Throwback Thursday: Behind the scenes of King Kong at Universal Studios Hollywood from 1986. See 🔗 in profile for the video. ABOUT: King Kong (better known as King Kong Encounter and also known as Kongfrontation during opening and King Kong: The Ride) was an attraction formerly part of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. The attraction was based on the 1976 King Kong film and served as a basis for a stand-alone Kongfrontation, a former attraction at Universal Studios Florida. The scene, located amongst the New York Street backlot sets in the heart of the studios, was destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire and was replaced by King Kong: 360 3-D, which was opened on July 1, 2010. #UniversalHollywood #UniversalStudiosHollywood #UniversalStudios #UniversalMemories #StudioTour #UniversalStudiosLot #Jaws #UniversalCity #KingKong #KingKongEncounter #MovieStudio #MovieStudios #Animatronics #BTS #KingKongRide #LifeAtUSH #RideTheMovies #Soundstage #Gorilla #BobGurr #ShowSystem #UncleC...
