universal studios california fire

That's a huge loss! Kong was classic. I can't really fathom the building collapsing on all of the props and animatronics and sfx used in kong. That's really sad.

Maybe the ONLY good thing about this is now they might consider rebuilding the Kong scene in the fashion of the Peter Jackson film, which most people consider to be a vastly superior film to the 1970's version. Still it does stink to lose a classic part of that park.

This is true, plus its probably more than likely that Universal will do this. Still, such a shame to see that animatronic get destroyed though...

Sadly, King Kong will be missed, but this is possitive news amongs the rubble.

Any guesses on what it will be? Something Harry Potter to tie in with IOA? Or one of their other classic movies? Hopefully I can plan a trip there after the new rebuild is complete.

I haven't been to any of the Universal parks, but I guess this is tragic. I know there was one at Universal Orlando. Maybe the new attraction will be even better.

I saw 90+ pictures online just a couple hours after it happened. Wow...king kong really did make a comeback.
