How many minutes can they keep this attraction running without a breakdown now? It went offline for an estimated 40 minutes today, at least once.

Seems pretty normal for a new ride. I kind of expect new Universal rides to break down a lot the first year.

What I would like to know is where did all the background folks go after the wee show in front of the entrance. It appeared they were all parading in from Toon Lagoon. Perhaps they were sent to sit in the stadium/theater to wait?

IOA was a complete park. Albeit, small. But all bases covered. DCA was an incomplete park at opening. $2 Billion later, it is about where IOA was after Hogsmeade.

In other words. IOA was a more complete park than DCA upon opening.

He was saying it was a complete park meaning it didn't need more rides. I disagree, I think it needed more rides long term to make it fresh, give more capacity, extend park hours, etc.

On topic, yeah my family went on Kong and got stuck outside on the ride for like 40 minutes. In the sun, that isn't fun. However, i think it's to be expected. Most new rides break down quite often. When UO opened, almost all the rides weren't working. So I don't think that's a problem.

As someone mentioned, I do believe that Islands has a large emphasis on water rides. With Toon Lagoon and Jurassic Park, you really have to be okay with the possibility of being soaked. On Dudley's and Jurassic, I've been able to dry off quickly. With Popeye's, it's almost never. Not to mention, Kong isn't quite dry, you get quite wet on that too. I'm shocked you don't see "you may get wet" signs. Islands needs more rides that cater to dark ride fans, and rides that don't get you completely soaked. Water effects are alright, but there isn't enough. I feel like Poseidon's Adventure, FJ, Spider-man, and Cat in the Hat are the only rides you can ride when it's storming, and I feel like there should be more, idk. I love Islands though, but I don't think I'd feel happy paying money just to go to Islands and not UO, if that makes any sense.

Skull Island: Reign of Kong park maps are here! Also, I was way too excited to see this.

Is this the first time Potter hasn't been on the cover since 2010?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but is Reign of Kong shown as its own 'area' on the map?

I know the apps have added Kong but the official downloadable maps on the Universal Orlando website have yet to add Skull Island. I know some folks posted a zoomed in version of the map before but would anyone mind posting the ENTIRE new map complete with land breakdowns, and ride categorization and descriptions that surround the new map? I'm amazed that I still can't track one down.

The "land" is Skull Island: Reign of Kong, and the only thing in that land is Skull: Island: Reign of Kong. It looks weird on the map.

I'm with you. They atleast could have gone the Singapore way and name JP/Kong to "The Lost World".

But how is it listed on the left of the actual land visual representation of the land? For example, see HERE for the official map. To the left where they list all the islands, does it get its own color code and heading followed by the attraction? Why oh why can't someone on twitter post the full map? Sigh.

It has it's own color, heading, and ride number.

I remember seeing a pic but I can't find it now.

You have won the day good sir! And yes, I agree that it's ridiculous that they didn't just name the island, "Skull Island" and the ride, "Reign of Kong"
