BTW, my big oops and I apologize. I have nothing else to correct except that, those are real gas flames just inside the building. I received a very busy and forgetful tossed-off answer the other day. So, everyone can now jump on me and sucker punch me and everything.
Yeah, those "construction guys". I wonder who they were... :look:

I do not know a lot about trees/plants, but I've always enjoyed theme park landscaping.
On our last visit, I really enjoyed looking at all the bamboo around Cabana Bay.
For all the stuff about being around a scared kid on Kong, I dunno, even with the walls up, the facade and the Kong sculpture look pretty menacing/intimidating. I really think the whole look of the attraction gives off a vibe that this experience is going to be scary.
I love real fire effects on attractions. I've always thought they were among the most climatic effects possible. Great to see Fire Rain in the Reign of Kong.

What store is that kong merch at? I really like those lanyards. Anyways, I found this update on youtube. You can hear audio testing in it from 00:36 to 1:10.
The music played there is from the Jurassic Park area loop. You can here it in the Lost World soundtrack at 3:07:

I didn't see this posted yet so here is a great video I found. It has real fire outside. Lots of skulls of the wrapped and unwrapped kind. Like little presents you can't wait to open. I think you'll see what I mean.
And the first footage I have seen of the inner sliding doors. Good stuff.
Thank you, Alicia Stella for sharing your video.

Goodness, Alicia's everything is so well done! That video had me forget all that is around me. That giant ferny like plant just over the fence is a fishtail palm. Possibly a young version of the species, Caryota gigas. There are at least two of them, older ones, in the port of entry.
While I am not sure what it is, I would assume it has something to do with wireless. I cannot imagine that painting them with a bit of dark gray latex paint would disable the broadcast and receiving.

Attraction prints are awesome to read for those with a technical background/pursuing this type of career
One of my favorites is the prints you can find for Indiana Jones

Just checked out the merch. I'm going to go broke.
Am I the only one that is disappointed in the merch? I mean, it's almost as bad as HHN merch usually is.
Nothing with the Eight Wonder Expedition Co logo at all? What a missed opportunity

I think it's just the merch they also sell at Hollywood that could easily be rebranded to IOA or doesnt mention park specific branding at all. IOA specific merch should come later.
Bingo, especially with EWEC. Its a extereme crime that they haven't released merch on that, as its begging for it.
I guess we'll find out by the end of the weekend, so we'll see what USH's kong merch is by yours truly.

Hopefully it's coming.
And realistically, of all the things to be disappointed about, the merch is the best possible thing. Better than having a bad attraction with good merch
Harry Potter, Despicable Me, The Simpsons and Transformers are all merchandise monsters. Although to be fair, the IPs sell themselves merchandise wise.
