Hey Thrill Seekers,

As has become the custom Universal’s secret new attraction has been pretty much known for about a year now but today Universal Orlando finally confirmed that King Kong is coming to Florida!

The attraction is officially called Skull Island Reign of Kong and will open in the Summer of 2016.

Located at Universal Islands of Adventure the attraction will take place on revolutionary ride vehicles made to look like large off road people movers.

The ride quickly turns into an adventure nightmare where visitors will encounter creatures of unknown origin and even Kong himself! It’s a combination experience of walking through the queue and then the ride. It will also have 3D elements and 360 degree imagery. We also believe it will use animatronics.

Mike West Creative Executive Producer at Universal Orlando told http://www.bizjournals.com/

You enter through Skull Island and go through dense jungles, meandering temple ruins and mazes, and along the way, you run into hostile natives and other unimaginable giant creatures on this journey.

When you get on the expedition trucks, the first part is outdoors approaching the 72-foot-tall great wall. There are beautiful wooden doors and flames shooting on each side. You then drive up through the doors and you enter a dark cavernous cave with deep chasms with other creatures within. You’ll take another turn where you are submerged further into this island where it becomes a fight for survival meeting small and large prehistoric creatures face-to-face.

I can’t wait for this new attraction and Summer 2016 can’t come quick enough.

Smiles included…
