2nd batch of steel is on site and already going vertical. This thing will be twice as big in the next couple days!

As in building it out over more land or taller?

Twice as big, assuming taller. Batch? usually means to add to something or give a supply to something already there (even if in multiples). So assuming taller, could be wrong lol.

Taller? Did you say TALLER?!

Making room for that Kong animatronic hopefully.... :doggie:

IF they double its height it will be Close to JPRA height. Which I kinda remember someone mentioning. Which is also insane.

Yes, I do think Hate or Jungle said that.

Damn, it's crazy how fast they are making progress.

Twas not me. No idea how tall this will be.

Glad to see more steel going up. We have a long way to go, but this one will be worth the wait.

Wow that building is huge...hope it doesn't ruin sightlines.

 

[Teebin]

^ Not to worry, a few dozen or more washingtonia robusta and bambusa oldhamii will make it all disappear.

I'm stumped as to how you could actually improve the SCOOP. The thing has pitch, yaw, roll, 360 degree rotation... and it's probably only used at 20% of its potential. I'd love to hear people's thoughts.

A SCOOP that can negotiate slopes, of course!

I don't know if anyone posted this or not, but on an episode of "Disney Dish" Jim Hill referred to the name "Kong: Terror Of Skull Island" while talking about this rumored attraction.

No doubt the ride will be called "king kong (entire tagline here)". Just the way it always is

I honestly hope the announcement is coming soon after HHN ends. Maybe a dual announcement with Twister's replacement.

Why would they do a dual announcement when they can announce the Twister replacement first, then after it opens, announce Kong?

I'm thinking they may want to keep things buzzing at the resort after HHN and some Jimmy Fallon show probably won't do that. There is visible progress for Kong now, may as well let the people know what's coming though I expect it still probably will be a while.

There's so much buzz for Diagon that Universal can keep their powder dry and save it for later.

The next announcement, if I had to guess, will be Twister's replacement, NASCAR's replacement, and whatever they're doing for the 25th Anniversary of USF.

I don't epxect Kong or Wondersea until sometime next year.

if you remember, Diagon and transfromers was practically built before they announced it. We've got some time on Kong. Universal like to build first and announce later..Disney is the opposite.
