Kong Studios opens its doors again after 2 year investigation
Kong Studios today opened its doors to the public for the first time since October 30th 2002. Visitors to the the official website from around 12:20pm GMT today (slightly later than advertised) were able to access a flash version of the Gorillaz recording studios. The layout was the same as the old flash site but all the rooms had new content and many looked completely different. The Bowlatron and the Shooting Gallery, along with the Helicopter game, are retained from the G.R.3.G. version of the site. In addition there is a whole new huge 'bunker' area accessed from a hole in the wall in the car park of the studios, leading down to a 'hell hole'.
A low-quality recording of a new Gorillaz track 'Mr.Softy's Balloon Race', accessed by playing the record in Russel's room.
