I haven't been there for a couple decades and I can still smell the pungent sickly sweet gas smell that permeated the whole Kong ride back in the day, lol
Obviously its not the "Monsterverse" one, because universal doesnt own "legendary" for it, so of course the 2005 King Kong film is the one here they can use to make the ride
This is one of my favorites. I know it gets hate because it's a screen based ride, but this is how you do a good screen based ride. The queue line and theming throughout is top notch. So many things happening on screen at once you can't see it all. Very rerideable. The final Kong animatronic is spectacular too. I really hope epic universe expands upon the Godzilla and Kong IP even more.
@@ezioassassain The original Kongfrontation ride was a masterpiece. They should’ve never got rid of it, even with Revenge of Mummy being a solid replacement.
I rode this back in 2021 for the first time. Amazing experience! I will say it smelt very bad in the ride, lol! But I assume that was intentional given it’s a “jungle”. The animatronic is worth every penny. Insane how immersive it is.
Never thought this would be that great of a ride when I first heard of it. I've been on the Hollywood tram tour version dozens of times and assumed this was a lazy way to include a new ride in Orlando. I've never been so wrong about a ride before. Everything from the queue theming, to the effects and the truck/bus system with individual drivers, was so well done.
The ride really does accomplish a lot for the small footprint of the attraction. I believe the actual ride track area is smaller than the que or very similar in size which is an accomplishment for an epic island safari truck ride. Is there room for improvement? Yes but they clearly but a lot of creativity, love and money into making this ride. I have been on it about 30 times. My main criticism about the ride is actually that it is too rough in the simulator mode. But to be honest I have to wonder if it were not I might be here mentioning how boring it was? The overall way I look at it is this is a massive first step in this type of ride. The next generation and the one after that is really going to be amazing. As screens get ever more life like and as they perfect the movement of the simulator platforms it will eventually open up the door for truly convincing virtual rides. Right now the fact it mixes an actual, real world truck moving on a track with actual sets before you load into the simulator it helps you buy into the illusion. Compared to just getting into a simulator ride like Star Tours.
Thank you very much for your comment and how happy I am that you liked the video, visiting it in person is really very different, thank you for watching
@@mauricefaulkner455 it was so realistic I couldn’t open my eyes during the ride and thats why i came back to watch it so i could know what i missed 😅😂
This ride needs to be moved to the area that’s far right of the park behind Poseidons fury and the old Sinbad show, so there can be more Jurassic Park themed rides.
I remember when this ride first came out, I waiting in line for almost 2hrs until the PA told everyone that the ride was shut down but the employees give you a free pass to immediately move you into the front for waiting so long, if the ride come back operational. Then before I left the the park, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and lucky enough the ride was fully operational again and I got the opportunity to experience it.
I was soooo disappointed with this ride. It looks so amazing from the outside, but the ride itself was a major let down. This is a ride i could legit take a nap on. Lol.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't take this walk. Believe me you're going to love it you went 4 times to the mummy walk OMG I admire you I really couldn't say hello and thanks for watching
I love universal so much, there is so much better than disney ❤ I'm so exited for epic univers is coming in 2025 We coming "back to the islands" in 2025 when epic univers is ready, i hope so Thanks for this great video Sorry for my bad english i'm from germany 🙈😂
I understand the point of view somehow you are right because it is not the same to be on the walk than to see yourself in a video at the end you can see Kong thanks for commenting greetings
a pleasure for me that you like the video thanks for watching. I agree with you the lines sometimes become intense depending on the time. if you go to mid-September is very comfortable in weather and short rows codial greeting
@@ExpeditionMode360awww I'm from NY and my girls have neverr been to fla and I'm planning on taking them in August or early September Cuz in NY we start school In Sept. So I hope that's a good time for us❤❤❤!!
Thank you. totally according to you is very different to be inside the Ride, 4D you feel wind, water spray, other effects that are not captured in camera I cordially invite you to watch my other videos.
Awesome‼ One of my favorite rides at Universal Orlando!! I remember going on this, it’s a little similar to the King Kong ride at Universal Studios Hollywood!! I’m definitely looking forward to ride this again and record the whole thing too in the future since I haven’t been to Florida since 4 years ago in mid July & I live in California!! I filmed the King Kong ride at LA during the Studio Tour before and I can definitely & 100% do it for FL's version of King Kong too!! What iPhone camera did you use anyway?
I dig the idea, but this version of Kong is suppose to be like 1,000 feet tall, but I miss the KONGfrontation experience, I feel like by now, giant animatronics and big real life thrill rides should be the idea and the concept
If the vehicle moves you also feel bursts of seeing some moments water also the immersion while going on the trip is totally different from what you can see in video cordial greetings
When I go on this ride I hum the first notes of the Donkey Kong theme, when Donkey is carrying the lady up the building. It always makes me laugh somehow.
I rode it too and the ride is so well made but you always need to brace yourself almost the entire ride because it’ll rock you all over the place. I didn’t and I learned my lesson because after the ride my head stomach and waist was all hurting😅
If it has movements, it depends on the scenes, it must be prepared for the action, but if I tell you that there are really strong rides, this one is not so much. Best regards and thanks for commenting.
This was well done as a ride. Its much better quality than the video suggests and far more pleasing than yet another blurred Jerky mess of the many 3d experience rides there.
We have the same attraction in Moviepark Germany. (Formerly Warner Brothers Movieworld). But a different theme world. We call the ride "The lost temple". It's a dinosaur expedition. Greetings from Germany.
The old komgfrontation ride is way better. This one looks cool with the line and visuals, but the details on kongfrontation were amazing, this parks are going cheap every year.
great that you like my video I appreciate this comment. visit if you have the opportunity you will have an incredible time. best month September and January. greetings shofia
not worth 100million. better than fast and furious ride at universal side though. cool q. solid ride. decent ending. worth a ride. forsure not worth a reride and idk if i would ride it again on another visit. 6/10
I got stuck on this ride once after passing the Kong animatronic, I didn’t realize the ride was jammed as I thought a cart stopped to let people off up ahead, they then had a funny technical difficulties message that the ride stopped due to bugs blocking the path, I wasn’t stuck for that long, probably 3-5 minutes, I could see the Kong animatronic behind me and it was pitched black and in the dark which made it look creepy, but despite getting stuck, it was a pretty funny experience
If this was a Rollercoaster Ride, It would've had Seatbelts and other Rollercoaster Safety Parts to keep riders safe during the Ride. and it would've gone Extremely Fast

I know it's not the same "Kong" but I'm glad they kept this one alive for newer generations. Loved the original ride as a kid!
The 2005 is better
I haven't been there for a couple decades and I can still smell the pungent sickly sweet gas smell that permeated the whole Kong ride back in the day, lol

@@metroishereyt6662 10 times better 👍🏻
the queue is terrifying asf, it really set up the tone that you will be expecting for the ride, diving into the unknown horror

So many things happening on screen at once you can't see it all. Very rerideable. The final Kong animatronic is spectacular too.
I really hope epic universe expands upon the Godzilla and Kong IP even more.
The original ride will always be better than the screens
Godzilla would be tough to get the rights to since it’s Toho’s property.

Nah I had to wait like 2 hours for this 8 ish minute ride
Yea Just Glad they have the Actual Giant animatronic There at the end! a real cherry on top!
yes the best animatronic Best regards
The Queue of this ride is one of the best in the park. Nice and cool to get out of the sun. Never a wait and a enjoyable 3-D glasses ride.
Thanks for sharing, great ride with awesome atmosphere.
how good to know that you liked the video I appreciate your comment cordial greetings
This is one hell of a ride, so realistic it gets your blood moving quite quickly.
I always enjoy doing this thanks for commenting. how good to know that you have also enjoyed it
Hollywood Version is better
Jajajja are you being sarcastic ?

This trip usually has many things set but in my opinion it is very good. I appreciate your comment

@@ExpeditionMode360 Show me.👍
@@DavidVitrano Jurassic World themed rides
Uh okay
How do you move a ride
The big screens just don't cut the original edge that the animatronics and real set design had in the older rides. Texture matters.
This ride was so good! I didn't know anything about it and it was ace! Especially for a TV ride which are usually kinda mediocre
I appreciate your comment greetings

Kate is literally the most badass King Kong character ever. We need her in the Monsterverse pronto
I LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I WANT TO RIDE THAT RIDE!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
thank you so much
I went on this ride on my birthday in June and I had so much fun
I always wanted to visit Universal Studios Orlando, since I went to the one back in Hollywood! Jumping Jaxartosaurus!🦕🦖
believe me you will enjoy to the maximum are the best parks, I hope you can visit soon. thanks for watching my videos
Love this attraction. From start to finish including thr queue
will always be amazing! you're right
I was soooo disappointed with this ride. It looks so amazing from the outside, but the ride itself was a major let down. This is a ride i could legit take a nap on. Lol.
Soooooo coooooooooool 🤯🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Muito legal 👏👏👏 parece muito Real
The old kong ride was so much better
I have yet to get on this ride. The line was too long. I was able to ride the Mummy ride back to back 4 times which was awesome. 😎
I'm sorry to hear you didn't take this walk. Believe me you're going to love it you went 4 times to the mummy walk OMG I admire you I really couldn't say hello and thanks for watching
I wish this was like Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise, Animal Kingdom's Kilmanjaro's Safari, and Great Adventure's Safari Off road Adventure.
that would be great believe me the best experience i invite you to see my other videos thanks for watching
I love universal so much, there is so much better than disney ❤
I'm so exited for epic univers is coming in 2025
We coming "back to the islands" in 2025 when epic univers is ready, i hope so
Thanks for this great video
Sorry for my bad english i'm from germany 🙈😂
I just want to take my daughters to Disney and Universal studios just atleast 1 time ❤❤❤
Wäre was für den Moviepark Germany 😁 unglaublich wie echt der riesen Animatronic aussieht.
Seems like todays "rides" are a kind of "ride through a cinema". Not animatronics, just big TV screens where movies are shown.
I understand the point of view somehow you are right because it is not the same to be on the walk than to see yourself in a video at the end you can see Kong thanks for commenting greetings
Very cool doesn't matter where to put it. Awesome ride. 💙💙💙💙
Thank you
Now we need the godzilla ride and i can go sleep in peace 😀😀😀
wow that would be great to see it believe me that if that premiere comes out I will bring it to you greetings
@@ExpeditionMode360 thx ❤🌷
Still one of my favorite rides at universal studios
Now this how you use a 3D ride done right.
Looks like Fun.
Favorite Movies
of the best and fun the best when you are inside the ride and there is a water breeze, wind these effects are very good.
wait times in Orlando are INSANE
How are the lines in August? I'm from n.y. amd want to take my girls in august
Well that was cool! And I didn’t have to wait in line in the heat for an hour and a half.

Rode this twice about a month ago. Grinned the entire time. It fools your eyes. Makes you think that you’re falling.
You're right, greetings, I invite you to watch my other videos, thank you
Love that the on corps at 1:13 is just a spare from The Mummy ride 😅
I noticed that too, my friend. That is a great Easter egg, too.
Is this the future of park rides? Granted, I like Star Tours, but where's the artistry. Just a movie scene and some shaking.
Of course.. I have more exciting videos for all tastes your opinion is very valid if you have a ride in mind let me know what I will have in mind
Hollywood needs that animatronic at the end 👏

Its good the very first time only. After that ot isn’t worth the wait especially on a busy day

Awesome. 😎👍🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I love that this ride is still around
The real mvp for animatronics on this ride is the driver lol
I totally agree with your comment, greetings, I invite you to watch other videos on my channel, thank you
First impression wasn't great, but I think if you were actually on the ride it would be pretty intense
That was so cool. My husband will be hiding in my shirt. I gotta see it, thx
Sooo cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you for visiting
That was Awesome !! Thank you !! You did Great filming this !
This ride was so fun :)

you're right I love this ride too! thanks for watching you can see more videos you might like best regards 😎
3:27 you completely missed the bat animatronics.
My new idea Godzilla water ride or coaster
Don't get me wrong it is a good ride, I'm just a thrill seeker the faster the better the scarier👍💯
I see Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls on this ride
never been, but i know i wouldn't' even make it to the ride before my heart gave out due to fear just from the que
So Cool.

I can't believe they got rid of the huge king kong prop in favour of video screens.
how is there no line ??
It depends on the time of year
como se llama el lugar?
This is a theme park located in the city of Orlando, Florida, it is called Universal Studios
Is the king Kong at the end of this ride on screen or an actual robotic gorilla? This is nothing like Hollywood Ca's ride but still cool.
yes friend is an animatronic is giant I guess hollywood is very different I would like to meet one day greetings and thanks for appreciating the video
The old komgfrontation ride is way better. This one looks cool with the line and visuals, but the details on kongfrontation were amazing, this parks are going cheap every year.
You are right. sometimes over time they are improving if you want I have more videos I hope you like greetings
Actually they are not going cheap every year lol. Look at Hagrid's, Bourne, and the Velocicoaster
Cool stuff
thank you for you coment
I love how the lore of this is just Son of Kong in a nutshell
Universal Studios visit mode: home-office LOL
Thank you very much for this uploading
thank you very much for watching the video that is the idea you can enjoy. thank you for your positive comments greetings
That's it? That's a waste of time. Nice animatronic at the end though

I went on this ride last week it was amazing with my friends that we had to ride it again❤️❤️ we was screaming
feels better being inside the ride I like you find it enjoyed greetings.
We *were* screaming
Don't get me wrong it's a good ride I agree, I'm just a thrill seeker🙄

what we have at the Hollywood park may not be as glamorous but at least we have it
That park must be spectacular one day I will be able to visit it, best regards
Yeah that's my boy king kong
Kong is not only the king their is something more, this world never belong to us it's belong to them 🤔
You are right
not worth 100million. better than fast and furious ride at universal side though. cool q. solid ride. decent ending. worth a ride. forsure not worth a reride and idk if i would ride it again on another visit. 6/10
I feel like the old Kong looked a lot more realistic.
Man not the same Kong .. old Kong literally would reach out and you can touch him.. kids look up kongfrontation
I got stuck on this ride once after passing the Kong animatronic, I didn’t realize the ride was jammed as I thought a cart stopped to let people off up ahead, they then had a funny technical difficulties message that the ride stopped due to bugs blocking the path, I wasn’t stuck for that long, probably 3-5 minutes, I could see the Kong animatronic behind me and it was pitched black and in the dark which made it look creepy, but despite getting stuck, it was a pretty funny experience
If this was a Rollercoaster Ride, It would've had Seatbelts and other Rollercoaster Safety Parts to keep riders safe during the Ride. and it would've gone Extremely Fast
For how long the line was, this ride was very underwhelming
