One of the first travel experts to ride was Sun Travel Editor Lisa Minot who says “the quality of the 3D footage is simply the best I’ve seen on a ride”.

Guests are transported into King Kong’s mysterious world with an expedition to Skull Island on a 40ft long, 17-ton vehicle.

The vehicle, which operates on a trackless ride system, takes them deeper into the ominous island, where they find themselves in the midst of a brutal struggle between beasts of unimaginable size and ferocity.

Someone or something has to save the day – my bet is on King Kong!

The pool is surrounded by two sand beaches, a picturesque waterfall and a  lush lagoon which will take guests to Universal Orlando’s theme parks and CityWalk via water taxi. The hotel also has a selection of dining experiences.
