Mon Valley? I'm from Elizebeth

I live in Elizabeth Township, a few blocks from Butler's Golf Course and overlooking Swiss Alpine Village. I'm originally from Glassport, went to South Allegheny. Did you go to EF?....One of the guys that played the Aykroyd character in the Blues Brothers show is from Mon City.

Yes I went to EF.

Sorry Guys. Back to the topic!

Like a second language, they too mostly use the term soccer instead of football so as not to confuse. But the club team system I founded is the "Mon Valley United Football Club" ( I'm to the goalie's right in the picture)(sponsored by Straubs Beer), so I keep the official term.

Good man.

I always found it funny playing mini golf in the states that when somebody hit a bad shot, if they were American, they would always stop the ball with their hands but people from the UK would always use their feet. The difference being that football is the main sport here and most US sports you use your hands.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand/foot.

Jim Hill from Jim Hill Media just posted a synopsis of the whole ride from a tour the Huffington Post was invited on.
Here's the link (I would quote it but its a little too much text to quote): Everything's big about Universal Orlando's opening-in-2016 Skull Island: Reign of Kong

From the article above: "This transmission is supposed to tell our driver where he or she needs to go once we get out in the field"

Is there any word on if this ride will have a single riders line?

As much as I love that this is shaping up to be a great ride with some good old fashion animatronics and practical effects. I love that there is going to be a human element in this.

I believe it will, although I cannot quite figure out the final 40' of the journey. It reminds me of Spider Man in that part of the walk would be next to the exit queue. I would say the chance is 70% yes.

I took the driver as being an actor/guide upfront like Jaws and the original Kong had. Poor choice of words on my end.

Time will tell!

That look is telling me that maybe, just maybe, the driver is an AA or projection.

Mercy... for all I know, the driver might be the VP of Engineering for UOR...

Your references are head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[GAcoaster]

Driver is an AA from what I've heard...

Yikes... With guests being that close that AA is going to look ugly (not only from guests touching it but the fact that AAs look really fake from up close).

 

[GAcoaster]

I would assume the driver will be up in the "cab" while the passengers are all in the bed of the truck.

 

[Teebin]

Yep, the cab appears to be glassed in and completely seperate in the following concept picture.

And your point is? .........What's the difference between an AA and the VP of Engineering? :shrug:

I think you need to check in with j.med. J.med has served you well in the past...
