King Kong attraction coming to Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled a new King Kong attraction for next year.
‘Skull Island: Reign of Kong’ will open in the summer at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and promises ‘an intense, all-new adventure brought to life in a dramatically themed environment’ where guests become part of the next generation of the Kong legend.
Guests are taken on a journey through ‘an ancient temple inhabited by hostile natives, a perilous jungle ruled by prehistoric creatures, a foreboding underworld of caves concealing unspeakable terrors – and face-to-face with the colossal Kong himself’.
Universal Creative is working closely with Peter Jackson, director of 2005’s blockbuster movie King Kong, to create the attraction.
“King Kong is a Hollywood movie legend and a huge part of both our history and our future,” said Mike West, executive producer, Universal Creative.
“He gives us the opportunity to tap into everything that makes our film history so special and everything that makes our theme park attractions so spectacular. We can’t wait to bring him to life in such an epic way.”
