[1] The show began as the tour tram entered the soundstage into a world of New York City where they stopped in front of an apartment building facade.

As the tram rounded a corner, it drove out onto the Brooklyn Bridge, putting guests at eye-level with the giant animatronic ape.

[3] The attraction opened on June 14, 1986, with the un-dubbed voice of actress Sheree J. Wilson as Kelly King in the news footage.

MacNeille's dubbing was praised for giving the character a more suitable and intense tone, and helped to improve the overall quality of the attraction.

This had caused outrage among fans of the giant ape, which prompted Universal's decision to bring Kong back to the tour in the form of an all new 3D film experience.
