A new theme park experience called “Super Nintendo World” is set to open at Universal Orlando Resort next year, allowing video game fans to step inside the worlds of Super Mario and Donkey Kong. This Nintendo experience will be part of the planned Universal Epic Universe, the fourth theme park at the resort, where visitors can interact with their favorite characters and take part in various challenges to bring the game world into the real world. In “Super Mario Land,” players can punch blocks, collect coins, find hidden elements, and track their progress against other guests in the park.
During the unveiling of details for “Super Nintendo World,” visitors were given a glimpse of what to expect through artist renderings and a splashy video. The goal was to create iconic worlds that deeply connect with fans and provide a fully immersive experience. Within the lush jungle of “Donkey Kong Country,” guests can board a “runaway” mine cart on a family coaster that appears to jump the track, adding an element of excitement and adventure to the theme park experience. The idea behind the park is to engage visitors in a way that makes them feel engulfed and immersed in the world of Nintendo.
In addition to “Super Nintendo World,” Universal has plans for other attractions at the Epic Universe including “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic,” “Dark Universe,” “Celestial Park,” and “How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk.” These themed areas will offer guests a wide range of immersive experiences, from exploring the magical world of Harry Potter to riding coasters in the dark universe. The goal is to create unique and engaging experiences that will appeal to a diverse range of guests, from video game fans to fans of popular book and movie franchises.
The collaboration between Universal and Nintendo aims to bring beloved video game characters and worlds to life in a theme park setting, allowing fans to interact with their favorite characters in ways they never thought possible. The partnership with Nintendo of America, a subsidiary of the Japanese gaming giant, has allowed Universal to create unique and engaging attractions that will appeal to a wide range of guests. By melding the game world into the real world, visitors can enjoy a fully immersive and interactive experience that will transport them into the worlds of Super Mario and Donkey Kong in ways they have never experienced before.
With the opening of “Super Nintendo World” at Universal Orlando Resort, visitors will have the opportunity to explore iconic game worlds and immerse themselves in the adventures of Super Mario and Donkey Kong. The addition of this Nintendo experience to the Universal Epic Universe promises to create a unique and engaging theme park experience that will delight fans of all ages. By offering interactive challenges, family-friendly coasters, and immersive environments, Universal is aiming to provide guests with a truly unforgettable and magical experience that will transport them into the world of Nintendo like never before.
