Back in 2002 Universal Studios Hollywood had the idea to have a Christmas themed event and did up a number of their attractions with a holiday overlay. One of those attractions was the King Kong attraction that was destroyed in the backlot fire today.
LaughingPlace.com dug through their vaults and found a video from 2002 of the Santa Kong attraction and have graciously allowed us to embed it for y’all to enjoy.
Anyone remember how long this version ran? Or was it just the one year?
I’m pretty sure they only used this overlay the one year. I was actually a bit disappointed that they didn’t bring it back the next year as I thought it was one of the funniest things I had seen at a theme park in recent memory…
that was one of, if not THE worst holiday lay-overs at any park, ever!
Yeah, but you have to admire them for their attempt at kitsch
I don’t think it was shown the next year, either. BTW, there was a Christmas parade that same year as well. It was not good. The best part was when one of the Marx Brothers (I think it was Chico) saw the look on our face as we were watching and said “Were you expecting something more?”
