Daily Billboard captured this fantastic King Kong 3D ride billboard in two locations, along South La Brea Avenue near West 6th Street and along L.A.'s infamous Sunset Strip at the top of La Cienega Boulevard on June 14, 2011.

The billboard installation is a real eye-catcher, made even more so by the two mannequins dangling from the tram and casting shadows over the rest of the billboard - now that's 3D.
