Right. Currently in “indefinite testing”.View attachment 21330
I wrote a lengthy email to the guest services email provided but also made a short post on twitter tagging them and made a very short complaint via Facebook messenger to their official account. If this is to be believed, then it is still technically in “testing.” I’m not sure I buy that though and feel like they are saying this to get the complainers to back off.
I would suggest everyone in this thread email them or reach out to them as well, even is it’s just short. Like Alicia said, if enough complain, they may reverse course.
Even though my twitter has just under 100 followers, the tweet I tagged Unviersal in has gotten over 100 likes and 10k views so at least a good amount of people are seeing it. I think best we can hope for is we just keep complaining and maybe they change it. I think they’re banking on the heat dying down and just saying they’re “testing” for now until people stop asking sadly.

Except for The JAWS Ride... overwhelm them about that. They deserve to be punished.Voice your concerns, but please don't overwhelm their inbox with it. One or 2 emails are all that's needed.
Yeah for sure, I wasn’t saying I was gonna keep sending emails everyday or something. I was more saying the more people that can send an email/message/twitter post the better because the truth is that 1 email from 100 people makes a much larger impact than 100 emails from 1 person.Voice your concerns, but please don't overwhelm their inbox with it. One or 2 emails are all that's needed.
Well FJ wasn't initially designed for 3D, Kong was. Kong's 3D adds "depth" for the ride... now it feels flat.I personally liked FJ much more riding it without 3D. The glasses feel like they separate you from the moment. I probably would like Reign of Kong without.
Yes, I was seated on the left side and noticed no water effects, but I heard the people on the right side scream so I assume they got wet. My take is the left side of the Tram in this attraction gets no love. The right side gets the Bat animatronics, water effects, and the main attraction; the Kong animatronic. Also, am I crazy or do I remember shadows on the tran roof when Kate gets dragged away?! I swear years ago that was there but didnt notice it last time I rode.Okay so I rode this for the first time without the 3D and... I didn't hate it. I still feel like the actual Kong 360 section needs it because the 3D was actually good there. Also, there seemed to be some missing water effects too which really sold the dino chomps.
But man.. why were rooms 1 and 2 improvements without it? The 3D was so bad that it just looked like it was shoddy animation but it's actually pretty crisp?
There are supposed to be shadows on the roof, but I'm not sure they work very often. They've always been very hit or miss since opening.Yes, I was seated on the left side and noticed no water effects, but I heard the people on the right side scream so I assume they got wet.

Are jungle scents at start of 360 scene still on at least?Water effects weren't working when I was down there prior to the 3D removal in early 2024 as well (along with the motion base not syncing correctly at all in the 360 tunnel (Scene 5) for both my rides on different days. Our RV would swing left and right 1-2 seconds after the proper video cues.
Quick "status effects watch" for Skull Island: Reign of Kong:
Anything else I'm missing? I thought they'd at least start working on scene 1 by now.
- Scene 1 (RVs bypass Scene 1 entirely at all times): Down for 409 days and counting
- Scene 3: Shadow effects above RV Down
- Scenes 4 & 5 (Water Effects): Inconsistent / Down
- Scene 5 (360 Tunnel): Inconsistent motion platform syncing
- Scenes 3, 4, 5: 3D Removed as a "2-week test" since since February 25th (95 days and counting).
