King Kong’s reign over Universal Orlando Resort has begun with the official grand opening today of the new Skull Island: Reign of Kong attraction at Islands of Adventure.
The Today Show was live on the scene this morning with Al Roker and the gang trying out the ride and mingling with fans at the queue area, as documented by Universal Orlando Resort’s official blog.
