You really wouldn’t want a personal connection to the mine cart levels in Donkey Kong Country. What infuriating trial and error BS!

@Nitefly I feel like they got a lot more playable after DKC1.
I love the setting. It should be a really cool jungle and temple mix. I wonder if they manage to mix in / hide a construction site as this might be one of the most iconic video game screens ever. Even though that's just Donkey Kong and not Donkey Kong Country.

There's been public instruction not to take photographs of the site and the Japanese are obeying it - regardless here's the peak of the structure peeking out into the park;

I love how they've requested the public don't take pictures and they haven't? Imagine it in the UK? The place where every man and his dog has a roller coaster Facebook page posting the same content at the same time 
Really excited to see one of these finally materialise. For me, it's the outdoor sections more than anything. I want to see how they can convey the hidden track without giving it away. You can JUST see in the above photos that they're styling it like it's just giant tracks, which is cool.

Double post, apologies, piece of info was lost in the announcement but Universal Studios Hollywood has confirmed it to be named Minecart Madness as rumored.

Donkey Kong Country needs more time it seems and has been delayed to Late 2024. If it means ensuring that Minecart Madness can run without a hitch then I'm okay with that;
Heartbroken about this as i'm doing my only ever trip in early September.
Though my Japanese friend informs me it actually says "second half of 2024" so there's a sliver of hope.

Same here, I also have a trip planned at the beginning of September and I'm sad about this. Hopefully we'll be lucky and they'll open before September...

When are you going? Maybe see you there! I'm September 12th unless plans change. I think the worst thing will be if it opens a week later

We wanted to visit Universal on September 3rd and 4th, although we'll stay in Japan until the 14th...When are you going? Maybe see you there! I'm September 12th unless plans change. I think the worst thing will be if it opens a week later
Well, let's see if they announce the opening date soon, and if it's not open then, it will be a good excuse to come back.
