Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Not in the main POV posted by Inside The Magic. That video has a lot of hate.

Yep, and it was posted by Niles on his Theme Park Insider site also. And his Disney oriented fans blasted it with hate in comments. And they did the same a few days previously when he did a story on a scary queue with scare actors. They blasted the attraction with hate there to. Methinks there's a lot of envy and jealousy of Universal playing into these comments.

They can do all the blasting they want. Those 90 Minute waits will say different.

Careful with straw man arguments. There are legitimate issues with Kong that are raised and there are many who question the use of more projections who aren't Disney zealots.

Was just reading through some of those comments and I see where you're coming from. It may take long periods of time for Disney to build rides but "You want to know why Universal builds so fast? They appear to take shortcuts!" Disney fans really just can't say Universal has something good for once

I'm not a screens guy.
But at least I can enjoy the ride even though I prefer physical sets. I think everyone prefers physical sets.
It just irks me to see people complain about a ride they haven't ridden just because it uses screens.

No straw man arguments. Just reported the comments that are primarily based on the POV . If you read the comments, that's the general vibe you get from the vast majority of the posters. The best one, as I mentioned before, is that Universal should learn from Disney the right way to do screens.

Pro-Disney people will always have an issue with what Universal creates. Which essentially makes what Universal creates all the more enjoyable. I can not wait to ride this. And like others, I miss Kongfrontation (Basically riding a tram in mid air in a theme park is awesome. We probably will NEVER get that again).

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Anyone have a general idea of how much this attraction cost Universal to build?

Yep, bottom line, that's it. Instead of P _ _ _ s Envy, it's Universal Envy, since WDW hasn't gotten much new for like forever. As Walter Brennan said in his old TV series. "No brag, just fact." And to answer Test Track. Of course we all understand that some people have issues with all the screen based attractions. Hell, that's all we've been talking about here lately! The point is that Disney fans on these Disney oriented sites are looking at a crappy video, and using that video as their Exhibit A of all they hate about Universal, instead of actually waiting to experience the attraction. They are not judging it objectively, they're gang attacking the attraction.

$150m - $160m is the number I see the most

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Skull Island Team Membors have the absolute coolest Uniforms in all of Universal's attractions now. I Know not what the new Hulk Team Membor Uniforms will look like but I love the ones for Kong!

$150m - $160m is the number I see the most

If that is the case, that is not bad. especially for the anticipated capacity of this attraction.

The witch room: Every time I see a video of it, all that I can think is "Khaa-lee-mahl!" from Temple of Doom.

You guys have to remember that the people leaving the negative comments are usually the same people over and over again. :cough: Josh Thomas :cough:

There were people shouting this in the queue! I didn't remember where it was from. I just thought they were being obnoxious.

Yes! I love the costumes, however the placement and color of the zipper on the female pants is a little odd.

You mean the black zipper in the booty crack. LOL
