A familiar shape has appeared at Islands of Adventure as Universal Orlando steadily moves forward with construction on Skull Island: Reign of Kong.
The new “King Kong” ride is set to open next year, so there’s still a long way to go before it’s ready for guests to enter. But those passing through the theme park near the Jurassic Park area can now definitely get a sense of what’s to come, not only with some ominous sculptures, but also the big ape’s face appearing in the rock work.
Take a look at how Skull Island: Reign of Kong is coming together in the video and photos below:

Skull Island: Reign of Kong is scheduled to open in summer 2016.
