Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Mike S]

Just a fun little fyi.

There is still a really cool effect this attraction has that hasn't been used yet... Ever...

Hopefully it'll be running by the grand opening but we'll see.

UOR is getting bigger. But it is just details about something we have known about for a long time.

Let me guess,
@DTale: the transition to the AA?
@Disneyhead: Nintendo?

The five star boutique hotel and moderate hotel on Wet & Wild property & Nintendo expansion.?

 

[sonoma15]

Sorry to get off topic but I feel like Nintendo won't be included until the third park.

ok back on topic

Kong is a great ride, I think I would personally give it a 8/10 .

The overhead projection?

 

[Mike S]

The overhead projection?

That would be beyond awesome :clap:

 

[Viator]

The overhead projection?

That makes sense. It would be mind-blowing in a sense, and would be a first for Universal but hey; I guess we'll see. One does wonder how that could be pulled off though..

 

[UNIrd]

It's surprising that THIS type of ride would have as many kinks as it does. The tech might be new to IOA but, if you've been around the theme park block, it's all pretty familiar.

 

[Viator]

This announcement won't go that far.....south.

Even as is I wouldn't be surprised that it relates to WNW, a part of me thinks that Comcast is wanting to make big announcements about their US resorts within the coming months (USH and UOR); so I guess we'll see.

It would be just shadows I believe. Not a really big deal, but very unnerving to everyone. I overthought it and wondered about false shadows and dents in the fabric as giant insects climb overhead. Shadow is the greatest effect in horror.

 

[Viator]

It seems that they have quietly fully opened Kong, which...makes some sense.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, this is why I hate the VB logo.

I recall you talking about something similar to this about a year or so ago.

Why is that, "little buddy"?

So it's...open now? No more softs?

 

[Teebin]

Yes, Volcano Bay and Skull Island are both fully open.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes, Volcano Bay and Skull Island are both fully open.

I was about to say the same thing.

 

[Teebin]

Goodness, twitter is tiresome today. Perhaps I am following the wrong persons or groups...

These are from the US Travel trade show, effectively reeling in all those in the travel industry, tourism and marketing of such. These are displays meant to draw attention to Universal and give those in the industry what to expect for ads and such in the future. Kong is not fully open yet.

Well then, I forgot about the IPW so I guess I can be an idiot in the sense for today.. :bonk:

 

[shiekra38]

I imagine the slides would be rather painfull at the moment

As for Kong, Where was this photo taken with it saying 'now open'
