Everything in life is made better when Godzilla is involved—and if King Kong wants to tag along, well, the more the merrier. That includes theme-park rides, and the only bummer we have to report about Kong x Godzilla: The Ride is that you’ll need to find yourself in Seoul, South Korea, to check it out. A press release describes it as a “multimedia dark ride,” as well as “the world’s first attraction to integrate Legendary’s Monsterverse into a fully immersive theme park experience,” and it’s joining Lotte World Adventure‘s slate of attractions starting July 24. Here’s an effects-heavy trailer setting the mood but not giving too much actual insight into what to expect. The ride is set within the Hollow Earth, and despite our excitement about all things Godzilla, Kong is really the main character here—that’s why he’s listed first in the ride’s name, flipping the standard of the Godzilla x Kong movies.
“Set in the vast subterranean realm of Hollow Earth, the birthplace of the Titans, Kong x Godzilla: The Ride delivers an experience of breathtaking scale and immersive world-creation,” the press release explains. “On this thrilling new adventure, riders will board Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles (‘HEAVs’), the advanced exploration craft used by MONARCH, the secret human organization at the heart of Legendary’s Monsterverse. The attraction features two interconnected eight-passenger ride vehicles that transport guests on an approximately 11-minute adventure through Hollow Earth. Along the way, massive media screens, towering animatronics, dynamic ride motion, and immersive special effects combine to deliver a thrilling, cinematic experience unlike any other.”
