really fun experience of seeing a live production and being apart of it. Different spokes for different folks but it would be a blast to do this, envy everyone who is

Yeah, it is kind of an old fart thing, and yet, I have been an old fart since I was 19.

You did get an early start on that.

Would've been a great way to celebrate my birthday but considering I live about 3 hours away 5 a.m. doesn't work. Then the fact it's already full.

Whatever, it's the thought that counts. Thanks Universal

Rode last night. Posted wait time was 45 minutes. And we waited about that long, but man that line moved so fast it sure didn't feel that way. We got off about 9 and it looked like they had closed the line for the night. I wonder if it will be closed today so nothing breaks before the Today show event.

 

[Nick]

How is the wait?

As for the trash, this is a design flaw. They should have built utilidoors and underground tunnels and dumped all the trash directly into there.:ears:ixie:

I know i'm being extremely anal in saying this, but the MK trash cans don't directly dump into the tunnels. That would however make things more efficient, though.
