Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[anihilnation]

You are so ignorance. It has an amazing backstory:
Once it was aiece of old Florida land, then it became a parkinglot when a magical film company opend a theme park there. People of all over the world came (except narrow minded Disney lovers). Then a other company came and redeveloped it into CityWalk, then another company came and did it better, the end.
I personaly think it beats the bs of the Disney Springs back story.

Skull island is an Island. It says so in the title, get over it.

You two could always find a middle ground and call it a peninsula.

Let's calm down a bit. No need to be confrontational.

I don't mean to prolong this "Island or not and Island" thing... but i'm going to. My personal opinion is a singular ride does not make a land. If Forbidden Journey or Gringotts existed just on it's own, no Hogsmeade or Diagon, I would not consider that a land.

On the other hand, Hogsmeade and Diagon could exist on their own, no rides at all, and i'd consider that a land. The theming alone is an attraction unto itself and an immersive experience.

 

[Talking Head]

"Is it a land? What if it only has one ride? Does it need a restaurant? How many restrooms does it take to make a theme park land??"

It's never pretty when theme park geeks get pedantic, but this is some EpcotExplorer-level crap.

Which may be best then that we get back to topic?

Does anyone know how the main AA Kong is positioned?
Do we only see his upper body like on the old ride or will be see him whole and will he be on all 4 or will it raise up? Does anyone know?

Pretty sure from shoulders up only, to give the impression that he's like 50 feet tall

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

King Kong is on SyFy right now.

Lol, remember those old rumors with a running Kong next to the tram AA.

Well if you look at what Creature Technologies does, they are experts in large walking animatronics.

They are puppets, not animatronics. They also are for shows and not something that has to reset and occur hundreds of times daily 365 days a year. What they do for plays and shows would never work for a ride.

Unless they had robotic puppeteers....

No, Those walking with Dinosaurs and How To Train Your Dragon characters are for the most part programmed automatic aninatronics. They have a track record of building durable large scale figures.

 

[darkridelover]

I'm not saying he's gonna walk around and chase you, but if they wanted him to, Creature Technologies is the company you would hire for that!

 

[Jwhee]

Does anyone know if there will be fire inside of the attraction?

 

[*Q*]

I feel like I want a tribal drumbeat to start every time I open this thread

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

One day for one of Universal's Attractions, I hope they have team members ride with normal guests and when your driver or guide of whatever ride vehicles disappears in the story line (Totally Awesome) The team member (who appears as a normal dressed guest, volunteers to finish the ride story off by guiding us. That'd be awesome haha. With everything, I'm interested in the ride vehicle and how it will be operated the most at this point.

What do you mean, the technology behind it moving around the road and curves?

Everything Teebin, Everything. It may seem odd, but the colors, shape, noises, movements, of the ride vehicle help make the ride IMO.
