Today, we are going to head over to Universal Orlando to take a look at where the construction is over there. One of the most highly anticipated additions coming to Epic Universe is the Florida version of Super Nintendo Land. Unlike the one in Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Orlando will also have a Donkey Kong area.
Thanks to @bioreconstruct on X, we have a look at the current construction status.
Here is the status of the Mushroom Kingdom.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished Donkey Kong land in Japan when it opens this spring.

This is what the Mine Cart Madness attraction ride system will be like.
The new DK ride is gonna be insane!
