Skull Island: Reign of Kong

[RocketCityMama]

22 Days til we are there! Come on soft openings!!!

It seems the walls around Kong are going down overnight tonight, doesn't necessarily mean it'll be "soft opening" but it's much much closer.

Can't wait to hear reports today on activity there!

 

[DisBuckMan]

We'll be there next weekend. Not expecting to be able to ride in a soft opening, but it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised.

Walls are still up.

My husband and I are getting excited. I tell him I am on the boards everyday to see if there are soft openings and someone has wrote about it. I am hoping we hear something soon getting anxious we will be there in the Fall and we cant wait to hear all about it.

Yeah, walls are still up. It's a few times I've gotten bad reports now. I suspect they won't come down until after the grad events are done at the earliest. The last of these is May 20th. (not the 19th, I was looking at the 2017 calendar by mistake)

I thought I read that they are on Friday nights? Is the last May 20th then?
HOPING for the walls to come down SOON!

Yep, DS is going on May 20th.

Since Hulk won't be open, I'm really hoping for Kong in mid June!!

 

[damo]

Walls still not down.


Sounds like there are still a few things they want to do.

 

[jerseygal]

Waiting!

Universal posted this a couple of hours ago on Twitter. Thought everyone would be interested.

This shows a brief clip of the big Kong animatronic, so be aware if you don't want to be spoiled: http://www.wesh.com/orlandomyway/or...e-skull-island-reign-of-kong-opening/39557760

--

The legendary beast that will appear in the new 3-D ride is three-stories tall, 18 feet wide at his shoulders and has a head larger than an automobile, according to Universal Orlando. The beast also has several "distinctive scars."

During the ride, guests will come "face-to-face" with King Kong and get "so close they'll feel his breath sweep across their skin and his thunderous roar reverberate through every bone in their body,"

Thank you for sharing this!

Since Hulk will still be down for us in mid-June, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Kong!!!
