It has been nearly 19 months since an out of control fire took down the “King Kong” portion of the studio lot tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. It was a sad day as there was a lot of history behind that attraction (early plans for Jurassic Park were to use similar technology). While it’ll never be the same, the studio, and Peter Jackson, hope to make it 1,000x cooler. The new Kong attraction, described by Universal Studios as the largest 3-D exhibit in the world, will debut this summer at the height of tourist season, reports the LA Times. If the new technology works as designed, park visitors will not only see Kong in three dimensions but also smell his banana breath, feel the gust of wind as he jumps over the guests and sense the ground quake when the ape engages a Tyrannosaurus rex in a life-or-death battle! The Kong attraction will be one stop on the park’s back lot studio tour ride. Click here to read more about the new attraction. Tell us what you think below. It sounds similar to Uni Orlando’s Spider-Man ride, which is AWESOME.
