Shortly after part of the Universal Studios Hollywood Backlot burned down in 2008, the park announced they would be rebuilding the King Kong portion of the Studio Tram Tour. Universal Studios says that it will utilize 3D technology to make guests feel like they are in the movie with King Kong. It is said to be the biggest 3D experience in the world.
Universal’s tech wizards are hard at work to animate a giant life like ape that the studio tram will encounter. During the huge sequence, guests will not only be able to see King Kong, but also smell his breath and feel the gusts of air. In this newly re-imagined segment of the Studio Tram tour, King Kong will be in an epic battle against a huge Dinosaur and guests will be right in the middle of it.
King Kong 360 will debut in just a few months as construction is coming to an end. To get people excited for the soon to be opened attraction, Universal Studios Hollywood has released a trailer showing that King Kong has arrived to Universal Studios. After seeing this, all I can say is watch where you park your car at Universal Studios!
Look what King’s Island just posted to their YouTube Channel. Looks like some lucky Ohio residents will start to hear this catchy tune in commericals, radio ads, and more with this new Kings Island anthem. “The Fun and Only” may be a marketing success with the new Planet Snoopy area opening up and him being the new park mascot. Go ahead and listen, you know it’s catchy. Leave a comment with your park thoughts below. =]
The HoliBlog recently teamed up with the great guys at Gravity Group to show off some of the features of the upcoming Timberliner trains that will be installed to the Voyage in Holiday World. Indiana’s number 1 theme park will be improving the already outstanding wooden coaster with these new trains.
The Timberliners are very unique in several ways. One of the biggest ones is that the trains actually steer. Traditional wooden coaster trains (in fact all wooden coaster trains prior to this) had fixed axles so the trains would be forced around the turn. The new style of trains will allow each car to glide around the turns as the wheels each can swivel slightly.
Another great feature is the lap bar system. Gravity Group set out to create a way for the the park to have maximum capacity, and one way of doing that was by having a quicker loading time. Timberliners have lap bars that come from the side to over the waste to allow for no seat belt necessary making for safety checks to be much faster. These restraints accomadate a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so big Uncle Bill and little Bobby can enjoy the Voyage.
Voyage will become even more impressive with the sleek train designs that are very stylish. They have a very distinct silhouette. Not only do they look nice, but the cars ride better as well. Each duo of seats is accommodated suspension to allow for yet a smoother ride (as if steering was not enough).
I highly recommend you watch the video as they Gravity Group makes everything entertaining. What do you think of the Timberliners? Leave a comment with your Park Thoughts below!
