What to Expect From the Donkey Kong Country Expansion

Much like the original Super Mario-themed area that captivated visitors during it's launch, the Donkey Kong Country expansion will launch with new rides and merchandise.

Donkey Kong 'Power Up' Bands

The Donkey Kong-themed world is set to revolutionize the park experience through the integration of wearable 'Power Up Bands' paired with a cutting-edge app. Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong 'Power-Up' bands were introduced during the announcement.

Donkey Kong Roller Coaster

At the heart of the Donkey Kong Country expansion lies the pièce de résistance – a roller coaster inspired by the iconic mine cart rides featured in the Donkey Kong games. The roller coaster promises an exhilarating adventure, with elevated sections creating a visual spectacle that simulates the thrill of jumping across gaps, a nod to the beloved in-game experience.
