This summer marks the "Summer of Survival". A video was posted on the 21st. I know I saw a post for this, but today kicks off the Summer of Survival.

"Summer of Survival" is way better the "Vacation like you mean it"! They could have used some more shots from Tram tour such as earthquake and jaws. They just mashed up Transformers and Kong Commercials :angry: :rolleyes: . Awww USH.

*sigh* I am sick and tired of them advertising King Kong 360 3D as if it's a separate ride...they might as well do that for Jaws and Earthquake. It's very misrepresented.

Also, for a Summer of Survival, why not go ahead and advertise Jurassic Park and the Mummy while you're at it? They fit the survival theme and for the summer you wanna remind people that we have a water ride.

On a positive note, I believe this commercial is the first time since Kong opened that they've shown ACTUAL "ride" footage in the commercial or anywhere! They usually just always showed clips from the movie that sorta matched the ride sequences but now they actually showed what guests experience.

I'm curious if they'll start doing the King Kong 360 3D Express Tram nonstop all summer.

What's with this "Summer of Survival" thing?? Is this signifying new additions to the park in the coming months, just as Florida's "Vacation like you mean it" represents the addition of Transformers, Springfield, and more?

I can't wait until Minion Mayhem opens so they have something new to advertise - at this point, everyone knows about Kong 360 3D. It's getting a bit annoying now.

Well, summer's home to numerous peak days. Haha. Unfortunately I can only go on weekends (until mid-June) so I'll be witnessing some crazy crowds.

The House of Horrors is very annoying on peak days. Everyone's squeezed into each other, and there are always a bunch of people yelling and shoving and trying to get past the scaredy-cats in the front.. not an enjoyable experience.

I was walking fast in house of horrors because my friends were running but i couldn't catch up because there was these two girls in front of me walking really slow and each time a monster came up they started screaming and got scared and that was really annoying so at the Chucky part I just squeezed in to them and started running, luckily my friends were waiting for me at the stair case after.

Most of the time it's because a party forces one of their members to try out HOH but they fail miserably.

Last time I went, this couple got fed up with the maze and used an emergency exit. The alarm went off for a few seconds, too.

They didn't really look scared, just.. annoyed. Haha. Maybe they expected something different..?

I've heard so many people ask cast members outside of House of Horrors if it's a ride of some sort.
