Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Teebin]

I kind of figured the same. I figure the fire will sprout up as we approach the gates

As I said, I may have misinterpreted the statement months ago. I never sought to clarify it. I would but they are all so rudely busy right now. I'm in a black hole.

(I'm sure your all going to weep for me)

These trucks better come with some decent 'engine effect' sounds

Seeing a beastly jeep drive around this loop silently would look silly.

I cant wait to see the chassis these rigs are built on, so much exposure of tech with this outside loop.

Heard inklings that there's a fair amount of gore in this ride. Should be pretty awesome

I'm not sure what significance this has but I search this ride on instagram every now and then for construction updates, and recently I've been finding a few posts of people announcing they've been hired as an "opening team member" for Kong. Maybe this could help determine a more reliable opening time frame?

Like you can never have too much fire, you also can never have too much gore. Really looking forward to Kong.

Fire scenery effects are great, but damn what a waste.

I always wondered what it costs a month to keep that one explosion in the Jaws ride going.

According to amityboattours.com: "During normal operation, each time the flame effects go off it costs an estimated $590.00. This means that within one hour the gas prices of Amity would be $7,080.00."


In one of the over the wall POV's that someone linked, I noticed this red light in the corner. Anyone know what it's for?

Thanks!

Cool, you should post the vector file as an eps. That way people can reproduce it at any size they want. Universal will have a cow if you do.

What if I was to say put it on a t shirt for personal use?

I think that goes off when you reach the top of the Aggro Crag.

Temporary beacon that is battery powered to alert workers of heavy equipment operating beyond that point. They had a manlift working on Kong's entrance head when that was taken.

Teebin had asked a while back about the curvature of the road. i stumbled back upon this picture which i think gives an idea of how uneven it is.

Yep, that is certainly a DIP or... is it a BUMP? Thanks for finding!

There's a second round of opening TMs being hired. Not sure if it's because people dropped off, or if they need more people, or if they just planned to do it in phases.

Phases and hierarchy, yes. Apparently it is the way things have been done for years.

Looking at all the aerial pictures showing the near complete exterior of the facade.

It seems kind of silly they couldn't justify the extra cash to extend the left wall a bit more, at the very least to help being a bit more symmetry to the gate.

They easily could of maintained a door or opening for vehicle access due to the height of the wall.

Especially with the dense vegetation, it would of looked awesome.

My guess is that they need that road for access of large heavy equipment at times (cranes etc.) that couldn't fit through a low ceiling gate.

 

[WAJAS]

My guess is that they need that road for access.

I think his point was that they could leave the bottom open to keep access or install a door there.

Something like this at The Little Mermaid at MK.

Exactly.

Because of the Hogwarts Express that gate is the only way to get the really large equipment into or out of IOA. I don't think it looks bad or like it ends abruptly or anything from inside the park.

I think it could look better with the wall extension. That is especially from the log flume. They could make the whole wall a large swinging door if the big equipment has no other way into the park.
