Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Kong won't have any water portions or effects right?

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Yeah, my GF was directing and she did the opposite of the rhymes on purpose and subsequently we got way wetter than Kali rapids or Splash Mountain will ever get you.

Those are the worst Water rides I have ever been on. Didn't get wet and they are boring.

Splash Mountain is boring?

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Splash Mountain is boring?

Yeah. Just because 90% of people think it's awesome doesn't mean it is to everyone. I didn't find it interesting at all, then again not really sure what it is about since it is older than I am. Dudley is boring too FTR so I'm not picking on Disney or anything.

How is Splash boring, and not wet? I get it with some cases on Kali; but Splash atleast guarantees a small bit of soaking.

You definitely have some unique tastes.

I GUARANTEE there will be a water spray in your face at some point. I mean, it is a Universal attraction

If you're in the back left you will get very little water on you.

There was a water spray when kong punched a V Rex in 360 and it got me soaked. I bet you the exact same thing will happen in this one

Also to all the soundtrack posts, hell yes!!! The opening song has got to be played in the queue on an antique radio or something. Too good to ignore

The ride and mountain was basically built on top of it, so it's not like they can build a new one and simply move it in one night.

Why not? The current figure has been removed and put back at least twice in the last five years.

I didn't know that... Why was it removed at all?

 

[Marni1971]

At a guess to figure out how to fix it.

But I thought it was only the concrete base that was cracking...

Badly worded by me but I'm sure the foundation has cracked and that's the bigger issue. I think the Yeti can be replaced but it might make things worse. I think the current plan is to get Avatar opened and then shut the ride for a couple of months. I'm sure the people at Disney have a solution but seeing as Everest is the only big ride at AK and most people don't realise it's broke, they can't really afford to have it down for any length of time.

As of 2 1/2 years ago they did not have a solution or at least an easy one. But I do agree, they have no desire to close a ride that 95% of the people have no clue there is anything wrong in a park that needs rides.

kali is prob the worst water ride for getting wet i bought a change of shirts for that ride rode it and didn't get a single drop of water on me

This is what I had heard too. The AA can't move without high risk of further damaging the foundation, and it can't be taken apart or removed without removing part of the attraction facade which would also likely further damage the foundation.

This is super easy to fix. Build an AA that doesn't require the "force of a 747 jet" to move. Boom. Problem solved.

That was such a boneheaded decision in the first place.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

stop by the park today they started planting trees

 

[Teebin]

I have been thinking/wondering about the trees and plants they might put on the ride path.

One that comes to mind is Chorisia speciosa. The problem I see is the gorgious flowers that bloom in late spring. The trunk and limbs look like this:

Another is the more rare black timber bamboo...

which I have only seen planted in one 4' square location in Animal Kingdom's Asia. It is very austere.
