Hello everyone! I was at IOA last night, and I took a quick video of the construction progress at Skull Island - Reign of Kong. Enjoy!!

They really seem to get them done very quickly. (Many times, it seems faster than Disney) I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Wow!!

Thanks for sharing that!!

I can't wait to see how much farther along it is in 2 months when we get there. I've been a huge King Kong fan since I was a kid and I'm really looking forward to this attraction. Universal has really locked up some of my future vacation dollars with this one.

I'm glad they circled back to a Universal Original...I just hope there is at least one big Kong animatronic in ride ... Looks great so far

I am so so so excited to go back next summer ..Deliberately going in August again so it should be open

Looks GREAT; thanks for posting. Trying to plan a "summer" '16 trip and REALLY want this to be open. ANY updates on opening date???? TIA!

I am heading down in June and I am crossing my fingers for this to be opened.

Hotel rates through the Universal website for HR and RP are very HIGH June, July, Aug which I guess reflects the anticipated opening. Hope that some AAA rates are offered!

Is this replacing something, or did they build in an open space? I wish Universal had more property, so instead of replacing things to add new they could just add on.

Kong hasn't replaced anything, it was spare land to the left of Thunder Falls terrace and to the right hand side of Ripsaw Falls.
