Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Imperius]

Godzilla needs an attraction, but he doesn’t need Kong part of it. Kong is irrelevant to Godzilla’s popularity.

Ok so Godzilla is still a long shot but better chance than a new Kong. Maybe it’s also because Kong lacks enemies.

Ok, you've been discussing this moot point for five pages now. Please drop it as it's not going anywhere and derailing this thread.

I got it man you seem angry. I wasn’t being rude or anything.

I mean, I don't see @Joe's post as being angry..but it's stating a point that is relevant.

You have been making the same point, of Kong and the Monsterverse; for multiple weeks at this point.

Let alone the five pages, it has become as if you are beating a horse to death, multiple times. Trust me, I love redundancy when it makes sense..but there can sometimes be a limit.

This thread, isn't about that either. This thread, is about an attraction in Islands of Adventure that opened nearly two years ago.

Time sure does fly. Feels like yesterday.

Heck, I was thinking about when they started putting the cut-out/painted "mountains" on the exterior today. It really doesn't seem like two years. Next thing you know, we'll be talking about how the rides were at the Nintendo section of the new park.

The buildup and events surrounding the opening are still fresh. Hard to believe we are looking at two coasters building since. One almost done and another breaking ground.

Wasn’t trying to drag this conversation on about Kong it’s just I don’t understand why their won’t be anything done in theme park form for the new movies. I guess we can talk about maybe upgrading the long attraction and eventually take away the 3D glasses like on the forbidden journey. Since 3D glassses will become old overtime .

I honestly think the projection and 3D will be updated over time

Honestly, that's what I'd anticipate more than anything.

With the partnership that Universal has with Christie, I wouldn't be surprised if down the road, Kong gets projector updates to go 8K (with resolutions updated in the process).

I'd also not be shocked if 3D gets phased out, in a similar way to how FJ in Hollywood received those changes.

I'd actually be surprised. Kong was designed to showcase 3D. FJ was never supposed to be 3D.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes. and it appears F&F is even worst without it's originally intended 3D. Kong is great with 3D. No need to change it. I think it would really suffer if it wasn't 3D.

Intriguing thought. I'm sure 3D is on its way out, but I'm not enough of a specialist in 3D screens to know if they could yank them from ALL rides.

Plus, I get a shield from worm spit with the glasses. Can't tell you how many times I've been hit right in the eye from the spider in FJ.

The day they invent a glasses-less 3D, it will be a beautiful thing

They have. It’s called physical props.

Every form of 3D has drawbacks. I was most impressed with FOP's 3-D glasses though. How the heck are they so transparent. They're obviously passive but they are the clearest 3D lenses I've ever seen. (The worst is Star Tours. For some weird reason, every glasses doesn't;t have the 3D coating all the way to the top - so when you bounce around the 3D effect disappears for a moment and the image blurs.)

What is this new ad?

There are rooms at Cabana that face the Kong show building with Hollywood Way in between, so this isn’t that far off
