Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

Wait, is the giant Kong head supposed to be the attraction entrance? I thought it would be inside the ride itself.

The stone head is the entrance. There will also be a furry kong in the ride attraction.

A "furry Kong". Hope that doesn't attract those fur crazies. :wink: They keep having their conventions here it Pittsburgh. They're quite embarrassing to the city when they're here.

 

[snayberry]

I find it amazing how the workers do such a good job at making the concept art come to real life.

What about Diddy, Cranky, Candy, and Funky Kong?

Wrong park. The moose out front should of told you..

Ah, makes sense. The whole entrance area will definately look epic once it's finished.

The coverings around the entrance have come down

gotta be honest I love that look with Kong in the rock work
incredible

Someone posted this earlier on Twitter. I think it looks even more outstanding from this view.

 

[captainmoch]

Oh man... I might head back to IOA in a few days just to see this myself. Unless it gets covered back up.

 

[Jon84]

Enjoying watching the progress, this will be done by my next visit!

Now THAT is what I'm talkin' about. :clap:

I look forward to a photograph of the kong entrance from in front of Thunder Falls. I am unsure how visible it is from there.

 

[Nico]

Did I miss the part where they started doing color work on the mountain backdrop?

 

[Cole]

Man that show building really sticks out from that angle. Looks better in that picture though. How big is it?

 

[Clive]

I think the show building looks fine, and I'm a huge detractor of the ultra-visible FJ building. It's properly textured and they made an effort for it to have some form of "terrain." Hell, if they continue to color it, I think it'll look even better.

 

[Teebin]

Can someone soon go up to the top of Camp Jurassic and take pictures looking down at not only the new kong entrance, but also to the left and far left? I believe a new wall may have been installed and should be around 10'-40' variably set back from the construction wall.

In the past few weeks I have learned quite a bit more about the details of the scope of this project. Much of it I will sit on and allow UC to surprise the hell out of you. Let me offer that it is as if they finished up Diagon and Gringotts and said, "Let's do that again!!!". The queue alone will be somewhat potter equivalent in scope.

Expect nods to everything from American Adventure, Terminator, Jungle Cruise, and even the original IOA Jurassic Park. The only frustrating problem for me is that I fear most guests won't even know what was an illusion and what was not.

I sure hope it plays and sells well!

 

[captainmoch]

Dang, this ride is more and more sounding like it may be one of the best ones ever.

I have a question about the entrance, though. If the stone Kong head is the entrance to the queue, does this make the large entryway behind it that we've already seen part of the queue too, part of the ride, or simply part of the wall that just looks like an entranceway?

What do you mean by "nods"? Like references/homages?

Any Kongfrontation nods..?

Similar modern executions.... some of you will see the similarities.

I haven't yet seen so much as a sneeze towards kongfrontation. None of the kitch.
