King Kong Speculation Thread

[DufflesMcGee]

Well we have seen comcast willingness to spend. Once this idea comes to fruition, im sure they dont mind signing of 50 million more to get the AA's, abduction, 360 degree sets and more.

I think this will bring in a huge crowd.

Another question I have is what does this mean to the future of IOA. the park was supposed to be based off of literature, does this mean that they dont care about that idea anymore? Was Kong literature before it was a novel? Does this mean they would bring something like WOW to toon lagoon if they cant get LOTR?! :'(

Im sure whatever it is they will do, it will be awesome... they arent going to build DA then backtrack with a land that isnt at par or even better than the last.

Well he said it was below $200, but significantly higher than $100. That implies to me somewhere in the $130-$150 range.

And since when has the abduction been labeled as a never before scene crazy effect??? We're blowing that out of proportion based on the things WE'RE hyping.

People love to blow things out of proportion, I mean granted it doesn't help that I haven't given away some aspects of the ride but hey its sparking conversation and thats fun for me and hopefully all of you!!

More fun for you since you wont spill on everything you know, you are laughing behind the screens thinking "These idiots have no idea"... hahaha

That's not really a fair comparison though since Snow White is a part of the Disney Princesses brand, a franchise which makes billions every year...

And how is the Mine Train specifically bringing in Snow White fans to buy magic mirrors and red apples? Isn't that what many are questioning? The profitability of adding an attraction from an IP like this?

All I know is Universal/Comcast said recently we can expect them to pump hundreds of millions into the resort each year for years to come. And since we currently don't have Universal Vacation Club, I'm guessing a chunk of that is going into new attractions.

I've got my money on the plan being an abduction by a native on Skull Island.

It's the only situation that makes sense.

Wow. That really is Great Movie Ride. Even if it doesn't make it to the ride, I'm glad something like that is at least on the table.

Well I missed the memo....

HTF... Still a 2015 opening?
So from what I understand in 2015 we should be seeing
Lorax
Mine coaster
New Kong Land

In fact, there are other humans on Skull Island who like to abduct people to sacrifice to Kong...

"...there's the rider abduction..."

I've never seen a rider get abducted from a ride before, so I was assuming it was a never-before-seen effect

...unless that was just a typo and I'm looking too far into it. If the guides are getting abducted, ok, no big deal. But I took that to mean the monkey was going to pick up the ride vehicle or something like that.

 

[DufflesMcGee]

So the guy gets abducted from the RV, if he is supposed to be driving it, like in Jaws, then what happens to the RV after that? Do we just sit there? lol

Kong shows up during the sacrifice, and we lose control.

If I had to guess

As always, thanks for clarity! The Kong ride sounds like its going to be amazing!

Can you let us know if this is impacting phase 2 of Jurassic Park, and if so, how?

I doubt that will be the first place we will see kong. Im going to rewatch the movie soon, see what the dealio is.

I wonder if they will get Jack Black-esque tour guides.

I wish I could answer this but I cannot at the moment. To be totally honest there is just to much going on at the moment to keep on track, and the dates are all just out of whack! I'll try better to get some clarification to share.

Kong doesn't show up until someone is sacrificed in any movie. Just sayin'.

And this is why I must rewatch the movie... Im sure there will be some Kong cameos BEFORE that scene, if that is what it ends up being.
