King Kong Speculation Thread

[Mad Dog]

Wow, that would be such a wicked neato cool thing if they could do that... :look:

That sounds like a confirmation clue.

So apparently a Comcast exec more or less confirmed this during the earnings call today.

@RichOBJ: .@Comcast's exec just CONFIRMED KING KONG at @UniversalORL ORLANDO!

@RichOBJ: What exec said (shorten): "... as we continue to invest in attractions, inc. Potter and FastFurious in HWood King Kong attraction in Orlando

I am not clear as to why it is important that a Comcast exec spoke of it. HTF told us what it was a year ago.

Because it's the first official word from the company on the matter. We all knew what it was, but they've finally admitted it.

Plus, it's another example of a bizarre trend of understated attraction announcements from UOR

Epcyclopedia wasn't convinced before he was banned.

There has been a few, including Epcyclopedia, but it was more in 2013 into 2014 compared to now where we had a lot of doubters.

Lol you said exactly what I was thinking.

It honestly felt like they had no idea it hadn't already been announced, TBH.

We've had a lot of people on twitter tell us there's no way it could be Kong.

wow, they re idiots then....maybe im spoiled here with the great info this site gives

I think it was only a matter of short time before something was said, whether officially or unofficially, by someone in Universal. The stone work going up on the façade of the building (that is not completely impossible to see from guest pathways) leaves little doubt for what the attraction is at this point... you know, for those who still wanted to argue it being Kong.

Pictures from today. Lots going on with a lot of workers. Plus there were a dozen or more workers painting the rocks over at Jurassic Park River Adventure, which is down for refurb.

They've been adding a flat rocky backdrop to block the show building. This looks to be what will be seen behind Thunder Falls from Jurassic Park.

There's a new green construction wall down the walkway near Camp Jurassic. I think it's related to the JP area refurbs. There was a lot of scenery painting going on in the area.

More pictures posted on my blog as usual.

Thanks Alicia!

Fun to see the large example sample now on site. Mercy that is big and heavy. Love the color treatment.

I'll say it once and ill say it again, in hatetofly we trust!!! I'd expect an actual announcement soon since they just kinda blew it lol

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Regardless if it opens this year or next year, it has to be grouped in with the 25th anniversary announcement, right?
