New concept art has been released for the Donkey Kong roller coaster coming to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan and the upcoming Universal’s Epic Universe park in Florida.
Currently, a gateway to the expansion is already in place underneath Yoshi’s Adventure in Japan, with construction underway behind it. In addition to a family roller coaster featuring characters from the Donkey Kong games, it’s expected to be home to a character meet-and-greet, interactive games, snack stands, and a small shop.
The ride, rumored to be named “Mine Cart Madness,” will be the centerpiece of the mini land. As the name suggests, guests will ride around in mine carts, just like in the games. According to patents filed by Universal for the “Boom Coaster,” while the carts will appear to run along an old track, they actually run on a rail underneath, allowing carts to jump over gaps in the “track.”
You can see a wider shot of the area in the previously released concept art for Universal Studios Japan.
