I thought she was just being exuberant about going on the new attraction. But, I did wonder if she knew someone who worked on King Kong 360 or was playing it up for the camera (a little actress work there).

Her exuberance would be incredibly distracting and annoying. The synchronized effect with the tram was quite cool, and I can imagine it would be a lot of fun wearing the 3D glasses. However, there was something kind of "gimicky" about the whole thing... and I hate how you can see the screens at the end. The experience seems very typical of USH.

They think they're HILARIOUS when they do this. God help any of them who do this when I go back to the US with my partner in a couple of years. Not only will it be his first Disney park experience, it will be his first theme park experience EVER and it's going to be PERFECT.

I can't hear a word of narration with all her "OHMYGAWD!" and other nonsense.
