2/7/2015 Kongstruction: Project 340 Picture Update

Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm happy to say I'm here with a picture update sent to us by some friends touring Islands of Adventure and Universal on vacation. The pictures depict the continued progress on Project 340/King Kong attraction that is coming to Universal's Islands of Adventure. It's impressive to see how far along the facade is already, as the crews prepare to start the facade's rockwork.

All pictures were taken from Pteradon Fliers, as you can see from the vehicle in the pictures.

 The interesting thing in the picture below is the random structure near the center right. It went up a few weeks ago, though I'm not sure what it's for. Might be part of the exit.

As always, stay tuned to @Parkscope for more updates.

UOR Permit Update: Project 664 and Kong

Big news from the world of permits today, as a few new additions were put up on the Orange Country Comptroller site. Today we have NoCs for work on the King Kong show building as well as for a new mystery project, "Project 664". Our sources had indicated to us weeks ago that project 664 was to be UOR's fifth hotel. The NoC backs that up, as there are mutiple call outs to "Site D" in it, which is the plot of land between Royal Pacific and Cabana Bay. The NoC is also attributed to the Universal City Hotel venture, another giveaway. As always, stay tuned to Parkscope for more updates.

Project 340, as we all know, is widely believed to be a new King Kong attraction for Islands of Adventure. As always, stay tuned to Parkscope for more updates.
