King Kong Land Update: Enclosing the Building

Work on the new (and still rumored) King Kong themed land continues at Islands of Adventure at an incredibly fast pace. Construction on the attraction's main building went vertical just a few weeks ago, but they are already in the process of enclosing the building. Of course, we still expect the attraction to open in 2016, as the ride system and theming elements still have to be installed; that said, Universal never ceases to amaze us. Let's take a look around:
