I was wondering exactly when the following changes took place. I read about them in print the other day, but hadn't been sure until then that these were a "thing" --

(1) The live actors in Reign of Kong aren't there any more. Something tells me this happened a while ago, and I suppose the reason was the same as for pulling the 3D: cost-cutting.
(2) Also at Kong, the exterior portion is operating after what I had assumed was permanent abandonment some time ago. That obviously was a wrong assumption. When did the exterior portion come back?
(3) At the money exchange in Diagon Alley, the goblin banker is now non-interactive. I especially regretted hearing about this, as I used to speak with him about the quality of the bank's dental plan years ago and he didn't appreciate it. Does this really help Universal's bottom line all that much, to turn this off? Disappointing.
 
Oh I'm so happy to hear the exterior portion of Kong is going again! It was still not going our last visit which was late Jan. The live actors in the Kong line I believe went away around Covid closure time. I did not see them in late 2020 nor any time after that.
