All of the times where the car goes « off-road » is such a genius idea and if it’s well executed and believable, this will be a MAJOR hit

If they can make it reliable, that's my biggest concern

[@Mario87456]

Even as a kid I wished there was a roller coaster that could jump off the tracks and land back down on them again. It’s cool how they are finally making this idea possible in a way that’s safe.

[@larrybelfaccino3877]

Such a cool reference to the dk country series, in which you need to jump into other rails

[@nickk3077]

They are representing so much Donkey Kong Country and we still haven’t gotten a true Donkey Kong game since 2014!

[@OfficialSapphirePhoenix]

Maybe the land and merch sales will indicate a feel for a want of a new DK game. It would be nice

[@marsdust332]

Tropical Freeze was perfect though. More than twice as many people bought it on Switch (4.6+ million) compared to the Wii U (2 million). But I agree, it's time for a new one.

[@andyvalencia4578]

Would love a fourth entry game to the original series where K. Rool was the villain.

[@rachidow2125]

The rumor is that the team behind Mario Odysee is creating a new Donkey Kong title. Not sure if this true, but I’am sure we get a new title. Also, this give me hope.

If they get that optical illusion right, this could be truly, utterly mind blowing.

I think what would complete the experience is onboard audio that has it's own rattly track sounds that would cut out when you're 'jumping'.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

This looks like everything I want from a Donkey Kong Country mine cart coaster, provided that the final product will match the concept!

[@elliegallagher676]

Amazing work on this! Can only imagine the amount of 3D modeling work it took to create completely custom track, scenery, and especially the coaster train. Would love to ride this one day!

[@erquickend8678]

Can't stop smiling. This "illusional" coaster will change the industry.

If the track jumping effect is done well and convincing, this would be awesome. I'm a fan of DKC so this is so exciting to me!

[@THE-ĞÖŘÏŁŁĄ-HAMSTER]

This one ride will beat almost all Disney rides

[@ThemeParkPassion]

Fantastic recreation! This video really sold me on the jumping concept! Amazing job!

[@sigma_sam69]

The ride seems short, but maybe there will be more than we expect, also there will be indoor scenes with animatronics so it could stop or slow down, but this is just a guess

[@devdoesitbest6974]

this is so cool but I wish they added something that would tilt the car every time you jumped to make it more game accurate. think like the secondary track on X2 to make the cars flip

It is good to know that some parks still have imaginative ideas.

[@BradleyDeLuca]

If they add a motion simulator base to this to add a rattle when you land from a jump, this would be a great coaster. And maybe a little shake whenever your on the track as its supposed to be rickety.

I couldn’t agree more‼️‼️‼️‼️ When my family and I go down to CA to visit family and friends, we always make time for Universal 🌎 Studios 🎥 Hollywood 🎬. We DEFINITELY would not say no to a Donkey Kong Country there. But… Yeah… Disney is not exactly in our good graces right now…🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

[@shoobamocha]

People still spend wayyy too much on Disney parks vacations and probably always will. I doubt the execs care too much, they'll continue raising prices for their devoted consumer base.

[@DotHimUp_Shorts]

theres a reason. my family likes disney better becuase of what they like. i like coasaters and trill. my family does not. they like shows and a joyful place.(excuse my spelling)@@shoobamocha

[@coastarider]

This could either be amazing, or be the next rip ride rockit with all its mid-courses

Great job as always. I wonder how the pacing will be as 10 trains will need a lot of block breaks!

[@AmusementInsider]

A moving station with a bunch of cars loading at once will be pretty neat to see.

[@austinbarnes4211]

There's only one word to describe this ride, Mind-Blowing!!!!!

[@evanbailey877]

this is so freaking cool… BUT… is anyone else worried this is going to be a capacity nightmare?!

[@ducktails1695]

They can have at least 40 guests on the track at once. (10 cars with 4 guests per car). It's a fairly short ride. Really cool, but on the shorter side which is fine for a family style coaster. I think capacity will be fine. It may not be like VelociCoaster or Hagrid's capacity but I don't see it being as bad as some are making it out to be.

[@skunkman9815]

That DK roller coaster looks fun I can’t wait to see what it looks like in epic universe

[@austinator9150]

This reminds me of Thrillville Off the Rails. I love that video game.

[@adamdurbin6895]

This is gonna be awesome. I can't wait for Epic Universe to open next summer

[@mizufood]

something I feel they should add is like the support actually moves up every jump from the track to give it a more realistic feel. As well some rattling sounds when you jump and land on the track

[@Dalas0130]

This was my favorite ride from the park. It’s very innovative and very tame

[@MrSnoomun1983]

If they can make the car bounce when you jump and make it feel like you're actually rolling on the mine cart track with the sound effects from the game that would be epic. otherwise you're just floating and it will all seem fake.

[@kaleb7636]

Nah it;ll definitely feel real, and ofc they'll add sound effects. Would be cool if they added vibration in the carts on every jump

[@kangameranime2097]

That is incredibly interesting and mind blowing. I really want to ride that.

[@dandicristina1389]

This ride is going to be epic I can not wait for it to come to epic universe Orlando

[@t_cheating8239]

This look great. Can't wait till Epic Universe opens up.

[@yaoikiss58]

I honestly can’t wait for them to build this ride in Florida

[@someguy42093]

They have to make sure it works in Japan first. Which it likely won’t. That hagrid rides breaks down constantly. Which is why it hasn’t been built anywhere else. This will be no different.

[@pupitbackster]

The thing to make the jumps and landings more believable would be a slight jolt as it hits back down on the tracks. Not so much to be uncomfortable, but like another effect to trick the brain that you came off the track and landed back on. Could even be done through vibration or sound on the train

[@Josh_Lee_Henderson]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@BrynneC]

Like the haptic ‘button’ press feedback on a phone

[@DDavEE]

It would be cool if the cart has hydraulics to add to the jumping tracks effect to make it look and feel real.

[@someguy42093]

This will break down CONSTANTLY. Just like the hagrid ride.

[@overbanked]

Thrillville came to life!

[@jaypaidincash]

If they wanted to make it realistic..they would make the arm "extend upwards" every time a jump is made..to give the feel of an actual "jump" and add actual sound and different feel every time. Otherwise it will only be a visual effect and too smooth every time the car is supposed to "jump"

[@iliketurtules6228]

If you get back row you just cry on the inside😂

[@BlargnCheese]

A 1 minute ride time is alarming.

[@TeslaCessnaMatt]

Definitely looks like it will be great if you are in the front row. I wonder how well you'll be able to see the effects from the back row? I'd guess not nearly as well, which would greatly diminish the experience if that's the case.

[@brainmeat2330]

this might be one of the coolest family rides ever made

[@crashcoaster3852]

What dispatch interval can you achieve? Cause the throughput of this is kinda a concern.

[@nolanweston5439]

Time to start saving

[@mr_shark69]

The capacity will be hell for this park

[@therealventures]

It will be interesting to see. They also have room for expansions down the line.

[@jaykay1899]

I trust that they know what they’re doing. Especially with the individual separate lands and rumors about using virtual queue systems similar to what they use at the universal water park. There’s a chance this might not be like any other theme park in the world currently

[@sdboutet]

Yes, I agree. It looks like the carts hold maybe 8, max. Maybe there are multiple tracks.

[@acidalex420]

That is actually incredible.

[@jeremyturner5592]

It may be minor, but I really hope to hear that hammer-on-anvil sound every time the cart lands on the track.

[@MichaelAKaras]

In the indoor section, they should do everything they can to light the "fake track" while keeping the real track completely cloaked in darkness. People who don't quite understand what is happening will have their minds BLOWN.

[@mr2fresh_jay]
