Two big announcements from Universal Parks & Resorts: the company has announced a new partnership with Nintendo, plus a new King Kong attraction for its Orlando resort.
The immersive experiences will include major attractions at Universal’s theme parks and will feature Nintendo’s most famous characters and games. New King Kong AttractionUniversal has also announced the new “Skull Island: Reign of Kong” attraction, set to open in the summer of 2016 at Universal’s Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando.
The attraction begins as guests are transported deep into a wild and mysterious world, where their mission is to discover creatures of unknown origin. 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 – and face-to-face with the colossal Kong himself.
This is not the first King Kong-themed attraction for Universal. "Kongfrontation," at Universal Studios Florida, took guests on an elevated tram that was attacked by King Kong. Based on the 1976 film, that ride closed in 2002.
