The scariest attraction ever built is opening next year though. Frozen ride with Maelstrom's capacity...

Next year? What are you talking about?

Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be open the first week of May. Unlikely, I know. But the last time I was in Universal in 1991, I rode Back to the Future 3 months before it opened. So maybe I'll get lucky again!

There is a very good chance soft opens, or as Universal calls them, Technical Rehearsals, will be going on by then.

I don't know which I'm surprised with more. That you went on BTTF 3 months early (lucky), or that the last time you were there was 1991

This attraction will once again redefine Universal Parks.

The scariest attraction ever built.

isnt it all screen based? If it's anything like the old kong scene from universals tram tour than I am not sure how scary it will be.

There is a lot more immersion involved and it will not be entirely screen based. Mix that with a dark and dank feeling queue and the entire package creates an environment that will have a foreboding "scary" feel to many.

No. And this attraction will be scary. Like, traumatizing, for anyone under 7 years old, scary.

In the press release for this attraction they mentioned in the queue you will encounter "hostile natives" of skull island. will they be using live scare actors for this?

I'll believe that when I see it. For now I am interested though

That's what the rumors say. The guys behind HHN are involved with the queue apparently.
