Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

[IzzyB]

Has there ever been another ride that started softs and after over a week of softs is still only opening late afternoon? I just seem to remember everything else doing this for no more than a week and then opening at park opening with extended closing throughout the day. Seems odd that they are stuck at this 4 PM opening for so long. I would have expected it to be at least noon by now.

Hey guys, first time posting but been lurking for a while. Wanted to let you know it's open now, 120 minute wait. I am currently in the extended queue.

On my way over there, are you guaranteed to ride if in line?

We are not. And we have already been told of delays, but the line has still moved a bit.

 

[IzzyB]

No. It could break down while in line and the break down is serious enough they will evac the line.

This is true for even rides not in softs. This happened with Spiderman the other day. Actually the two days I was at Uni were not good days for them technically. HE was down several times both days. FJ broke down while in line, luckily after about 20 minutes it came back up. Poseidon Fury was down when we went past it (luckily we had already decided not to go on it). And Spiderman broke down and never came back up when we were in line. We were in that area for another 45 minutes and it never came back on line. Oh and MIB was down when we went to ride it, so we had to come back to it. It was the trip of extended break downs it seemed.

^ Wild, why would HE break down?

^ Wild, why would HE break down?

Don't know, but I saw it once while walking by and it was down on the app several times both days. I thought it was odd and my thought was I am glad my friend paid for 2 day 1 park each day instead of the 2 park 2 day pass just to get HE. Because when we would have been on HE it would have been down. So we would have had to come back and do it. Totally isn't worth the extra money for just that one ride. Even with girls who are into HP.

in line for Softs with no trucks yet. still having short delay announcements

^ Wild, why would HE break down?

It uses a system that isn't fail proof so it can easily break down from time to time.

But really it could be any number of reasons.

slowly moving forward, to the outdoor portion of regular queue

I was wondering about the announcements since we are are moving slowly if it was working or not

 

[PhoenixIsLost]

I can also report no trucks yet. I am closer to the indoor portion of the queue now.

 

[JoeCamel]

went from short delay to extended delay.

still no trucks cycling

 

[PhoenixIsLost]

Just watched the first truck head out! They are cycling!

 

[JoeCamel]

I think they have been opening more switchbacks

 

[jsburas123]

Saw it too! I am so anxious! I hope it starts running soon!

 

[Teebin]

I think they have been opening more switchbacks

They haven't been using all of the switchbacks in the past softs?

 

[epcyclopedia]

Others also get out of line - so you will move forward slowly.

 

[JoeCamel]

so far I have done this three times and have seen three different queue configurations

Yeah, there are ancillary rooms I felt I never saw used on the videos.

 

[JoeCamel]
