Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[Vyrus]

Either way...people who tightened up and got scurred, or people who decided something was "too scary" toned it down.

Either way people need to put their big boy pants on.

It's not till you see it in person that you get the sense of scale. It's been just over a month since I last went, amazing how much has been done since

From yesterday

Great shot, I never realized how closely the wall resembles the building.

It's interesting that a culture that could only assemble a primitive bunch of stone into a temple could in the end, hone massive blocks at the top with the narrowest of seams. :saywhat:

Teebs: If you ever get the chance, travel to the Chitzen Itza Mayan ruins complex in the Yucatan area of Mexico. Absolutely amazing, & the Kong attraction has a remarkable resemblance to those temples.

Too funny, I was thinking of the insanely tight fitting blocks at machu picchu when I wrote that. Great old minds think alike.

The Kong entrance model is out on the construction site this morning... sitting on plywood inside of the steel near the front:

I was in IOA on Saturday and notice a small squared piece of picture or painting stuck to the mountains backdrop wall of the building. It looked like trees, vine, jungle look. Does anyone know what are they planing to do with that billboard?

It'll be a Jungle/Mountain mural of some sort

I know they will do a great job, I am just concerned about fading with the sun, like New York and Shrek 4D at the studios.

Here's a close up video of the model for the entrance from Orlando Attractions.



And some pics.

Very nice find

Looks so sick, want to see it up close in person so badly

 

[DragonSlayer]

It's cool, but I really feel like there must have been a less monochrome way of doing this whole thing.

I like how it dosen't match the JP/Hogwarts rockwork...makes it look original IMO

 

[Cheezbat]

Disney's not the only one who does rock work well in their parks!

I always loved the rock work in Jurassic Park. The rock work on Hogwarts is also epic. Now, Kong is looking to hit it out of the park.

I think it'll feel less that way when we get a splash of color onto the site in the form of trees and bushes and, if the concept art holds true, fire by the entrance.
