Psycho_Bates Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 What do you all think they should with King Kong 360 during Halloween Horror Nights? The idea I have is making 2 separate trams 1 tram to the maze of the backlot and another tram for king kong 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTH316 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 No, no, no. No lock. How it will be manipulated into the event is still very unclear. Where will the line be considering the Studio Tour queue gets full on busy nights? (Barely a row or two during the weekdays though.) Will the theme of Horror Nights still be considered or will it be a straight approach for the event (meaning will it be Horror Nights screens, commentary; not changing of the actual attraction)? What the Kong - Terror Tram tram ratio? 1:4 is my guess. How much time would it take to go all the way down into the backlot just to go on Kong and go back up? There is still a lot to discuss about Kong being used this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG DTH your god you stoped the Lock! jk but i concur we can still talk about it, but I usualy go on peak nights and never see the queue packed. another question to ponder is will it close at the same time as terror tram?

DTH316 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ahhhh, that is a good question. I have a feeling Kong will use the spanish queue. How they'll decipher which one is a Kong tram or a Terror Tram will be interesting. Will they just let a group go from either queue when the tram comes? That spanish queue doesn't even hold enough people to fill up a tram. I have a feeling after about a weekend or so they'll just mesh the two together.

Psycho_Bates Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 It could be like the english Tram queue: Terror Tram and the Spanish tram queue: King Kong 360 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTH316 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Now the question is; which one to do first? Hmmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onca Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Terror Tram, naturally. Especially if you just make a whole day out of Universal and take in the rides and whatever else you can take for the day time, including Kong on the Studio Tour, then come back in at night time and take in the Horror Nights entertainment.

ZackT Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Tbh, the kong attraction is so short they could easily get away with taking people thru it first and then dropping them off in the backlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onca Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Rather than wasting line space and miss risking the confusion that might happen for line arrangement, as well as possibly paying for extra tram drivers and guides. Yes, it makes more sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro_killer Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I sure hope so, Because I am a very impatient person and would hate to have to wait in line twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Maybe they could do it like this. Those who wish to do Kong, can and will also be allowed to do the Terror Tram. Those who wish to do just Terror Tram, the other line. Tram drivers for Kong will take through Kong, drop off at Terror Tram, won't bother with picking people back up and will zoom back up to the station to save time. How they want to handle the lines is up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackT Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 The problem with Kong, especially when it's only Kong, is that tram traffic becomes really bad. The hill they go down to get into the "skull island" area ultimately will back up all exiting cars. At employee preview night we had this problem and wait times were somewhat long because the only attraction open was Kong and there were tons of people in line, but only 1 attraction available. So rather than rerouting traffic to a different area (say, New York City replica area), everyone is just waiting for the next tram car to go through Kong. But eh, I guess it cancels out in the end. Either wait in a long line or wait while on the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hey guys, thought I'd share this interesting bit of info. The Kong Express will be on the Lower Lot, keeping the Studio Tour queue for Terror Tram. Didn't think about that but that's definitely a good idea since it would be closer. I'm just curious as to where the trams will line up at and where the queue will be. I'm thinking maybe the Jurassic Park over spill queue or something. I don't know, definitely cool that there will be more to do on the lower lot this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) It's gotta be the JP overspill queue. I tweeted Murdy asking him if that would make a good maze location a while back and he said, "Maybe, but I think it can be used for something else."

Grindhousehero13 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 No because look at a uni Map the lower lot is connected to the backlot it would have to be near the mummy or esculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 No because look at a uni Map the lower lot is connected to the backlot it would have to be near the mummy or esculator How can they do it there? There's too much queue space for Mummy and Saw to have the tram or queue going there. Plus, underneath the escalator is where they drop off/pick up the handicapped people to and from the lower lot.
