I will warn you that it's very dark inside. If they aren't spooked easily then give it a try. I'd say that it's good for ages 8 and up, but as with anything – you know your kids. I believe the ride itself would be okay for kids, but there are some creepy moments in the wait line that definitely freaked out the kids in the building. You can bring a bottle of water in or you can wait until you reach the snack stop which is right before you enter the building itself. Now, I'm not sure if this will last forever, but there is a drink and snack stop along the way.

There were about 4 water fountains in the wait line which made it seem much easier to get through. So, just know that you aren't almost there until you actually see the ride.ĭon't worry about staying hydrated because there are water fountains along the way. It's almost a non-stop movement because there are about 30 people per ride (no, I will not elaborate on that). It really is not that bad though! As long as there aren't any malfunctions, the line moves very quickly. There will be a few points where you think, “Okay, we are almost there!” Then you turn a corner and you aren't. So, without giving away a ton of spoilers, I want to tell you 6 things about Universal's new King Kong ride – Skull Island: Reign of Kong. That's one of the many perks of being a Universal annual passholder – we can go for a few hours and do whatever we want without feeling like we are wasting time. We said that we'd wait 3 hours if we had to.

With that said, we didn't care about the wait. We decided to take a trip to Universal's Islands of Adventure for two specific reasons: to catch Pokémon and to ride the new King Kong ride. We would try to peek over the wall every chance that we got. Then it finally opened! We were so excited the first time we saw them. When you're walking through Islands of Adventure you will see the mountains from Skull Island from far away. We've visited quite a few times since they started building Kong and we were just so in awe of how realistic it looked. We finally got the chance to ride Universal's Skull Island: Reign of Kong! We are annual passholders, but it's been quite a busy summer since the new Universal King Kong ride has opened.
