Peter Jackson talks Universal Studios’ King Kong 360 3D

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

You guys remember that badass King Kong attraction we’ve been telling you about? The ride is called “King Kong 360 3D” and is exactly what it sounds like: An epic 3D attraction featuring that big hairy teddy bear! All this shite I’m spilling to you is old news… so let’s get to the fresh stuff!

Not only has Universal Studios Hollywood saddled “King Kong 360 3D” with an opening date, but we’ve also got a video interview with Academy Award winning director Peter Jackson where he chats about said attraction! Considering the man had a major hand in designing this beast you might want to hear what he has to say… Just scroll below or head over to our videos section to check out the interview for yourself.

And what about that date? Well folks, “King Kong 360 3D” will be going live July 4th! Can you think of a better way to celebrate your Fourth of July? Hell no you can’t!

In the new attraction, guests will be given special 3-D glasses as they enter a darkened soundstage aboard the Studio Tour trams and will be transported— via the magic of Surround Digital 3D projection —deep into a tangled jungle location. They’ll survive a close encounter with a swarm of hungry raptors, only to be confronted by the terrifying presence of 35′ tall dinosaur behemoths, intent on attacking the tram and Studio Tour guests.

Suddenly, a 25′ tall gorilla appears – Kong himself! The trams jolt and shudder as the guests find themselves caught in the middle of a titanic struggle between these colossal prehistoric foes – the great ape and carnivorous reptiles – action which sends the packed trams sliding ever closer to the edge of a bottomless chasm.

Sounds like that’s going to be pretty f*cking epic… I know I’m completely sold! I’m sure most of you are as well. Now we’ve just got to get over to Universal Studios Hollywood to try this thing!
