[Drew]

So excited for Kong's return I just had to:

Skull Island background music confirmed.

I didn't know they were already erecting foreground steelwork. I cannot quite place the location of this, but I believe it is for a big turn in the rides track. Otherwise it may be part of the entrance arch.

UPDATE: It has to be the entrance arch. Appears that all of this will disappear behind a real wall soon. :smiley:

I believe that's the entrance.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Good stuff, but it would still be cool to have someone walk it and count for me... just to verify that it is accurate.

I paced it out as 38 feet.

Thank you much Seth! How many people stared at you?

Entrance Arch all the way Teebs, I posted a pic on Twitter with the concept art and it just fits.

Seth beet me to it.

I got about 36 1/2 feet.


But in all seriousness enjoyed listening to people try and guess what the attraction is.

It's huge and it has peoples attention. UNIVERSAL IS DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

But a ton of people dont even care they love the way it looks. It makes a first impression and a lasting one.
This one is going to be good you guys.
People love Uni already .

Yeah, so many colorful guesses from people at the parks today:

"Look! They're building a Thundercats ride! There's skulls on it, so it makes it the bad guy's castle!"

*SNOBBY CHILD* "NO DAD!!! They're building a Chamber of Secrets ride!!!"

"I wonder what that Jurassic World ride will be about?"

"It's definitely an Indiana Jones ride, it has to be, why else would they be building a temple"

Maybe Seth has smaller feet than you! :stunned: Thank you as well. They are all good close numbers that add up to an average so that I can understand basically what I need to know. No more are required! Thanks guys!

Went today, the facade looks awesome without scaffolding. Maybe by the time I go back in a month or so the entrance will be formed a little bit.

 

[LieutLaww]

I look forward to seeing how far along they are when I go in Sept, will make sure to take plenty of pics too

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Few photos from yesterday with my Windows Phone. Apologizing ahead of time for quality.

 

[LieutLaww]

No problems with the quality here

 

[JungleSkip]

Looks good to me!

 

[OrlandoGuy]

Unreal. I don't think any new ride has ever gotten me more excited.

I also had to weave a little to avoid a stampeding herd of Grandventure kids ;-)

Nice pics ! Really shows of the level of detail they are going for the whole project.
