This ride is one of the attractions that put Universal on the map. It opened to horrific reviews as (along with Jaws) it failed to be ready for opening day, but it bounced back quickly. Today, it is still considered one of the "must see" attractions in Universal.

When originally constructed, Kongfrontation must have seemed incredible, but it is now starting to show it’s age. It still features he largest animated figure ever, but overall the ride lacks the punch of some of the later attractions like Terminator 2.

One of the attributes of the ride is the attention to detail. The lines twist through a subway station that has is covered with inoffensive graffiti and you get constant news reports of Kong’s location on overhead monitors. The actual ride is a tram voyage through New York as King Kong tries to take a bite of the Big Apple. The ride is five minutes long and is probably too scary for small children. If time is short or you’ve been on it before, skip Kongfrontation- you’ll get more action per wait on other rides.
