Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[williamhansard]

In light of all this talk of perhaps maybe an imminent possible soft opening, I have a question. Once it begins, how exactly does a soft opening work? Will the walls be down and the ride accessible, and you just go wait like for any ride? Or do you have to be chosen or sign up or something?

A million different ways. We believe walls will come down with a chain blocking off the ride if not open. Softs can start and stop at any time until the ride officially opens.

Thanks for the info, and for humoring a newbie! I would just like to say that I really love this forum, everyone is very friendly and informative. I have a feeling I will be hanging around here long after I go on my first Universal trip in June.

I hope the queue is terrifying

Yes, it's the same witch as in the film pretty much. Technically she's a few years younger as the 8th Wonder takes places before the film crew arrival. And it's so dark because the flames aren't going.

Was she made by Creature Technology?

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

That sounds creepy already

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Correct me if I'm wrong: there are 4 rumored AA's in the ride right? Kong being the obvious 1 of them, she count as well? Or would she not count since she's in the queue?

No. A company in NH or VT created the robotic characters. I know the company but just don't feel like looking up the site right now.

It would count. How did you nail 4 so well? It appears that to some there are more based on limited reviews of the 3D. I am also surprised that one unique effect isn't being mentioned. Perhaps they didn't use it on the TMs?

 

[Mad Dog]

The only way I could see this happening is a death or crash of the economy and visitors to UOR. Otherwise, this park ain't the MK.

On another note, doesn't the queue look very dark! Almost darker than Mummy where I always tripped on the stairs... :saywhat:

Yeah, Mummy's tough. I bumped into a wall four times on my first ride last week. Ouch! :bang:

I could've sworn that you or another forum member were saying that number a few pages ago or so hahaha I'm trying be better at keeping up I promise!

"Unique effect?" She doesn't spit water does she???

Welcome to the forum, hang on it'll get bumpy the next few weeks.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

also you have to remember universal isnt afraid of having people die in their shows or rides.T2 guide dies by getting choked to death.MIB you blow up the roach.Mummy Reggie dies.So ya universal isn't afraid to show death or violence.

Spoiler

Heard somewhere about video screen natives popping out in the queue, is that what your talking about?

On a side note, we really are starting to need that spoiler thread

 

[deathcab4cutie]

do we really need one.If your posting or reading threads about a ride most likely you don't mind spoilers.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Spoiler Thread, discussing details and everything about the ride will be started by a mod or admin the day soft openings start.

Would love to know the company, if it's possible! I never knew we had anything that cool up here. Would be cool to try to set up a tour...
