Skull Island: Reign of Kong from construction to opening

[Mike S]

So they'll have actors in the queue? I wonder if that won't become a staffing issue, long term. Especially if the roles can only be done by actors with a specific look.

The "Witch Doctor" looks like there's a huge switchback in front of him. I guess he's the new Botanicus?

The "Witch Doctor" is a woman and I guess she is the new Botanicus.

If the queue scares you the ride should give you apoplexy. Probably should sit this one out if you won't do the queue.

The large AA's give me no problem, only the actors in the queue jumping out, I am not a fan of those kinds of scares.

Here is a spoiler filled article from USAToday.

There are gonna be a lot of traumatized little princesses and angry Disney Moms.

Well then the Disney moms need to take their little princesses and go BACk to Disney.

Is there any chance there would a less intense, alternate queue for chickens like me who just want to ride the ride? I know not experiencing the whole queue would take away from the whole experience, but I am not one for those kinds of scares.

I hope not.

Nope, just walk on. Softs just mean the ride is open but could close down any time obviously. So just walk around the area and if it's running just get in line.

Thanks. If by some miracle I manage to get on I'll post some pics and thoughts.

Maybe Express or Single Riders will skip the scary stuff. Otherwise, I don't see how else you can basically skip the line with everyone else having to wait for it.

I'm sure Universal will do it right, but having gone to a number of scare mazes (whatever you want to call them), I've experienced first hand some pretty crazy reactions, bordering psychopathic. Mike West said the attraction was "for all ages" so I doubt they'll be terribly scary, but I think it'd be a good idea to have tough guy for the first actor, if you know what I mean.

BTW, queue looks amazing!

 

[BrenRays]

Are the walls down yet?

Are the walls down yet?

I don't think so because we are going in some back entrance.

The queu is very dark, with sensory overload and boo holes. It's not for all ages.

Walls are not down. Im in the park. I could see the ride going earlier though

Thy were also testing Hulk. Absolutely sound proof
