* TroubledProduction: Universal reportedly had a lot of technical issues with getting the attraction's trackless dark ride system to work reliably. Their experience making this ride is believed to be a factor in their reluctance to make future trackless rides: Both the currently unnamed ''Minions'' walk-on ride and ''Ride/TheSecretLifeOfPetsOffTheLeash'' were first planned as trackless rides, and the ''[[Ride/TheWizardingWorldOfHarryPotter Wizarding World]]'' attraction currently planned for Epic Universe had a trackless iteration of it cancelled at one point.

** Another proposal that actually came very close to fruition was having the ride be a replacement for ''Ride/{{Disaster}}'', but was dropped as Universal Creative wanted the ride to be more ambitious.

** Another proposal that actually came very close to fruition was having the ride be a replacement for ''Ride/{{Disaster}}'', but was dropped as Universal Creative wanted the ride to be more ambitious. Ironically, Disaster's replacement turned out to be [[Ride/FastAndFuriousSupercharged extremely similar to Reign of Kong]], using almost identical ride vehicles and motion simulator effects.

* DevelopmentHell: The idea for the attraction had been floating around ever since the 2005 film had come out. It went through many different proposals (see below) before finally getting approved.

* ReleaseDateChange[=/=]TooSoon: The ride was originally intended to open on June 23rd, but was pushed back to July 13th in the aftermath of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
* SequelGap: The ride opened nearly 14 years after ''Ride/{{Kongfrontation}}'' closed.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The earliest proposal was to have the ride be located in the area that ''Ride/HarryPotterAndTheForbiddenJourney'' now occupies.
** Another proposal that actually came very close to fruition was having the ride be a replacement for ''Ride/{{Disaster}}'', but was dropped as Universal Creative wanted the ride to be more ambitious.
** The ride was meant to have live actors driving the vehicles, and at one point an animatronic Spider-Claw ''would grab them and pull them out of the vehicle''. This was abandoned due to a mixture of safety issues and budget.
