Universal Orlando has revealed the first look at Skull Island: Reign of Kong ride vehicles.

Universal has released the following diagram of the ride vehicle’s specifics.


The biggest news is a trackless ride system. The 40-foot vehicles will drive themselves through two different courses depending on the weather. Since the attraction loops outside, this is a must for the Florida weather.

We also have learned that there will be 5 different guides. Each guide will have their own story to tell about Skull Island and the legends within. This gives most guests a different experience each time they ride.

  • Becky (a cowgirl)
  • Will Denham (adventurous cousin of a movie director)
  • Jinks Costanza (ex-con from New York City)
  • Kalana (descendant of the island’s natives)
  • Doc (paleontology student)

Universal says the ride transports guests to the home base of Kong and an array of other creatures. The character descriptions hint towards Dinosaurs and Natives. But who knows what else we can expect?

The ride opens next month, we should have a few more details to share before then.
