That bad, wow. They really must've overestimated the way to implement the technology in that ride. Was it something specific that caused problems or just the whole mixture of different technologies?

Gringotts had lower tech than it should have had in some areas, and lots of high tech where it mattered that was too cutting edge.

Orlando Parks News.com just posted a large Kong photo display. Lots of shots of the queue....By the way, what ever happened to Alicia Stella? She used to post a ton of great photos and videos here.

I like how you can see it from Toon Lagoon..attempts to distract you from the awful themeing of that area

it's probably going to be a question that will be avoided If Teebin can answer, why did you ask on if Weta digital was involved on the Hollywood Kongs visuals? Was it due to possible updating of Universal going at it to redo the entire film to make it possibly longer Its a potential spoiler question, but i'm very interested to see if we're dealing with a Spiderman 2.0 situation on the case of the film getting upgraded to 4K.

EDIT: And in-case if anyone is wondering what the hell am I talking about, its due to that Teebin asked on if Weta was involved in the case of creating Hollywoods visual effects for Kong a few pages back.

Oh gosh... it is late and I am getting too old for this. I learned something at the time, but now I can't recall what it was. F F F! I was connecting weta to... Oh... I remember now... LOL! I cannot talk about it except to say that I learned that Richard Taylor was involved with another company here in the US.

It was regarding an entirely different project and it was just a guess and connection. I feel positive that Richard has met Universal Creative people... even though he is not really part of Weta Digital.

Are you sure that Richard Taylor isn't the Creative Director of a little company called Weta Workshop? As if this is not the same Richard Taylor that's talking to UC, then I may be out of loop. In any case; its going to be interesting to see how the film changes from its older brother in Hollywood.

 

[Teebin]

It is that Richard Taylor, yes. It has nothing to do with Kong...

Interesting.

Weta has to be involved in some way shape or form. Atleast for models and stuff

 

[Disneyhead]

Let's not forget Weta also worked on Godzilla, LOTR, and The Hobbit.

They also worked on Krampus and Warcraft.

Remember, this is me shooting into a dark hole, guessing an idea, a distant connection based on something Uni is searching for. It is probably nothing at all.

Isn't Taylor/WETA involved with Magic Leap, an augmented reality tech company based in FL that's raising 1.4 billion and backed by Google? Really cool technology... magicleap.com

I have a question. The part of toon lagoon in front or on the side of this ride, will it be rethemed??
It sounds weird.

Let me try again.

All of the lands in IOA have the walkway and shrubs themed and they change as the theme does. Does Kong gets it's on walkway or share Jurassics and Toons?

Maybe Weta digital are the ones doing the Terminator project?
