I haven't stayed up to date on this expansion at all.
Anyone have a good summary of what to expect? Also, it's safe to assume this has nothing to do with the film Kong Skull Island considering Universal is no longer involved, and it's moved to WB with Legendary?

Your assumption is correct, according to previous posts by Teebin. But, even though it is not related to any film, it's setting is similar to the beginning lost world aspects of the 30's, 70's and 2005 films.
Cool, I prefer the setting anyways. The new film is a 'reboot' of the classic Kong concept, and set during the Vietnam War.. The 1930's are a way cooler setting, assuming some of that era translates despite the Skull Island setting.
According to Teebin it is a 1930's setting. Type of vehicle etc.
Yeah, but I believe Universal has since released that date in their media hype. Didn't they?

Thinking about it now, every Disney & Universal park in Orlando has a Dragon in some form.
MK in both parades, Epcot has Figment, DHS in Fantasmic!, AK in the logo and soon the Dragon like Banshees of Pandora, USF in Diagon Alley, and finally IoA in Hogsmeade. So if Uni gets the rights to LoTR and builds their third park, I still want to see Smaug
Let's not forget Smaug is very different from the Dragons of Harry Potter. Huge and intelligent. A ride where he's hunting you down would be great. Plus, imagine this being a scene in the ride like the Giant Squid in 20K at DisneySea.
Rivendell can always replace Lost Continent at IoA. Anyway, :topic:

You're forgetting a dragon at Universal.
So no photo op once you get off the ride?
That's just an image I found on google but man, does that take me back.
Oh, no shop?
I thought there would be some sort of shop or something within Skull Island to make it more than a single ride.

If you look back I didn't say a specific number because I knew there were multiples.
ThanksGood come back.
Btw, anyone else watching King Kong on SyFy right now? It's the Bug Pit scene. I really hope they nail this in the ride. So disturbing.......

Newbie here but I have to say this attraction makes me want to go back the Islands. Haven't been since 2007.
