Super Nintendo World (Osaka) - Donkey Kong Expansion Thread

The Kong statues at the back of the temple and the balloon barrel have to be additional minigames right?

Apologies I see what you are referencing now. Yeah, those look like mini games.

Looks like rumors about some of the ride characters were correct.

Kind of surprised there's still not a date for this. Wonder if we're going to be pushing summer.

With the aerial shots showing not much needing to be worked, I'm hoping that's not the case.

 

[T2Mum]

Given tickets are released two months ahead (including ride specific express passes), can we expect two months notice of the opening date? If so, to make a Spring opening date, won't the announcement need to be made in the next week?

No, like seriously, what's going on.

I am starting to question whether they update the opening season to summer at this rate.

Going to chime in and say that the park does have an opening date, both for advance invitations and for the general public.

Advance invitations will happen on May 13th to May 24th.

The opening date is either going to be May 27th or the 28th.

Found all of the information on this on this Tweet from @usj1 on Twitter weeks ago:

Like the tweet says that’s the “expected” opening dates, and things can change. Especially if the ride isn’t ready.

Looks like DKC has been delayed.

The USJ app and website are now showing me "2024" for the opening time-frame for this expansion rather than "spring 2024" as it was previously.

 

[quinnmac000]

the invitations for those who did the play japan challenge who are allowed early entry are next month....

Hopefully, the "delay" is to like, late June, where it would classify as the Summer season and not to a far off date like October or November.

Donkey Kong has been postponed to the 2nd half of the year,, no earlier than late july (for grand opening)

Issues with ride electrical system if what I have heard is still accurate

Well...seems like fate has saw my message about not wanting DKC to be delayed for several months and made it (possibly, if the park opens in late-July) into a reality. Disappointmenting? Yes, it is. At least, Universal Creative can use some extra time to fix out the kinks in the ride's electrical system before doing the grand opening for it.

Donkey Kong Country has been officially delayed to Late 2024.

Donkey Kong Country, which was previously scheduled to open in spring 2024, has been changed to late 2024.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to those who have been waiting. We will announce the opening date and other details as soon as they are decided.

I was hoping Tom would be wrong on that.

 

[Freak]

At this rate DK will probably open at the same time as Epic's does.
