King Kong 360 3D plunges visitors into the heart of Skull Island, bringing Peter Jackson's vision to life with breathtaking realism. As part of the Studio Tour, this attraction uses cutting-edge 3D technology and special effects to create an immersive experience unlike any other.
Guests don 3D glasses and board the Studio Tour tram, which enters a soundstage transformed into a recreation of Skull Island. The air fills with the scent of a damp jungle, setting the stage for adventure. Suddenly, a pack of Venatosaurus emerges, chasing the tram as it speeds through the jungle in a desperate attempt to escape.
The tram enters a building where it drives onto a motion-based platform, adding another layer of realism. The platform tilts, vibrates, and even raises and drops, intensifying the action. Physical effects such as wind, water, and air blasts further enhance the experience, while the scent of King Kong's banana breath adds a unique sensory dimension. King Kong 360 3-D replaced the King Kong Encounter, which was destroyed in a fire in 2008.
