The 23 is the grand opening ceremony/red carpet.

Well the reviews from EP Night are in. I have to say.....I'm....quite underwhelmed.

Chris and John Green from FB weren't huge fans of it. One of my friends who went on it called me and said that it was "laughably bad". He said the whole ride felt like GTA 5 and that Kong was WAY better.

Well, sounds like Twisted Colossus is the winner this year for the best new ride.

^ That's what I'm hearing too, in which case that's hilarious. The last thing I expected was for this to blow up in Uni's face. Bummer though, as I really like the franchise. Oh well....

Seriously, I never expected it to be Antarctica bad. If it's as bad as what I've been hearing, I hope they will consider "fixing" it later. Looks like Potter drained the funds for it.

It's pretty crazy considering the amount of hype and promotion Uni is giving the attraction that you'd expect it to be amazing, especially how much the actors themselves care for the franchise and felt the attraction would be world-class. Until next time....

Disappointing to hear such mixed reviews. I've heard both good and bad, so I suppose it's a matter of opinion. I feel as though the reason many are so overwhelmed is because this was so overhyped.

The general reviews on Twitter are overwhelmingly positive from what i've been seeing. The only people who seem to be disappointed are the ones who watchdog the park aka "us".

Just saw a POV.... disappointed to say the least, but I'll reserve judgment until I ride it myself. It literally screams GTA the Ride. The graphics are laughable but the storyline seems decent...

There's an Instagram user posting short clips of the ride in entirety. Apparently the main attraction is only A MINUTE LONG (precook adds a couple mins, with the overall length being 4 however): https://instagram.com/itsmrphil/ I hope SP previews will be better. I'll reserve my judgement until then.

I think it'll look better with the 3D Glasses and the full effect, Kong looks pretty bad with the glasses off. I'm remaining optimistic.

...and now you know why Transformers takes place at night.

I'll wait for an YT POV but oof, at least the regular guests are liking it.

I'm still being optimistic here. Hopefully once a full POV comes, that could allievate the problem but as for now, not exactly sure.

I really hope the ride is good. I have been very excited for it to come and it would be a let down if it was bad. I'll ask I some friends that went to the event. Also I think there is another preview on Friday, but it is not for the theme park employees. We'll see how they like the ride.

Kong is only 90 seconds long, so I wouldn't doubt it.

After all, everybody, it is a tram animation. Not saying that doesn't degrade it but let's keep in perspective that despite Universal's marketing, it's not just a separate attraction.

I'll be cautiously awaiting a full POV but what I've seen so far is... not the best.

I think the people that thought this was going to be a full on ride where the ones who are giving it a negative review. I'm sure they expected a 4min plus attraction. Kong is short and it takes place in the day time but with more darker elements...but anyways I saw some footage and the CGI looks a bit strange, so I'm going to wait for a 1080p upload to watch it.

Alright, so after riding Supercharged twice last night, I have come to the conclusion that it's simply just okay. Once the ride part actually starts, it's a little fun, but it ends so abruptly. I remember after it ended, everyone looked at each other and thought, that's it? I expected more. In terms of the actual ride, I prefer King Kong. Now, in saying all of that, the build up to the ride is great. I appreciate the fact that there actually is something that leads up to the ride, unlike Kong. So Supercharged and Kong have something the other doesn't, therefore they're equal to me.

Highlight of the night: Singing "Have a tramtastic Day" with fellow team members.

Yeah, I'm hearing mostly lukewarm and negative reviews and first impressions, which is such a damn pity, I was really hoping that UC would blow us away. Apparently it's just too cheesy, rushed, and has bad acting. Kind of like the movies it's based on ;)

I'll reserve my final judgement until I experience it myself, going to try to be positive and create my own opinion.

I think a lot of us just had overly high expectations. I haven't been on it, but I know it's better than the spinning tunnel or Gasolina.

Hopefully it's in previews today when I go.
