I can't tell if I'm looking at queue or ride path. Help?
The way that some of you have talked about the development of this attraction makes it sound like everyone within Universal randomly collectively said, "Eh, let's just go f***ing crazy with this one."
I would think they will begin running the ride vehicles on the outside track very soon. Sometime in the next 4 weeks. Perhaps they will wrap them in plastic to cover the theming. Let's see if I am right!
OK you're on :wink:
Countdown Timer - Countdown to Feb 8, 2016 5:00 PM in Orlando
Kidding aside I am really looking forward to seeing Kong, out of all of the upcoming attractions Kong is the one that I'm looking forward to the most.
I'm hitting up an early May trip this year and I think HHN is a no no for me this year :cry::cry::cry: so I will miss out on Kong and a lot more, but will certainly make for an fun 2017 trip :clap:
Right here .... Countdown Timer to Any DateI know that countdown timer was a joke, but its really cool. How did you do it?
Could you see a kid who's afraid to sit on Santa's lap looking at the Kong entrance and just break out crying and screaming, total meltdown. Universal might have to pay to keep a child psychiatrist on Kong queue duty.
I was actually thinking about this the other day. I was scared of him as a kid too and the more I think about it so were all of my siblings lol. I remember just not wanting to be taken away from my mom to sit on a strangers lap. Other reason could be I've heard so much about this guy that I just got overwhelmed. It's the same reasons kids cry when meeting costumed characters at theme parks, just a big mess. Sorry for getting off topic, fears are just one of my favorite things to talk about and you all are just so much fun to talk to about itHonestly being scared of Santa means nothing. I have no clue what is up with that guy that scares kids. But he scared my daughter. She wouldn't sit on his lap until she was 3. She stood in front of him when she was 2. But she happily would go on Haunted Mansion and let bugs crawl on her lol At age 4 she sat on his lap, but still was hesitant and then age 5 she wants to tell him what she wants so will sit on his lap. Now my not even 1 year old? Freaked out. Even though most of my relatives that she met for the first time are big with beards and had ZERO issues with them.
I think meeting Santa works the same way meeting Mickey Mouse does: kids freak out because they're meeting this famous person. Parents talk up important childhood figures like Santa and Mickey so much so that when it's time to meet "the real Santa" or "the real Mickey" the kids get shy, anxious, and overwhelmed. They get starstruck, in their own way.
But staying on topic, I certainly don't think being starstruck will be the reason kids are crying on Kong. I know we'll be getting an AA ape for sure, but what's the word on any others? I'd love for another T-rex in the park.
The funny part is that my daughter gave Mickey a hug and still wouldn't sit on Santa's lap lol
My 11 month old had no clue who Santa was, just some strange guy to her. But it struck me as odd since she went to my relatives she didn't know with no issues. She actually goes to most strangers (to her) with no issues. But Santa, no way. Disney photographers are AMAZING though and managed to get some non-crying somewhat OK pictures with her on his lap. I was amazed that they caught her right at those perfect times.
Oh yeah... back to topic.
My daughter will be brave at the entrance, but HTF is right, most kids will chicken out at the entrance or in the line. I just have a head strong child that is way too stubborn when she convinces herself she can do something.
