  • @twoleggedbeast

    OMG, Jaws is gone too!? I haven't been there for a couple of years so I didnt know...Thats retarted, all the original good rides are gone now

  • @Halo3jonny i was just there a month ago, they closed it on january 2nd. bummer, i hadnt been on it since 93'..

  • :( shouldn't of gotten rid of it. it rocked. now they have the stupid mummy ride.

  • @missaxbabii the muumy is way better than this

  • I loved this ride! I rode it back in the 90's when I was 5. It's a shame they took it away!

  • y did they have 2 replace this and jaws? They can't just have this and the mummy and jaws and whatever else ther gonna build?

  • Imagine being the worker on this ride...having to repeat those lines over and over and over again...every day...

  • Sucks that they don't have it anymore !

  • Thanks for posting...This was a decent ride. You could even smell bananas on Kong's breath.

  • I never went on it even though I had the chance :c

  • this looks friken cool!!!!!

  • so many fond memories

  • This, and Jaws ruined me as a kid....my sister told me it was real, and I believed her, lol....

    I'm determined to go back on these rides and not scream!! :)

  • @targetisfun well you'll have a job doing that because they're both closed now.

  • @cmchugh89 yeah, that stinks.

    I guess it's a good thing though! :)

  • I went on this ride when I was four!! LOL

  • I went on this ride in 1989. I was 5. I was traumatized. It still looks scary.

  • @blockmonsta200 Imagine the 5 year olds in the Holocaust..

    No, what you went through was way worse.

  • OMG i remember being on this ride 1998 !!!!!!

  • I went on this ride at about 5 years old and was freaked out sooo bad. It is still the oldest memory I have from an amusement park. Freakiest thing is, this vid was taken at about the time we would have gone, and the woman at 2:00 looks like my mother; I could have been on her lap...

  • @MissAthenaGirl

    When I was 5 I was to scared to go on it and well since I live in england and going to america is expensive I didnt go again untill years later and by then it was gon.

  • oh man i remember this. I was 12 the first time I got on it, I was sitting on one of the edge seats and during the ride I looked over and saw Kong's big angry mug right in my face. I think I was traumatized; watching this video nearly brought tears to my eyes.

  • i went on there on my first time i wasnt scared

  • I was so scared of this ride when I was a little kid

  • Why not demand it back. That looks like some amazing shit especially a actual giant Kong. That's cool!

  • i cant believe i was scared like a bitch when i was a kid seeing this

  • Seriously, I rode this when I was 13 with my eyes closed tight and fingers crammed in ears WHILE hiding underneath my moms arm. I don't know why but this ride scared the CRAP out of me. Haha.

  • If thsi one in FL was replaced, what replaced it? I forgot.

  • @chipmunkgirl213 revenge of the mummy first indoor rollercoaster

  • @issamemoi oh that ride is so much fun.

  • when i was small i almost fell down trying to touch it

  • That was cool...used to love this ride, it is based on the HORRIBLE 70s version of King Kong starring Jessica Lang & Jeff Bridges? If so, this NEEDED to go, that movie is a DISASTER and needs to be forgotten quick! Give me the '33 or '05 version any day!

  • thumbs up if you came here because of The Wizard.

  • @edenyam12 um this ride no longer exists. The newer 3d version of it took it's place. If you wanna ride King Kong 360 just get in the studio tours ride and ride it until eventually they show you the newer version. It's awesome

  • Mummy ride suckssssss i neva had the chance for fckin king kong

  • @jeffhardyfan123able LMAO Me Neither!! Mummy ride is cool but the King Kong ride looks just Incredible. Just because it got burned down in California why did It Have to be replaced in Florida?? Why couldn't FL keep the ride and California just rebuild King Kong?? That Sucks Ass I never been on King Kong b4 eitheer

  • It look scary... Are there scary? Please tell me... Cuz my cousin going this ride and me too but it koo scary... Tell me please someone?

  • @edenyam12 SPEAK ENGLISH MOTHER FUCKER

  • I know not why I used to be so scared of this ride. I used to be such a baby at 15 at times. I was not thinking of the work crew who had to ride this ride for hours in a row while on duty. That said, I miss this classic ride. I never went on Mummy, but while it might be ok, that won't stop us from missing this ride. Sure hope they never rid E.T.!

  • The first time I went to Florida I was 8, and that was in 2001. I don't really remember this ride, but I remember being absolutely terrified. I've been back 4 times since then, and as I watch this for the first time since I rode it, I thank Universal everytime I go that they put the Mummy ride there XD

    (I'm 18 and have a massive fear of anamatronic dummies; woe is me haha!)

  • nostalgic feeling, i sat on the edge.

  • @grimmjowrulez1991 what did they get rid of thats good?

  • you know they replaced king kong with the mummy Tip: In the treasure room theres a big whole in the cieling and it has king kong in it Thumbs up so everyone can see

  • Someone should record these videos in night vision. So we can see what we're missing. :/

  • I never got to go on this ride when I was little. I was to scared. D: But I went on the Mummy & I freakin' love that ride! :DD <3

  • Thank you sooooo much for posting this!!! I remember riding this right before they closed it down to put in The Mummy. The Mummy is nothing compared to Kongfrontation!!! This is one of my favorite memories of Universal Orlando!!! :)

  • the revenge of the mummy is soo awesome too you know

  • honestly the Mummy is much better than the king kong ride. just saying.

  • this is like the spiderman ride:D

    

  • Stills smells like banana ?

  • Yo king kong was playing ping pong with some chinese man's ding dong cause his name was ching chong. Feel free to comment on how corny this rap was

  • best ride ever i remember it was always hot from the frie i miss it bring it back :(

  • were there people on the ride when it caught on fire or were they just testing it

  • The fat lady is a bad actor she cant even do her job right lol

  • they didnt replace it, king kong was set on fire

  • @TheDeathMonkeyShow, fire was California, replaced in Florida, this was filmed in Orlando, Florida.

  • @hightowertr water?

  • @TheDeathMonkeyShow yea ur right

  • @TheDeathMonkeyShow will they rebuild?

    

  • in orlando the simpsons ride replaced the back to the future ride and the revenge of the mummy replaced this ride

  • i didn't even lik the king kong movie but i loved this ride. im still mad it's gone. the mummy ride is ok but...idk i just expected alot out of it and didn't get much....

  • Too bad I wasnt alive to be on the ride. Too bad it burned down, such a shame because it looks great!

  • @jennalaurieann same here. i never got to see king kong or Back To The Future.I was alive for BTTF But it closed in 2007....i went in 2009

  • @TitanicMasta I went on back to the future. It was a good ride. Men in Black replaced it, but Men in Black is an awesome ride.

  • @jennalaurieann I thought that simposons replaced that ride... hmm...

  • @StarGazerWithDinos No. Like I told TheDanielGriffiths, It was placed in an empty spot. Ask Me if you have questions about Universal. :)

  • @jennalaurieann I thought the simpsons ride replaced back to the future?

  • @TheDanielSGriffiths No. the Simpson's Ride was just placed in an empty spot in Universal Studios. It's a good ride. Try it out. :) Questions about Universal just ask me I go there every year ever since I was 4. Been on every ride. I know a lot about it. :)

  • @jennalaurieann ahh right, i was pretty sure the simpsons ride had gone there, and wikipedia says it did aswell, yeah i been about 7 times and its probably my favourite out of all the florida parks tbh :)

  • @jennalaurieann The MIB ride was placed where the BTTF train was set

  • @jennalaurieann you dumb as fuck

  • @TH3BEAST512 4 Your Information, Im only 9!

  • @TH3BEAST512 Don't speak that way when I'm only 9. Do you speak that language around kids? Cuz I'm a kid. & apparently ur a teenager.

  • @jennalaurieann actually yes i do.... why?

  • one of the best rides, its a shame that we cant go anymore

  • good ride in orlando...was 15 when i first rode it and liked it..was bummed when i returned later and the mummy had replaced it but the mummy ride is awesome so it evens out..

  • 3:10 "wait...wait!! i only want to ask if i have somethin in my teeth"

  • im going to hollywood i know it suck but i love kong king

  • Simpler times.

  • what happend to king kong ride

  • I LOVE THIS RIDE WITH A HUGE PASSION!!!!

  • wow that ride was really awesome. when i first rode it, i was too terrified to look around, i saw king kong and it was over i was like ok get me off please.

  • It was really funny back then when you could keep walking on King Kong with not a person in Sight..

  • yuoybf furrb

  • Half the people on that ride didn't seem to cake what the hell was going on!

  • This is really cool! I mean, they had to build a full city inside that sound stage, along with 2 of the biggest AAs I have ever seen. Not to mention the suspended tram cars.

    Now imagine of Expedition Everest had the yeti they were planned to have. It was at least twice as big as one of these.

  • is this better or worse than the mummy ride?

  • this ride scared me shitless when i was little

  • if you look up when you ride the mummy, you can see the king kong traks still there. no lie! swear to god!

  • Wish it was still there...

  • nostalgic

  • soy de argentina y exactamente el 15/02/01 estuve en Universal Studios Florida !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah, this ride was pretty amazing. I not only liked the ride but I also loved looking at the city universal created.

  • ITS GONE??!??? I LOVED THIS PART OF THE RIDE!! :'(

  • @vannakinz0 yeah i would love to ride it but i was 1 year old

  • @vannakinz0 A fire destroyed this ride years ago.

  • this ride was the shit 

  • @360mmspider it was better than hollywoood though.

  • @360mmspider I love it

  • I'm so mad they took this out, me and my dad wanted to ride this so bad

  • @ss6truks "They" is referring to the fire, correct?

  • Aww.. So it got destroyed.. Well, I went in Cali and it's so scareh...

  • aww i rode this when i was 4 and i totally luved now10 years later i find out its gone???!!!!!! i am gonna miss this ride 4evar!!!

  • i went on this ride when i was 3 and i got scared... well kind of lol.. i also remember the picture at the end of the ride with king kong

  • i dont know why the renamed earthquake to diaster cause earthquake made more sense diaster should be like hurricans or normal florida things or like cars blowing up make it a real diaster nto an earthquake or it shouldve stayed earthquake

  • It was removed because a man got so scared he jumped out if the ride so they removed it my aunt told me so yea that's y

  • Comment removed

  • OMG!!!I remember this ride i was like 3 and i held on to my dad and hid my face and cried the whole ride through I was never so scared in my life that was until i saw Mickey at Disney World when I was 5!!!

  • i was on the side so when the flames started i was like mh face my face

  • change is understandable, but does anyone feel that replacing king kong with the mummy ride was just stupid and in a sense biting the hand that feeds you? Lets face it, King Kong, and other classic films made Universal what it is, but still stuff like Back to the Future, and King Kong are being replaced by stuff that is more popular today. But, more popular does not mean it's better or anything. It's like smacking the past in face, even though the past is responsible for such a successful future

  • im so lucky i went on king kong and mummy it was sweet

  • I know it s removed

  • Was this replaced by E.T?

  • So this is in florida in what park. Island of adventure?

  • @Frickis it was removed. :(

  • There coming out with a new one but its 3D and just screens. They basically ruined the ride!

  • @FrancFurters thats for hollywood

  • actually i found out that spiderman ride replaced king kong cause king kong ride was bad!

  • holey shit wtf how did u get the passengers out of the fire! HOLEY SHIT ITS FIRE WTFFFFFF BOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMM

  • Never got to go on this :(

    Went in 2004 and the shop and photo stuff was still there, with a massive king kong thingy there..

  • this scared the ***** outa me!!!!

  • I miss this ride but mummy might be better

  • I S#@t my pants when I saw this as a kid! It inspired my great interest for king Kong, though. Its sad the LA one burned down. If I wasn't broke I would see the new ride.

  • the earthquake is gone for hollywood too ?

  • im sure that ride would SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME!

  • did they rebuild it? & why replace the mummy?

  • That ride got burnt down the day i was going to America! :(

  • OMG! They r remaking this ride! i miss this ride and now they r bringing it back! yay!

  • Its a shame this ride was destroyed. Before it was destroyed a few years before I tried to ride with my family, the ride ended up shutting down not even halfway through. So I never got to go completely through the ride. Its a shame, but Im glad I got to see finally what it was that I had missed.

  • i remmember this when i was like 11... lol 21 now

  • i loved the King Kong ride! But at least they didn't replace it with a crappy ride. The Mummy ride is awesome.

  • @amandawonderboy i went on the 3rd on 2011 january and they changed it now its like the simpsons ride just on both sides, very cool

  • @amandawonderboy are u talking about the tram ride

  • @amandawonderboy yes, but they made another king kong ride thats realy crappy compared to this...

  • oooo thats y ive never seen this ride! ive only seen the mummy ride. this ride loks awesome! i wish i was there to ride it!

  • there makin a new king kong ride!

  • i came on this ride but id care for it i hate monkeys gorillas and apes all sorts of monkeys they r stupid to me..

  • this ride was the best... thats all i have to say

    even tho i love the mummmy

  • aaaah i loved this, totally miss it. . . it was so authentic. . . the mummy is still pretty good tho.

  • i loved the E.T ride it was just like this but they replaced it with the mummy here in hollywood D:<

  • awww man i liki the ride

  • they need a godzilla ride

  • i definatley remember this ride.....it was so fun, mad they got rid of it

  • Islands of adventure is rollercoasters and universal is classic. I do remember king kong it was realy fun also I really like men in black it was fun I

  • what they could remake it into the peter jackson king kong the ride.

  • man I wish it was still there!!

  • lol around 3:06 you can hear some 1 scream

  • I miss this ride ;( but yeah, the Mummy is sick!!!!!!

  • they converted this ride into something called disaster movie, it's also fun but I wish they could have kept this ride :(

  • i never got a chance to ride this but i did ride the mummy ride

  • The King Kong looks fake

  • @Lekkerantisma it was made years ago... :S

  • We used to go here ALL THE TIME for summer parties at my grandfathers work and this was always my favorite when I was little.

  • this is what wmac masters called it doom city where black ninjas was it the battle zone

  • THIS RIDE LOOKS AMAZING! Sorry you feel bad about the mummy.

  • Wish I could ride this again. The last time I rode it I was 6 years old; also the last time I was at Universal Studios. That was in 1992. I need to go back! Also, everyone on this ride looks bored.

  • i remember riding this when i was like 5 lol

  • Unlike back to the future being removed this ride needed to be removed sooner. The mummy ride is actually one of my favs at universal. King kong ride really sucked it was so low quality and the live narrator we had sounded so gay its the only thing that made it fun. One good choice universal made but the must have let a fucking retard choose to remove back to the future. asshole. whats worse is its a dumbass simpsons ride its incredibly un-fun.

  • good ride....shame

  • There is two king kong ones, is this the one that is the tour ride or the one that king kong like grabs the bus or something,, or was I dreaming about that? lol

  • i reamber that ride that king kong thing sacred the shit out of me

  • When I went on it i was little and all i can remember was king kong in my face and fire.

  • The Mummy is way better this is like the new one they have called Twister.
