Without getting too far off topic
My biggest question with Kong in USF was if they were going to make it like we were "on set" and it would be placed in a faux Skull Island
Or if the 360 portion would've been based in NY

I guess this ride will be sticking around for at least 5 more years.

Rode it yesterday as our first ride here. It’s fine, but we really did go for the “You made it! You’re here!” line. 
They weren’t using the colored tickets at all.

I feel like the only person that was charmed by the ride experience. We laughed and just enjoyed the light hearted feel of it.
We love the attraction. and the preshow is one of the best around, when they have the live entertainment.

It’s generally a well received ride by the public.
I liked it way more than I expected.
It’s kind of sad to say but Fallon is by far the worst thing about it.

I'd feel much more charitable towards it if Minion Mayhem and Simpsons weren't in the same park, and if it didn't replace a unique experience.
It's fine. Nowhere near the same sort of affront that Supercharged is.

Their preshow and queue are the best in the park, imo. The museum is very neat.
Yup. Your mileage may vary depending on how you feel about Fallon.
As far as his contract, his saccharine personality might see some ratings flourishment as I think everyone is starting to get over the politics - which the other Late Night shows leaned into in 2016.

All he has to do is take Kevin Hart on VelociCoaster after how he freaked out on HRRR.
edit: you know what, I bet that he’ll take some of the cast from Jurassic World 3 on it when they start doing media tours.
Perfect synergy and easy clicks.

I love this ride actually, which is weird to type. I’ve always enjoyed Fallon from SNL and his SNL hosting stints, plus his games he plays with celebs. Not a brilliant ride, but the queue is one of the absolute best to the point the ride feels like a bonus for me. Granted, I did this in previews when everything was working fully, so without that I’m sure I’d not be as interested.
It's one of the few gentle simulators I've been on...it feels very fluid and the wind blowing on you the whole time is great
The ride has always felt well executed to me given the space and material

Totally agree, I tell everyone it’s the “have a beer before, look at the mini museum, play some games, enjoy the live entertainment, the ride is fun, you won’t be displeased if you go about it this way. Haven’t heard a bad review since.

Yikes, whyyyyy? His ratings are garbage, and he couldn't be less funny or lacking charm.
Yeah, i'm slightly surprised too, but I also think maybe they're betting that his ratings will rebound with a new administration in place, as maybe they're hoping late-night won't be so politically charged. Fallon not playing the politics angle/not being good at it is a big part of what led to his ratings decrease.
Consequently, that also makes him better-positioned to be the front man of a theme park attraction.
Ideally, you don't want politically-slanted personalities headlining rides and turning off potential guests.
