He Reigns

Brave the brutal struggle of a 1930’s expedition that’s caught in a clash between prehistoric predators, man-eating beasts, and the most colossal ape ever to walk the earth—King Kong.

Our Overview

Skull Island: Reign of Kong resurrects an iconic beast—King Kong—in a new format. The ride includes limited but interesting physical sets, computer graphic imaging, and an impressive colossal animatronic of King Kong. Overall, Skull Island: Reign of Kong is a fun attraction with a fantastic queue; however, it relies heavily on screens,  and it pales in comparison to Universal Orlando's original King Kong ride, Kongfrontation, which closed in 2002.
