Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[epcyclopedia]

I know its a different world legally sometimes, but Kongfrontation this is exactly what happened, only 30 feet in the air. A long Lap Bar with children seated in the middle would be the only restraint that would make sense. That being said, I don't think there is one.

Sea belts would be a capacity nightmare with capacity and operations to get everyone buckled in within a row you can't walk down.

The motions and jolts as said are on platforms similar to Earthquake's original motions. Which if everyone remembers, had no restraints.

I'll agree it likely won't have restraints - but the number of people wouldn't pose a problem for seat belts. Simulators solved this long ago - they simply have an LED grid that matches the seat layout. They turn on the seatbelt system (usually an vacuum system) and then watch for all the lights to come on. If one doesn't you have that person redo their belt.

Great points to all of you. I guess we'll just wait and see, I'd prefer no lap bars, truck rides were always comfortable in that regard. Again the queue seems like it'll scare most kids away, not too worried about that

 

[Splatter]

Which is true, but for a bunch of people squeezing into a row where a Team Member can't walk in between nor reach them to assist unlike a simulator cabin's large rows.
And a Lapbar would suffice as a deterrent for not wanting people to stand above with half the time if they still wanted it.

But yeah. I would not expect restraints of any kind. This seems to be more bench style seeing like Jaws, Kongfrontation, and Earthquake and Killimanjaro Safari.

I think seat belts could be an option if they use a similar system to Star Tours but I don't think this ride will be wild enough to need them.

Won't lie, I searched hard.
Couldn't find a leak of that blueprint, sad face.

Orlando Parks News just posted a Kong photo update....Teebs: This one is perfect for you. There's lots of closeups of the trees & foliage.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the Kong blueprints.. Far too many spoilers for those unaware whats going to happen.

Someone on The UOAP Facebook page just posted shots of ROK merchandise now on sale in IOA. Lots of pretty sweet stuff there too, but won't copy it here as a courtesy to the original photographer.

Thanks for the heads up! Goodness, I love that Skull Island sign on the rock. If it weren't so big and bold it would blend right into the other rock-work.

Pretty soon we're gonna need a spoiler thread

Can we start this soon? I know a lot of people want to stay spoiler-free, which I perfectly understand, but I personally want to know everything about this ride ASAP.

Ok the furry Kongs are just no...everything else is so cool..perhaps later we will get some 8th Wonder Expedition stuff as the ride gets more popular

Spoiler threads start when soft openings start.

That's assuming most could even decipher them unless they are just show diagrams.

I thought that was one of the best photo spreads I've seen on Kong to date. Lots of real close ups showed me stuff I hadn't really noticed how effective they were before.

Yeah, I recall one of the theme park insiders on another site said he had seen the blueprints, and his take on the attraction was world's difference from what we've been hearing on this thread.

Exterior fire testing. Fire behind the big gates too.
