Expanded Attractions at Orlando Super Nintendo World
The Orlando version promises to expand on the concept with the inclusion of a Donkey Kong area from day one. The Donkey Kong Country expansion area was originally announced in December 2023, and will be having a promotional "Play Wild" event in the coming months.
The DK Country expansion from day-one is in line with the evolutionary trajectory of Super Nintendo World, which first opened its gates in Universal Studios Japan in March 2021, followed by Universal Studios Hollywood in February 2023. A future version is also planned for Universal Studios Singapore.

Fans eagerly await more details and updates as the 2025 opening approaches. Super Nintendo World in Orlando not only promises to be a haven for Nintendo fans but also a revolutionary step in theme park entertainment, merging interactive technology with Nintendo's immersive world.
