Universal Studios Hollywood - Kong 360

I thought it was well done, but 3-D projection screens are nowhere near as realistic and exciting as physical animatronics.

I hope if Kong ever makes a return to Orlando, he will be in full animatronic form.

It's not that good. A nice filler in the larger scheme of things

Not to mention how short the segment is and how crappy the 3D is. The 3D had literally almost zero effect.

I've wanted a new Kong dark ride ever since the remake came out. Alas, no luck. I'm sure the fact that we already had a Kong attraction, with waning popularity, has something to do with it. Still, it was one of the studio's highest grossing films, and one of the last films they made that was truly suited for adaptation to a theme park environment.

Wow, say it like you think Bob.

I agree seeing the roof and floor is annoying but it's pretty cool.

Bob is never one to hold back.

You have to be in a specific spot on the tram to get the effect, otherwise it tends to fall flat.

You're not the only one. I love it, too.

Make that three. I thought it was a major highlight of my trip to USH this summer. For me, it blew Transformers out of the water. I would love to see it replace Disaster in Florida(or become part of a larger movie ride tour in Florida...complete with scenes from BTTF, Jaws, and ET). How awesome would that be?!

I don't think it's a bad attraction at all; I just do not view it as a standalone that could simply be ported it cloned to USF. Major retooling would be necessary for it to work there.

It would indeed be a worthwhile attraction if they made it considerably longer. The only other way the attraction could stand as is would be if it was incorporated into a larger "best of" studio ride.

Just wondering, those who said they really enjoyed the new Kong, did you experience the old?

I rode it years ago when I was young and every themed ride looked amazing.
