One media outlet billed it as the miners versus King Kong.
The seemingly invincible 33 miners from Chile and five of their rescuers toured the Universal Studios theme park on Friday, and they were entertained with a tram ride through a tunnel featuring a lifelike 3-D clash with King Kong and Tyrannosaurus rex.
"One more time! One more time!" the miners, the rescuers and their relatives chanted after the short movie feature concluded. The earthshaking simulator -- rocking the tram as if it were under attack by the beasts of the "King Kong"' film -- didn't scare the miners, who were trapped 69 days after their gold and copper mine collapsed in August.
"Why not," the tram driver said. "Let's do it again."
So it went. The miners of Chile -- who survived the longest mine entrapment in history -- had their way again, along with their relatives and the five rescuers. Helicopters and other TV news crews continued to follow them.
The miners, rescuers and relatives are in Los Angeles this week for their first group tour to the United States since being freed last month.
