Skull Island: Reign of Kong – All Set to Rule Universal Orlando this Summer

It has been quite a wait for the King Kong fans at Universal Orlando. Ever since the Resort had closed the Kongfrontation ride, expectations keep growing for a new and much bigger Kong attraction. But now with the construction walls down the message is loud and clear. Also given the latest developments, including sights of the giant ape staring at you, it seems the adventures that follow on-board the new ride are much more than just a bunch of terrifying experiences.

A look at the tall – towering door, or the sights of skulls and those dominating glimpses of Kong in his massive best (the huge rock formation) all seem to suggest only one thing – Kong Is back and yes the epic monster is hiding there somewhere in his strange home, namely the Skull Island.

The only confirmation available is that it will open in summer 2016. For now a soft opening is expected soon. This is when the ride will be opened for a limited time for live-testing.

According to information available from external sources it’s believed that the newest ride adventure is almost six minutes long, taking riders to Skull Island, on-board a specially designed vehicle. Inside the Island guests encounters many surprises, including terrifying terrains, caves and strange creatures as enemies and not to forget the surprise encounters with the massive ape himself.

Among the many highlights of the new attraction, includes the massive and most impressive – first time ever Kong animatronics by Universal. Another most notable feature of the attraction is the queue. Often considered as a theme park hassle, the ride queues make life difficult for guests. But not for this time, as Universal has defied all conventions in taking forward the queue story to the next level. In fact the queue for the attraction is an important part of the Kong adventure itself. It plays a much bigger role and the use of technically impressive scareactors tells a lot in this regard.
