Coming to Universal’s Islands of Adventure this summer, Skull Island: Reign of Kong has been growing quickly, and teasing park goers with its impressive 72ft tall walls and dominating rock work, which reportedly took 7000 man hours to build.
The first substantial glimpses of the new attraction were revealed just the other week and they certainly got us here at WhatCulture.com excited.
Now Universal have finally taken the chains off of Kong and more details on the 8th wonder of the world have been unleashed via a new press release and details uncovered by myself at a recent, exclusive media-preview event for the new attraction that took place in London.
Trust me when I say this one sounds like it’s going to be epic…
In both the press release and his presentation to the media last week, Universal Creative executive producer Mike West talks passionately...

Something big is about to launch at Universal Orlando Resort’s Islands of Adventure.
When the summer comes round, the park will see the grand opening of Skull Island: Reign of Kong, which promises to bring the next generation of the King Kong legend to life. Universal are calling it a multi-sensory experience that is unlike anything King Kong fans have seen at parks so far, with a longer run time and more thrills than you could angrily shake a spear at.
Though details have so far been kept inevitably under wraps, some tantalising information is now available for one of 2016’s most hotly anticipated rides. There’ll be ferocious monsters fighting for dominance, there’ll be stunning environments and beauty and ferocity on an unthinkable scale.
Universal are teasing the release of more new information soon, but for now, this is what we know – and what you...

King Kong, the legendary ape who has both fallen for and terrorized Fay Wray, Jessica Lange, and Naomi Watts (to name a few), has long been a staple of Universal Studios theme parks. There's the King Kong Encounter, a section of Universal Hollywood's tram tour starting in 1986, the updated version of this experience that debuted at Universal Studios Orlando when the park opened in 1990, plus the recent King Kong 360 3D (once again at Universal Studios Hollywood), that replaced the old Kong section of the tour. Kong has certainly been King, at least at Universal Studios.
So it's not that big of a surprise that Universal announced an immersive new Kong experience, slated to open in the summer of 2016, called "Skull Island: Reign of Kong." This huge experience, which will supposedly be one of the longest and most intense attractions in the entire Universal Orlando complex, allows guests to, for the first time,...

King Kong will rule at Universal Orlando Resort next year in the groundbreaking attraction, “Skull Island: Reign of Kong.”
The new attraction will open in the summer of 2016 at Universal’s Islands of Adventure – and will be an intense, all-new adventure brought to life in a dramatically themed environment. Skull Island: Reign of Kong will pull guests into a powerfully told story where they become part of the next generation of the Kong legend.
It begins as guests are transported deep into a wild and mysterious world, where their mission is to discover creatures of unknown origin – but where they are soon fighting for their own survival. Their journey will take them 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.
