Steam punky. No idea on opening time with this, most likely towards the end of the year like NBC Grill, but if they can get it up by the summer then they've got a hefty amount to open in one go, marketing attack!

 

Kong is looking likely to be the 23rd June as that is when VIP tours etc have been blocked out. Gonna get busy!

    "Yeah I haven't actually been on the ride but I'm going to argue about its quality with people who have".   Watching an unofficial POV of almost any dark ride is doing it a disservice.

  • Kong. Stunning! . The facade is incredible and daunting. The mountain mural looks great up close, and even better from the distance, really looks like a mountain range going off into the distance. The

I am a bit confused with this investment. To me it sounds like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory factory but not as good.

I find it really hard to like most of the recent investments. Volcanoe Bay will have a very low capacity and Kong's painting of the 'forest' in the background look terrible. It simply looks cheap and ruins the effect of the amazing rock work.

It's a market that CityWalk didn't yet cater too. Yeah, has similarities to CATCF but at heart it's just a Victorian chocolate place. I wouldn't really say CATCF is steampunk, just weird.

 

Volcano Bay is being worked on to be one of the best water parks in the world. They're calling it a water theme park and building a 200ft volcano structure for its core. Can't be worse than Wet'n'Wild. Plus, it is rumoured to not have queues. It will use a sophisticated R'n'R but designed with this in mind so it works.

 

Kong's paint work is odd. Guess it might look better in person, but this photo from a few days ago on OTPN shows it well.

These investments shouldn't be the ones to question, I'm sure they'll be amazing. It's Fallon and Furious that I'd call dubious.

They were trailing this at Wet'n'Wild back in October when I was there, it's a good system. You wear an electric watch which displays how long you have until your next ride. To select a ride you just go up to one of the points around the park, scan you watch and choose one on a touchscreen display. Should be perfect by the time volcano bay opens :)

Still, it's pretty impressive when you consider how large the building actually is. This'll probably be universal's best new ride outside of the Potter additions they've had for a while.

On that point, is the building/ track length really that long if it stays at the same size/ scale of the outdoor track.

I may be wrong here but how much track does that building fit?
