Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Teebin]

What kind of engineer would be in charge of the rfid wi-fi stuff? A communications engineer? I am kinda shocked I don't know the answer to that... and I ask an obnoxious number of questions!

Edit: I also parked in King Kong :clap:

[Mike S]

The Witch room is amazing...

 

[Mike S]

I hear people screaming but I'm already past the natives and none came out at me

8:30 AM on a Sunday morning and a 90 minute wait. Geeze, no one wants to ride this disaster. Oh well, may as well just watch a You Tube video. Why waste my money.

I only saw one native when I went, very briefly.

In the corridor just before you turn into the part where the natives and flailed bodies are, there also is a wide open space to the left, does anyone know if this is for a scare actor?

That animatronic... :jaw:

The 360 scene too...

First impression though is that Forbidden Journey and Spider-Man still top it. I'll ride it more times to see about Gringotts.

Hurry up & get back in line. Was the outdoor portion open? I'm guessing yes since you said you saw the trucks going by.

I love the gasps that the animatronic gets. The ride is the perfect blend of new school Universal and old school Universal.

Yes indeed

Even though the ride technically opened weeks ago, I'd say it's now truly open now that Mike S has finally ridden it.

And no hiccups too!!!

I didn't notice anything substantial on the roof though. The 3D is easily the best I've seen.

All that's left now is the wait for Nintendo...

 

[LiamRowbotham]

I'm so glad you got to ride it and enjoyed it Mike. Well earned.
Top work and patience mate.

The wind and water effects in the 360 are incredible.

Congrats Mike S, you've spotted the white whale and striked him too!!! As Moch said, the ride is now officially open lol

The Official opening predictor (Mike S.) got his Official ride. :thumbsup: UC should have had Mike West greet him with a Butterbeer toast.

That is great to hear. Universal has still got it. Not that there was any doubt.

Second ride over. I was in the back all the way to the left. Not as good as my first ride in row 6 on the right but still in the middle. My second ride though there was some cheering after the 360 scene ended, then gasps from the same people when we got to Kong. Best AA I've ever seen, bar none. The facial expressions are spot on. I know it isn't but the ride does feel short. I'm attributing that to the excitement of the 360 scene.

Second impression of the ride, I don't know. Mummy and Gringotts are different kinds of rides since they're coasters and then we have MIB. Decisions, decisions... Do I have to rank them?
