Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Bulldog45]

Have they opened the Express line yet? Or is it still just Regular and Single Riders? Thinking about heading up for Labor Day weekend and would most likely stay on-site to use Express.

The opening of Kong and Hulk have had other effects. Lines at Seuss trolley and Doom were much shorter than I expected. The Rope drop line was much busier to the left. It used to always be busier to the right for Harry Potter.

Comic strip cafe is halfway in between Hulk and Kong. It was also much busier than I am used to see it.

I have heard rumors that demand for bananas and human sacrifices are up, but I have no independent verification of this.

Last time I checked they were not using the express line yet. Express line does not show up as an option for Kong on the app. It does show up as an option for Hulk.

Interesting, didn't think those two attractions shared the same riders

I thought I heard someone mention that they won't be doing Express for the foreseeable future?

Well the current single rider line will eventually be the express line and the exit re ride line will be the single rider line. I think.

You may be on to something. CITH and Poseidon's Fury wait times have been lower than their historical levels since Kong opened. The park may be more left handed entrance oriented than previously.........Before Hulk opened Doom had pretty long lines. So if Doom is down a bit, it may be somewhat due to Hulk opening.

Now I see why CITH would have lower lines.

CITH needs a serious makeover.

Never actually been on it.. only the train one in seuss land

That could use one too.

It's a pretty funny ride.

 

[Mad Dog]

If they would restore the spinning to CITH, and a slight refurb, it would be fine.

Remember that Kong is a family friendly ride. Almost anyone can ride. The only ride a lower height requirement is ET. If it pulls away even a small amount of guests from the family friendly rides it has a big effect. Many of those rides are low capacity.

Aww man they took the spinning away? Any idea why?

Little kids issues with the seating safety or something along those lines.

There were incidents with the spinning, not to mention lots of lost items. Personally, I hate spinning in rides so I am glad to see it toned down.

 

[captainmoch]

I do think it alienated a lot of crowds. For example, my mom can't ride rides that spin at all. When I was much younger at IOA, she practically couldn't ride a thing. The least they could do is make the only family dark ride accessible to everybody.

And yet Men In Black still spins, with the exact same ride system...

That's a very different situation. If Men In Black was in the kid's area of the park and was the only family-friendly dark ride in USF, they probably would have removed spinning there too. (But yeah, that's another reason I want Universal to add more slow-moving dark rides. I know a lot of people who get easily motion-sick and can't ride things that spin/shake/drop/etc. They have no reason to go to Universal whatsoever. And I do feel like adding more slow-moving dark rides could really help attract that crowd.)

Mario Kart better spin or else
