Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

This poor attraction... even I am at the end of my rope here. What is it that they can't figure out???

It has a mild case of Gringottitis. Tell West to give it two aspirins, shut it down & let it get some rest for 48 hours.

Christopher Walken is the best. Loved hearing him sing as Louie

I was the happiest when he started singing.

Not sure I know how to do spoiler tags and I don't see an option to highlight and tag them either. Lets see if this works

The guide sensors are put in the path over the ones they drilled with gaffers tape! Maybe what the drilled in didn't work so they have foil strips out there?

Once I got away from the witch (great AA but 45 minutes and they can't turn the sound down?) I rode and everything except the transition screen from the 360 to AA scene was working. I would rate it a good ride even after all the waiting. I sent a family that was doing it first time ahead and caught up with them after the ride. We had waited 3.5 hours total and they were extremely patient so when I asked if it was worth the wait I got a "yeah it was OK" back but felt bad that will be their only experience with it. They understood rehearsals but to not be able to kill the sound when we were stuck with the witch really needs to be addressed.

No musion in the skulls and no scareactors in the queue

Sat on the right in row 10 and it was good, the bat effect is best there but I saw too much of the screens. I would rather sit in the middle so I can see both sides in the 360

I knew what I was getting into so it was OK, another dozen rides and I will feel I have seen it all

Gee, I guess I do!

I never post on here. But today, I was in front of Kong and this happened. I was the only person excited to see them.

I would've told them, we don't want screens anymore, and see what they say.

Carp, I am such a poor fan I would never recognize them.

 

[Teebin]

I would have recognized Mark, but that other guy, I would have handed him my food tray.

Universal sure accomplished a lot with a fairly small plot of land. Yes, it will be a few years until I get this excited about an attraction again. After Diagon Alley & Kong, the stuff in the next couple of years is going to be real pedestrian. From home runs to infield singles (Fallon) and bloop doubles down the line (F&F)....Nintendo land looks further away all the time.

An exciting announcement is near. We will have plenty to #?????Watch.

I thought the media event for Kong was cancelled? Anyway, I think someone else already mentioned that announcements were coming soon/this year.

Nice to have another source confirm it though

Will there be softs today? What's the usual time they occur? Have someone who really wants to ride and is visiting today

Never a guarantee they will soft open, but if they do it is in the late afternoon.

They are adding another screen scene?

 

[Universal-Johnny]

They were quickly walking out with an entourage of big wigs. I only said hello and that I was looking forward to ridding Kong.

I've only had one comment that's been on my mind to share with them. I've always wondered why Universal Orlando doesn't have Geo-Tag filters on Snapchat. It's a question probably more directed towards their social media department, so I didn't bother.
I didn't ask them anything. I just said hello and let them be on their way.

Second time getting to the front of the line and the ride breaking down as we're next. From the announcements it sounds like they're doing an evac for the peeps currently in the show building.

I find an evac on this attraction is very odd. I cannot figure out why it would be necessary unless one of the motion tables became stuck.

The announcement was along the lines of "We apologize but your tour of Skull Island cannot continue as planned. Stay seated and wait for a team member for further instructions."
