I’ll go down with the ship on Kong. It’s a good ride. The UOAP Facebook group is going to get me banned with people calling it the worst ride at Universal. Called them clueless, but I’m still there sadly.
It’s a good ride, yes. But that’s all it is. It’s also a ride that has a very underwhelming ending, despite the great Animatronic.I’ll go down with the ship on Kong. It’s a good ride.

Oh I know it has its issues, but when people say it’s the worst ride I find that hilarious.It’s a good ride, yes. But that’s all it is. It’s also a ride that has a very underwhelming ending, despite the great Animatronic.

Agreed.Oh, in no way is it the worst ride. I liken it to an E Ticket version of Mermaid: incredible queue, decent ride with some obvious flaws (such as poor integration of screens with the sets around them) and an arguably misguided choice of ride system.
Are they bad rides? No, but they’re never going to be venerated in the same way as Spidey, FJ, Haunted Mansion, etc., because they’re just not on that level.
William Ross worked on the Chamber of Secrets score. I don't think he has official writing credits, but most people believe he ghost wrote chunks of it. He's credited for "score adaptation" and conducting.
Here's a video I found of an Evac if anyone's interested:
I mean... it's sort of a little glimpse "behind the curtain" for guests so of course they're gonna want to take pictures or video. Let's not blame guests because they had to be evacuated from a ride and they decided to take some video while walking out."Sir, there's no phone please."
Just a little bit of why we don't get nice things, people recording when they shouldn't be doing so in the first place.

Like Rainforest Cafe, it has an absurdly long and at the end you ask yourself if it was really worth it...I didn't realize there was a Rainforest Cafe inside of Kong
There is not a ride out there that you can't ruin by refusing to buy into it's "reality".Ride for the first time in a while and very disappointed that when I sat smack in the middle I could very obviously see the bottom of the screen, I even sunk into my seat like a weirdo to see it from the POV of a child and could still see the bottom, yeesh.
Haha, I love this attraction, I’m not going out of my way to look at behind the scenes, I’m literally sitting smack dab in the middle of the cart, making observations about the attraction, and it’s pretty obvious the screen ends, even to first time riders. It’s even worse if you’re anywhere away from the middle. I’m not asking for perfect theming, but it’s reallly poor theming for a world class park like IOA.There is not a ride out there that you can't ruin by refusing to buy into it's "reality".
I think people lose sight of the fact we are talking about amusement park attractions.
I'd agree, but on Spider-Man, Forbidden Journey, Transformers, etc., you won't see the edges of the screen unless you actively look for them. On Kong, it's basically impossible not to notice. It's an oversight.There is not a ride out there that you can't ruin by refusing to buy into it's "reality".

Yes the 360 scene is a bit....flawed in executionI'd agree, but on Spider-Man, Forbidden Journey, Transformers, etc., you won't see the edges of the screen unless you actively look for them. On Kong, it's basically impossible not to notice. It's an oversight.
