Ah, thanks. My first visit to Universal or IOA was long after they closed down that ride.
Looks really nifty.
Did I mention that Kong is a 3D attraction with several projection scenes mixed in physical sets. The finale is a wrap around 3d kong battle
That should explain those budget questions to a degree. It also explains the space issues.Only time will tell if its built though
@Hanspgr I left out the 3d aspect so it didn't become a conversation about 3d. To my knowledge their will be no Kong AA
The 3-D aspect is kinda important to mention when comparing a ride to Indy, the Great Movie Ride, and Kongfrontation, all rides that completely utilized fully-realized physical sets and animatronics......
Big AAs don't move realistically or reliably. I'd rather have a Kong that works than a Kong that's in disco mode for 6 years.
Between nothing and this...
I'll take this.
Uh, have you even been on Indy? a good 1/4 of that ride is nothing more than blakclight painted walls, and there are nothing close to great AAs in the ride, yet it's still one of the best rides in the world.
Plus, HTF has already said there will be sets in the new Kong.

Now the whole thing makes a lot more sense. And is more disappointing. I don't mind 3-D, but animatronics are better, and I think that's kinda what everyone was hoping for.
I'm more of a proponent of 3-D than most, and I agree that it's better than nothing, but I'm also a huge proponent of physical effects/animatronics as well. Not all animatronics are doomed to fail--Universal could've pulled it off (as they did in the past). But I guess we'll take what we can get. It's still pretty disappointing.
How about waiting till it's done to say there's no physical effects, huh?

I would have been fine if Kong was both on screen and an AA like the Disaster replacement was to be.
