Can I add Brian's comment above to this? I don't think so but it is in keeping with my sentiment.

I know they didn't!!! I'm heading to bed yall:faint:Oh man, they know lol
Oh man, they know lol
Yeah they did. Were told to build it and did with a great big middle finger sticking up showing how bad they could execute. I will see it soon but expect nothing and from what I hear it will live up to my expectations. I will head over to MiB and clean my palate with a classic ride hoping to put 999999 on the board.I know they didn't!!! I'm heading to bed yall:faint:
I find it interesting that people say “oh Kong was suppossed to be here, but the Kong theme didnt fit” well dont you think that means Kong was never going to go there? Its not like UC did a bunch of R&D then woke up one day, realized Skull Island doesnt belong in San Fran, then moved it. They had plenty of time to get a better ride to have filled this area. It took 3 years pretty much which is crazy. 3 years for a copy and paste warehouse? Yea UC flubbed big, or should I say Corporate flubbed bigOk, they were told to build something to represent the 5 billion dollars this franchise has earned. It is less than stellar but is it serviceable? It replaced a ride that was failing (falling apart!) so they had to do something. First Kong was promoted for this space but jungle just didn't work here so it went to IOA, the powers that be (Not Orlando based!) said to build F&F so they put it here and this is what they built. Public gonna ride??? Yeah, look at the lines to come, will be 60 minutes plus all summer.
Maybe we hate it but how many of you rode Disaster/Earthquake when you popped in for a couple of hours? It will serve it's purpose and hopefully we can move on to better things. I look down the street and still don't see groundbreaking things. (Toy Story)
I still think they will build me cool things, this is not the end.
Great time to be a theme park fan. My first ride might be at the Social Media Event - Might be my last ride too. Same as Disaster/Earthquake.
I will give it a chance and not base my judgement on Utube (@Miketheboss )
One of my friends posted on his facebook page that he was WHELMED by the ride. I asked if he meant Over or Under and he replied "Just Whelmed".
Epcot has MORE screen attractions than both Universal Parks combined.Me too, three freaking years wasted for a freaking 3d/screen ride as typical as always. Since Nintendo is moving to the 4th theme park and the detailed description of the Pokemon-themed area or attraction, you could say USH and USF are already oversaturated with screen rides. It makes Disney parks look so good and admirable in comparison because at least they're still devoted to creating animatronics for its attractions. Universal really need to figure out what to do with USF since they turned every practical ride replacement into 3d/screen attractions. Totally overblown if you ask me.

We can go further, Epcot has 2 Circle Vision attractions in the same park, and 2 Boat Rides right next to each other and a third boat ride on the other side of the park.That's a bit of an unfair accusation: Epcot has 2 simulator attractions, and only Gran Fiesta Tour is objectively screen-based movement attraction. The rest are all standard films. Universal Studios Florida has 3 simulator attractions, several more that are flying between screens and what? One sitdown film attraction? It's hard to justify that argument.

The driver is a prop, and if it moves at all, it doesn’t do it during load or unload. It’s REALLY obvious, too, because none of the windows on the buses are tinted or fogged like they are in Kong.Questions for those who have ridden:
1) Is the driver just an inanimate prop? Is it super obvious?
2) The ride not being in 3D, does that reduce the effectiveness of the 360 tunnel?
Thanks.
Ok well if they were forced to build this then whatever, I would have been pissed too. Same for Fallon I'm guessing. Where's the bleeding edge technology though come on Thierry, that's was wrong to say I agree totally. SmhYeah they did.
