I headed out to Universal’s Islands of Adventure on a dark and gloomy December morning to get some new images and video of the construction progress for Skull Island: Reign of Kong. So much has been accomplished since my last update, but I imagine some of the more incredible work has been going on inside the building, beyond those massive gates. According to eye-witnesses, apparently those giant gates have been tested recently and are ready to go. When I came by they were locked open and covered in tarps, but lots of other work was being done: the outdoor ride path and set pieces are coming along nicely, the outdoor and indoor portions of the queue are taking shape, and little flourishes like skulls, spears, and torches have started to appear! Take a look at the images below and watch the video for more. Be sure to share the video and check back soon for more park updates.
Construction Photos:

Outdoor ride path in background, Kong face entry archway on right. Looks like planters built-in to block queue from entry

Human skulls added along base of Kong entry arch. Other skulls can be seen on spears throughout area

Outdoor ride path visible from Camp Jurassic. Is just paved with bumpy surface. No sign of tracks, so hopefully ride will in fact be trackless as rumored

Ride show doors that open/close behind large gates to block light after vehicle enters. Skulls on spears can be seen in foreground
That’s all for this Kongstruction update. Check out our huge update of all the work going on at Universal Studios Florida, with video!
