I think in the last announcement it was only "Fall of 2016." Not sure if there has been anything more definite.
When I was there a few weeks ago the wall was up and construction was going on. Attachment 3571
We love the KK portion on the backlot tour in Hollywood, and miss the old ride in Orlando. Looking forward to it.
Hope they add to the Jurassic experience as well.
Bananas are expensive.
Got to see the rock work facade up close.... WOW!!!!!
Universal posted a blog this morning with more details about the story behind the ride.
We were at Universal 2 weeks ago and the façade looks absolutely amazing. Just WOW.
Have they released the opening date?
I "volounteered" to take my little niece on Pteranadon Flyers to get the best possible view of Kong. Genuinely looks like one of the most exciting attractions for a long, long time.
i think it should be open by summer. i might go in sept so i hope so. i was on the old Kong years ago..and the one in Hollywood. i hope this is great
If anyone is interested, Universal is currently running a series of videos on Youtube explaining the back story for this new attraction. It is presented as a entertainment/documentary type television program called "Myth Explorers" similar to the programs that are popular these days. There are currently six episodes available each about six minutes or so. These not only explain the back story but also include a lot of views of the ride queue, ride vehicles and a quick look at the gigantic Kong animatronic. Also includes what appears to be scenes from a 360 3D. This is going to be an AMAZING ride!
yes i just saw that video. looking forward to it
Got this from last weekend while on the way to Jurrasic
