coasterguy4 Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 So they are giving out glasses to every train despite whether or not it goes through the attraction? That doesn't make sense to me, so I'd assume if they are handing you glasses before you get on it should be a big hint that your going to see it. That's exactly what they are doing. One in three trams were going in so everyone has glasses regardless. They are still trying to get the flow worked out and it is still having difficulties. The guide didn't know we were going in until she got the okay right before we entered. People getting of the tram after us were given glasses and didn't end up going through. It's all luck until July 1st. The tram in front of us didn't go in, but we did.
fatdaddy Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 As i said before the sign in front say's "in technical rehearsal" and that it may close at any time. I saw the same thing Saturday with them having some trams go through and some trams pass. My tram actually went inside and then the driver wasn't sure if we would actually be able to go in because theres an exit before the actual attraction that was open. In any case, it's awesome, awesome enough to be a stand alone ride if it were longer. As much as i miss the old Kong, this is one hell of a replacement. Oh, and Jaws is up and running again too.
AnEscapeArtist Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 This is excellent to hear, thanks for the reports everyone! I LOVE Universal's attractions!

That doesn't make sense to me, so I'd assume if they are handing you glasses before you get on it should be a big hint that your going to see it. Since it is still in technical rehearsals, getting the glasses still isn't a guarantee you are going to get to experience Kong. It still can (and does) close at any time for more adjustments or technical difficulties. They won't hand out glasses if they know it is going to be closed for an extended period of time.
Mastersax68 Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I played this music in my spring concert at school. This ride looks awesome, which I've kinda come to expect from Universal Studios. They really think out and execute their rides well.
fatdaddy Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Screamscape has a report, with spoilers, so if you don't wanna know, then stop reading in the middle.
coaster-crazy Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Dang, and I was just at the park 3 weeks ago. Now there's two reasons to go back later this summer!
wrs28330 Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Theme Park Review attended the Media Event for the King Kong 360 3-D Attraction opening. A report will be posted in a new thread tomorrow afternoon.
triggernel Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 The only thing that kind of took away for me in Screamscape's video, was the sound of the what I assume are hydraulics hissing. Other than that, all I can say is wow!
fatdaddy Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 ^Pretty much the ride is so intense that you won't notice anything but kong once it starts, it really pulls you in.

Lenaapple1974 Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I guess we now know what Universal did with the skulls they took out of DD.
