Seems like a fire has broken out at the Universal Backlot. According to screamscape the King Kong set, and the Back to the Future sets have been lost!

That's one big fire, too bad some special things were already lost..
But they are well insured, so hopefully they can built something even better in place.

Dang son, I was just on that ride last week. Bummer, that ride will never get old.

They will probably have all that area built up again by next weekend. With all the money/ television shows that are filmed there, it will be built back up very quickly. Im just curious that if they improve the King Kong building or keep it the same as before.

King Kong will not be built again. Probably a good thing, get something fresh and exciting in there. King Kong was cool, but meh, he can live in Florida.

^^ It's natural for humans to see faces in everything, same happened with 9/11.
