Skull Island: Reign of Kong from construction to opening

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

Today is such a tease! Have fun!

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

Not to mention how quickly it was built and what limited footprint they have.

It sounded like workers will be getting a couple more days.

Well I did a lot of praying and dreaming today. Didn't get on. But at least I got to see it.

Another clips of the queue! Looks like an awesome queue so far!

That AA at 3:20

I'd be surprised if it soft opened anytime in the next couple of days. There have been some major load/unload issues. The crew definitely needs some more polishing before general public gets in. I could easily be wrong though.

Gringotts or Forbidden Journey? Or, both?

Better than Gringotts, not even close to FJ IMO.

Meh, it's no Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

 

[Scuttle]

See that I mean? Lol

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

agreed. There are some major issues they are working out. No team members got on today.

The projection faces have nothing on this BEAST! He's the real deal.

Respectfully disagree.

Ok... I might be biased as I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan. Having said that I absolutely love what UC has done with it. But there is something so different about this attraction. It's in house and UC knew this was their first big "E" since Potter and that is what lead this to be the blowout attraction as it is. This had to be a showing for the U.S. Audience. We all have wondered what Universal will do for the next big draw after Potter. Well they freakin delivered!

 

[RobUK]

Omg those pictures... Just wow...

 

[makesmewonder]

Any idea if the express pass will be available for the ride ?

 

[Mike S]

Must, resist, watching, video

Must, resist, watching, video

It doesn't really show anything you haven't see before so you are safe

Wow, that "Kongfrontation" made me so nostalgic for the old UO ride!

If only they fixed the delivery of "Hey...who looked him in the eye?". You can't sound more disinterested than that!
