We Made a Giant Kong Animatronic!

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes of the creation of Kong, a massive animatronic gorilla head standing approximately 11 feet tall when fully raised. The prop features a hand-sculpted latex-and-foam construction over a heavy-duty metal armature, with pneumatic mechanics animating the mouth, head rotation, and independently moving eyes and eyelids. Sculpted by company founder Ed Edmunds, Kong ships as a turnkey package that includes a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning effects. The result is a professional-grade, classic-monster centerpiece suited for haunted attractions, theme parks, and high-end home haunts.
