Going to set this up as this feels like a good idea to do so (and to allow SNW discussion to be on what is incoming), but: The Wrap is hearing that Super Nintendo World for Universal Studios Hollywood is seemingly getting a rendition of Donkey Kong Country.
From the understanding of The Wrap's Drew Taylor (who broke out the confirmation of Universal Monsters at EU during the article they published of the UC Executive Departures), Donkey Kong Country may be potentially aiming to be alongside that of the Epic Universe's rendition. This goes back to October, when he and Jim Hill spoke on Donkey Kong Country, and the information there is the same as yesterday.
But fear not – we’ve been hearing that Universal Studios Hollywood is already looking at an expansion for Super Nintendo World and a spot has already been carved out for a Donkey Kong-themed area that will include dining and retail opportunities plus a brand-new coaster. (The land will open in Japan in 2024.)
From what we understand, the Donkey Kong coaster could open alongside its East Coast counterpart when Epic Universe is finally unveiled in 2025. (It’d be nice to have more Kong in California.) Corfino was tight-lipped about the possible expansion.
