Theme Park Insider will be there for the event, with full coverage. Universal hasn't announced an official public opening date for Kong, but the media event for the ride is June 23. We haven't seen a walk-through video of the queue yet, but initial reports say that the interaction actors in the queue are easily seen and not doing 'jump scares.' If you don't want it spoiled, don't watch.) (Universal's on-ride rules prohibit video recording, but if you want to see the new ride, here it is. Here's a first-look bootleg video of the ride. The climax of the ride is a face to face encounter with a new, massive Kong animatronic. The massive new ride includes a plussed version of the King Kong 360/3D experience from Universal Studios Hollywood in a fully-themed environment, including custom trackless ride vehicles and an immersive show building, themed to a Skull Island temple.
