I'm glad my daughter (12 on the 1st of June) is a horror affectionado like me. A few months back we watched De Lift (Dutch horror movie about a haunted elevator, had a US remake as The Shaft as well, but we watched the original); anyway, I had told her this movie freaked me out as a kid (it did, I was mortified of taking elevators for a long time) and my daughter said: this is dumb, you must have been a very gullible child.

I think Izzy should show that Episode 5 video to her daughter to gauge whether she is ready for this attraction.

Good idea!!! Now that we are not blacked out of IOA in June we will be going to IOA in June with friends. So I imagine Kong will be on the list of rides to go on since my friends kids are older. I figured we would do rider swap and based on the first ride determine whether she goes on the second time.

I will try to show her the video tonight.

He's exactly what I wanted. And it almost doesn't look totally like Peter Jackson's Kong, which I was expecting. It actually looks like a blend of that but also modern-day updates of our Kongfrontation Kong. I could not be more thrilled.

Wow the AA satisfies as an attraction in itself IMO...It could have been a meet and greet and I'd be happy

The blurry video of Kong at the end kind of made him look like Stevie Wonder. What in hell is he roaring at as it certainly not the person videoing him. And she is kinda blonde. I would think he would be more curious then look off into the heavens...

Many of the comments on youtube are along the lines of...

"Finally! Animatronics!"

Universal really should start moving away from screen based attractions.

I feel like this could be in the future for UNI, their AA's (when they do have them) look amazing.

She said, "She didn't like it, it was scary, and we should never go on that ride"

Then while I was typing this she said she wanted to go on it once, just to see what it was. Then she asked if it was going to be just like the video. lol

Now she wants to see more of the video again to see the bones part. And she has her shark and is saying, "King Kong Shark"

Kids are so confusing.

Nintendo is rumored to be more physical than one would think so there you go. Who wants a Bowser AA made by Creature Technology? ;)

Agreed. She even asked if it was real. I said no baby, you know theme parks are all pretend. She goes, "Oh OK". So it sounds like she is willing to go on. She keeps talking about the bones and if they are in the ride. She also asked if there was a real Skull Island. I said the only Skull Island is in the theme park and it is was all created by Universal people. She seems to understand that part. We will see if she crawls into my bed in the middle of the night because she things Kong is eating her. My favorite dream of her is when a wolf is eating her. I call her "wolf food" she was not fond of that the first time it happened. But the second time she also thought it was funny. Since she has thought it was funny the dream has not come back.
