USH Tram Tour King Kong News

[The Forbidden Eye]

I heard that they are in the process of making a new King Kong Encounter which will be based on the 2005 version of King Kong.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it's still set to open in Summer of next year or in 2011.

They are building it right now. It is near the collapsing bridge. I don't know when it's going to be open. It was about a month ago that I saw it and it is in the very early stages of construction. I would say 2011 though.

Spring 2010 - Collapsing Bridge is currently closed due to the proximity of construction.

Do we know if this new King Kong is going to be a Huge Animatronic? or a Digital CG kind of King Kong. Also do we know if they are going to build a T-Rex?. I heard they were building the King Kong based on the Fight scene from the Movie between T-Rex and King Kong?

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

with such a short construction schedule it almost sounds like it will all be 3d movie based attraction.

It's going to have an animatronic since it's been confirmed that Garner Holt would build a King Kong AA

There will be no animatronics in it. It'll be entirely projections.

Forbidden Eye, meet stitchon.


Based on what Screamscape has posted, it's supposed to be 3-d projections, so I guess I'm siding with stitchon on this one. The question of how, exactly, they will be distributing/collecting the glasses is still up in the air.

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

Agreed with the others that said there is going to be no AA. I know they are advertising it as an immersive 4-D attraction with 3D glasses.

That and I can't find anything that even mentions the use of an AA anywhere.

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

Well, how about we wait until it gets closer to spring or summer next year because i'm not trusting anyone with information unless it comes from USH itself. Even if it's from screamscape becasue I know how information is twisted on sites like screamscape and our own.

The press release-

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

So are they just going to hand out 3D glasses when you get on the tram?

[disneysnout]

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

It sounds like they are going to hand them out or they may have them on the tram itself? so are we getting Transformers and King Kong in the same Year?

Kong - 2010
Transformers - 2011

Re: USH Tram Tour King Kong News

Heh, no one seems to know just HOW they are going to pass out the glasses. I'm guessing that they might have guests hold them for the tour until they reach King Kong, and after so many pairs get lost or thrown over the side of the tram they'll realize what a stupid move it was NOT to just do a new animatronic version.

Kendra and I are going this Saturday. If they mention anything during the tram tour, I will relay it to everyone in this thread. I may even do an actual TR
