Boy this thread sure picked up steam.

To the vaults of secrecy. :thumbs:

Hmmmmm so you're saying I am close

Ok, I am going out on a limb here and stating what I believe to be true: There will be more than one elevation to this attraction's ride. However, nothing like Transformers.

If not, I am vexed. Severely so.

You sure? I don't see why that would be needed, but the construction at the moment seems as if it is going to be two floors tall.

Maybe kong will either drop or lift the ride vehiclear at some point. I'm curious how dynamic it could be depending on how big the ride vehicles are going to be. Are we talking great movie ride length trams or a jaws boat sized vehicle or spiderman sized vehicles? And will there be a spieler?

(1)They cannot dig that deep there or they will have a Disney utilidor problem. (2)Annotations are intended to convey a feeling, not the truth. (3)Lastly, staircases, a bunch of staircases. (4)If you cannot see the further why, then I cannot convince you.

I've unzipped my fly... I will be excited to see why I am wrong, if I am wrong.

Pretty sure it has been posted on this site before that you enter underground in the temple ruins or something along those lines before going up to board the ride vehicle.

I do recall being at UNI the day the walls first came down around Diagon (or London I guess)...my daughter had to quiz everyone as to why she couldn't go into the area to explore more...her inquisitiveness lead to some really good talks with different employees...I recall one saying 'if you think this is impressive, wait until you see the next one...they went on to talk about going under ground.
Now I agree that you typically can't go deep in most of FL, but things are often built up...I mean the Magic Kinkdom is really the second floor...

But anyway, I do not have any inside contacts or anything (though we do tend to talk to a lot of employees when we visit UNI) and even I keep hearing about this ride having some aspect that will appear to be sub level or something.

Frank... that was for Gringotts... thousands of feet underground in the vaults. No one goes anywhere underground on that ride. That was merely an employee talking canon and a preview of effects to come. Cover for an illusion.

Orlando Theme Parks news just posted new Kong construction photos.

Am I crazy or does it look like they're getting ready to put in part of the facade?

It does appear so! And it's right where it is supposed to be. Sturdy, huh!

That is making sense, the queue just looks very strange from what we have right now. The extended queue also has me wondering. It's all going to be elaborate, that's for sure. We also do have staircases to get to the load...

I'm literally picturing our own little Indiana Jones Adventure for this. God bless us everyone.

The structure is so wide now it's becoming visible behind Thunder Falls while you're in Jurassic Park.

More pictures from my last visit here.

Mind you, I am not talking about something sudden at all... more of a mini exit 74A. Beyond that, I am still left with the feeling, "what are you guys up to?" and "How are you going to hide that, and that, and that?".

So, it is fun not knowing and trying to guess...

The structure is massive, I was amazed at it when I went to the parks yesterday.

It's going to be fun to see, that's for sure.

I wonder how or if they'll try to hide that?
