Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[hishedale]

All it takes is one moronic teenager to try and get "a lit Snapchat Story" and then selfie sticks are completely banned.

Would it be open by August of this year?

Barring a major setback (very unlikely), yes it will.

I heard that the crew members have a major problem with the ride lately. Is that true?

Orlando Parks News.com just posted a new Kong photo display.

Not at all. Just hiccups that new rides normally experience.

Ok, I believe it's not likely that the ride opens until July or August right?

 

[Ryan]

It sounds more like a Diagon Alley/Gringotts situation. No major setbacks as in intended opening date, just a matter of if and when softs occur as we approach the date.

100% chance of Purple Reign

 

[Cole]

Just be patient guys, I know it's a new ride and it's exciting to sit and wait but I think we're over our heads right now in terms of "it can open anyday now!!!"

no Prince jokes, still in mourning

Late June is when most expect it to officially open.

No.

The more proper thought should be "another piece of the wall could come down any day now!!"

 

[hishedale]

A Prince/Kong concert series?
Little Banana Corvette?
When Kong Cries?

 

[Ryan]

"I Wanna Be Your Driver" sung by a creepy AA

Exactly. The work walls aren't even down yet we're all acting like tomorrow the entire thing will run flawlessly lol

Couple things I got from "Man who must not be named" over the weekend.

Spoiler: Mild Spoilers

1. "Timing Issue" that I mentioned several days ago has been corrected
2. Vast majority of cast members have been on a full ride through
3. Every ride through up until Friday went flawlessly and seems to have a pretty solid operation reliability
4. Que "rehearsals" still going on, the jist is that they're still trying to figure out the level that they're looking to crank it up to while guests/kids are in line. The plan is for the evening version of the que to still be "creepier"
5. The "main attraction" has impressed everyone so far, it's bits and pieces leading up to the ape are what some "higher ups" have issues with. (This is fascinating to me because how on earth did they not realize what they were getting?)
6. There have been minor gripes concerning the trucks as far as getting the best view goes while on ride.

No problem, I really try to share things without flat out spoiling the ride. I just feel lucky to have inside info!
