While Disney is making very few actual announcements, Universal Orlando is quickly building their new Epic Universe theme park. One of the highly anticipated additions to Universal Orlando is the Super Nintendo World, which will include Donkey Kong too.
Now @bioreconstruct has posted some new aerial images of the Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong-themed areas coming in 2025.

You seemingly will need to use an escalator to enter this land.

Aerial look at some of the broken, mock, railroad track of the Donkey Kong mine car roller coaster. The actual track is sideways underneath.
Much more theming to be in this area, adding to the illusion the car is leaping over gaps. pic.twitter.com/E3hqFixOh6— bioreconstruct (@bioreconstruct) September 16, 2023

Everything is progressing well. I’m very intrigued by the escalator into the raised area. It’s kind of exciting. The varying levels add depth.
