Trevler Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I wouldnt do it until you've done all HHN only stuff. If you've never done it, I'd do it before riding the Mummy or Jurassic Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 EXACTLY! I mean its still really new right now. It just opened up in July, so a lot of people have yet to ride it. (I know I havent) But I get the feeling that if enough people ride and like it, It may return next year :/. But I dont mind, it'll eat up lines, and I'm not expecting a 6th maze next year anyway. I mean it took us five years to get to 5 houses. Well I tweeted Murdy if there would be a sixth maze in our future and said, "Would love to do it. Just need to find the space..." Then someone on here tweeted him about using JP as the maze space and said, "Well I was going to use JP as the fifth maze but then KK came up." So if Kong leaves the Jurassic queue next year (It's a bit uncertain if it will stay or not since it's popularity will die-down eventually. Plus, like DTH mentioned, do you ever see an express tram for Earthquake or Jaws?), then that means sixth maze could be possible, but don't give your hopes up.

HorrorNights93 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'll definetly give it a try but that would be after I've done everything else on the lower lot first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Blues Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 hahahaha. has anybody rode it yet? i heard it was real corny and old. Corny and old? No way, it was a great innovative new ride. Granted, it's not a must see, but as part of the overall tram experience, it really gives the whole thing a much deserved shot in the arm. My recommendation is to try to get a seat in the middle of the tram. You can pretty much see everything from wherever you sit, but to get the full effect, you have to be in the middle.

Freak Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 In case you people were wondering how we would enter the attraction without interfering with the JP queue, the KK queue goes up the steps, through the second story seating area for the Jurassic Cafe, and towards the extended JP queue. I guess if KK leaves next year we know how the entrance is going to be set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electro_killer Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 This was my first time riding Kong and I was blown away! Amazing. The queue is a little bit much. Its really long and unnecessary, I dont think it will ever utilize the ENTIRE queue even on a peak night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Haha, how long is the queue, space wise? And how much time did it take up from loading to unloading, driving there and back? Etc. I haven't hit this yet, been waiting for HHN so I'm very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Blues Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Well the reason is cause I think it's the only way they could get to the tram from that area, so it has to wind and go on for a bit. When I first went through we weren't sure if we were going the right way cause of how long and empty it seemed. Then we saw Christopher Lloyd and figured Doc Brown would know the way there and followed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween Blues Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hahah that's the only time I ever saw him in the park.He had a private escort though, so they were probably shuttling him from one attraction to the next so he wouldn't have to deal with the crowds.

HorrorNights93 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm really glad this was added to HHN. For one, the ride was AMAZING and not bad as I've heard from people. It also soaked up a good amount of people and allowed my feet to rest a bit from constant walking and running. I could see this ride being utilized in HHN future.

electro_killer Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The trip to and from Kong is pretty damn long. Its a bit of a time suck, and I think because we did this we didnt have time for Vampyre. (mind you we didnt even do any rides) SO, if youve already ridden King Kong 360 3-D dont ride this @ HHN as it is not changed for HHN. Another thing is its very distacting from HHN, they used the normal movie clips for us to watch , and semi normal small talk, not fitting for HHN at all. All that aside KK is amazing, and if you havent seen it, ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 How long would you say? 20, 30, 40 minutes even? Anything longer than 20, I don't really wanna waste the time for it even though I haven't done it yet. But then again, I'm going on a Thursday so I don't know if you what you're saying applies to my situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro_killer Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It took about roughly 20 min for us maybe 25. It seemed longer because we made one trip into Kong, and it didnt work, so we had to exit and re-enter. Idk it just seems like a long trip because our guide wasnt really talking and she was showing us lame video clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I guess I'll check it out if I have some time on my hands and I want to hold out until the chainsaw chase-out, but this doesn't sound like a completely successful "added ride" if you ask me. The system and the fact that King Kong's popularity will dwindle spells out doom for it next year I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro_killer Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 IMHO Its very UN-HHN. As another member mentioned they show the normal day time movie clips, and its really distracting from the HHN vibe of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 They couldn't just show some horror movie clips? Not even the classics, I mean, what's up with that? I say we gather together and send an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 It was my first time on King King also, and I was very impressed - much better than I expected. However, where you sit makes a HUGE difference. Not necessarily on which side you sit, but how forward ot back you sit. The dead center (front to back) of the tram is by far the best show. My second time through, I sat in the last car, and everything was really distorted. The 3D didn't work well in the back, either. They really need to consider moving the Gate A line, though. They make you walk the entire route that the rest of the customers walk, yet you end up on the other side of the JP queue. There's no reason that the Gate A couldn't just pass through the back fence of the JP queue. That short path could easily hold a few hundred Gate A customers - which is about 90 more than there ever are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
