Next year Universal Orlando Resort will unleash the new Skull Island: Reign of King Kong attraction. It will open in the summer of 2016 at their Island of Adventure. It is rumored to be an intense, all-new adventure immersed in a dramatic environment.
Universal Creative is working closely with Peter Jackson, famed director of 2005’s blockbuster movie, King Kong, to immerse guests in this incredible adventure.
“King Kong is a Hollywood movie legend and a huge part of both our history and our future,” said Mike West, Executive Producer, Universal Creative. “He gives us the opportunity to tap into everything that makes our film history so special and everything that makes our theme park attractions so spectacular. We can’t wait to bring him to life in such an epic way.”
If that wasn’t enough, Universal is also working with Nintendo to create some amazing attractions for game lovers everywhere. Nintendo has created remarkable and imaginative worlds filled with captivating stories and beloved characters. Now, for the first time, those stories and characters will be brought to life in entirely new ways, only at Universal theme parks.
The immersive experiences will include major attractions at Universal’s theme parks and will feature Nintendo’s most famous characters and games. More details will be announced in the future, as the Nintendo and Universal creative teams work to create specific concepts.
