Neither can I

When I went past it last Sept it was looking good but it really is shaping up to be something quite awesome.

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

I hope there are seats in the middle I can hide under. Giant rollers coasters? No Problem. Someone jumping out of the bushes? I'm screaming and covering my eyes

Finally watched the Peter Jackson version because of this thread.

Not enough queue space! They are going to be backed up through Hogsmeade into Suesstown for the first few months!

I'm curious about the animatronics situation for this ride. Just from watching the Kong 360 3D attraction on YouTube, Kong, dinosaurs and giant insects are what is included in the rides film. Is it safe to say that's what this ride will offer but with animatronics? Also you have to take into account Jurassic park neighbors skull island now in the islands of adventure so if you include dinosaurs in the Kong ride maybe it would confuse casual park goers? Maybe I'm just splitting hairs on that.

No Dinosaurs. Just bugs, bats, and Kong.

I believe T Rexs will be included in the filmed portion of the ride, but no Dino AAs.

Yeah that's what I meant, thanks.

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?

Will the "hostile natives" be scanning the Express Passes?

Missed opportunity. Big one. We need two giant AAs "fighting."

Kong and Godzilla perhaps??

Awesome! And how much of this ride will involve projection screens? Is this going to be similar to the Harry Potter ride with a good mix of both projections and animatronics?

I wouldn't be the one to ask. I get all my info by reading what insiders have said.

From what I have heard it will be a great mix of screens, projections and set pieces. Can't wait!
