Few more photos:

Funny, when I first saw videos of the queue, I thought, "I wonder if Bri's cam will even be able to take pictures in there?".

From last night, during the lighting storm. Just taken from my phone, so not the best, but pretty cool none the less.

Has the ride been operating at night yet?

I'm very curious if at least for the outside potion all the floodlights on the RV will be on.

I think it would look that much more realistic and really set the tone of a venturing truck in the dark.

Not to mention the hype it would build of seeing headlights cross the vegetation around you as you wait in line outside.

Reminds me of the cool vibe the ET jeeps give off.

Obviously the inside cannot use these lights due to screen on screens on screens, but it would be really cool for the outside i think

Fourth at Universal seems in line with most of the other reviews. Third or fourth seems to be the most common ranking, with a few in at 2 and 5. I think we had a couple of 1's also.

I get the feeling that Kong is IOA's POTC on dry land......is that a fair comparison?

I would not compare the two, they are very different experiences

Do you mean as a future icon?

Any word on soft openings today? Also, can you use a guest assistance pass?

Yeah on the softs but I don't believe so on the GAP pass at the moment. Best to ask an attendant if any accommodation can be made.

 

[Teebin]

What does one usually receive with a GA pass?

 

[TTARider]

Wife can't do long standing or stairs...

What have the waits been like?

 

[Andy]

What does one usually receive with a GA pass?

You take the pass to the ride attendant at the entrance of the ride. If the wait is under 30 mins they usually let you enter through the express lane. If its over 30 mins they give you a return time which is similar to the current wait for that attraction.

When I went Thursday and last Friday there were wheelchairs in the regular line so I don't think they are doing anything yet. It is hours of standing for @TTARider
