Kongfrontation On A Major Scale! Kongfrontation, Tooth And Nail!: I fondly recall Universal Studio's Kongfrontation, the ultimate theme park ride if you love Giant Monster movies. It really felt like you were in the midst of a rampage, especially when Kong shook the tram with the helicopter overhead and the fires blazing. My too-cool-for-everything little brother screamed the whole time like effin' Fay Wray, and for years my mom ribbed him about it. That movie "The Wizard" had its daring kid heroes outrun a private investigator by jumping off the tram and skittering around inside the building facades, which had I been a bolder kid I would've tried. I still have my souvenir Kong canteen, for the record.

Legendary Disney Imagineer Bob Gurr shows off stuff he's kept from working on the old King Kong animatronic at Universal Studios Hollywood including a giant melty severed Kong hand left over from the mold testing process.
