Skull Island: Reign of Kong from construction to opening

[Scuttle]

Gringotts or Forbidden Journey? Or, both?

Both! I didn't expect it to be this good. I had high expectations, but my my did they put everything into this one.

I'm not ashamed to admit this but scare mazes aren't my thing. What's their protocol for guests that want to ride but can't get through the queue? I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't enjoy getting startled lol.

This is when spoilers are your friend, I imagine. If you know when the scares happen, you can prepare yourself, endure them and then enjoy the rest of the ride.

I'm not a big fan of scare mazes and boo holes myself. That's why I haven't gone to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. I don't like gore and all that. I prefer Haunted-Mansion/Tower-of-Terror types of scary. They just seem more intelligent and artful than gucky makeup and "RAARRR!" kind of stuff. JMHO.

yea I don't mind the horror aesthetic of things I actually think that stuff is cool. But anyone can pop out and startle someone costume or no costume.

Don't watch if you don't want spoilers!!!!!!

Did they open the ride or just the queue?* Do we have videos of Kong?

*I already know the answer, which is why I want a video of Kong!

Ok, sorry to drop the ball on the updates. But I was really busy standing there all day. There was chatting, and a few beer, and more chatting to do.

Any who, it didn't open.

Rinse, repeat tomorrow.

The queue was blocked. Only the walls were down.

Tomorrow is the 26th anniversary of Universal Orlando and the Kongfrontation ride. I have major hope for tomorrow.

This queue looks so much like it tops both FJ and Gringotts.

Yeah the que looks awesome... the ride looks awesome... what the future should be for all rides going forward a well themed mini land for every attraction? Works in most cases except FL....

Transformers as awesome a ride it is the show building itself lacks... this is way way better.

They put everything they had into this. Can't wait to ride it again in a few hours.

I give Transformers a bit of a pass on that because the building is supposed to look like an uninteresting secret base but yes Kong totally tops it
