More green track spotted on route thanks to Screamscape. So Hulk is starting to take shape, someone rumoured about May opening for this. It's in a similar stage that Smiler was so it's possible, especially as frost won't exactly be an issue.

 

Kong has been painted.

Back just needs to be done now.

Universal Creative were also touring the outside section yesterday.

 

New description of the attraction on the website too. https://www.universalorlando.com/Rides/Islands-of-Adventure/Skull-island-reign-of-kong.aspx

 

 

Enter the ruins of a primal realm and journey into the dark heart of an island filled with untold dangers. Vicious, ancient predators and unspeakable monstrosities rip into your crew and swarm from every side. Then, in an act of sheer ferocity—or monstrous bravery—King Kong charges between you and certain doom with an earthshaking fury. With each thundering roar and each chest-pounding thud, one colossal truth comes clear. 

This is his home, his kingdom. Only he reigns. 

Says best for teens and adults. Height restriction will be lower though, they're making this thing scary. Apparently they've been using HHN tactics or something for this. The facade is menacing enough though!

It's great that other people are getting involved, means I don't have to make such long winded updates  :P

More track up. They're going to work backwards on it as the footers in the lake area have been problematic so they've basically had to start them from scratch. Don't know if they're still planning on theming them. But yes, a fair amount of track in the back half ready to be put up and it seems to be rising quickly. Track from Ohio should all be delivered by March, up by April and then testing begins. Meanwhile, Hulk will be running the trucks around on the exterior path within the next 4 weeks. Things are really in first gear for Summer now!

Some clearer photos of the corkscrew exit being put in place. Once that's in it's up to the MCBR.

Fallon and F&F are progressing much faster now as well. Also talks of new slide pieces being stored at Wet'n'Wild so wouldn't be surprised if we see some slides going into Volcano Bay soon, especially if they have to build the slides into the volcano structure.
