Part of Universal’s enhanced studio tour, it is billed as “the largest most intense 3-D experience on the planet.”
“But,” says the LA Times reviewer, “having been-there, done-that, I can say it’s no exaggeration.” Created by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, the attraction
reportedly makes you feel as if you’re immersed in the middle of a dense jungle watching as the giant ape mixes it up with dinosaurs. “You can smell the earthy dampness, feel the wind, and, on more than one occasion, get wet when Kong knocks the spit out of a TRex,” says the reviewer.
Riding on trams, visitors wear 3-D glasses and enter a darkened sound stage, each side wall of which is covered with slightly curved, 187-foot-long, 40-foot-high movie screens. It takes 16 projectors working simultaneously to show the huge
images. Moreover, the screen images project at 60 frames per second (compared to 24 frames per second in the typical film) making for super high resolution. The tram sits on motion simulators, each car separately choreographed to the screen action taking place nearest it.
