[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Universal Studios Singapore is the smallest of the Universal parks so it makes sense they won’t be getting the coaster as they just don’t have room. The park is attached to a casino hotel called Resorts World Sentosa, and Sentosa is a narrow island filled to the brim with tourist attractions. Sentosa is Singapore’s way of making more money besides ship trade. That aside, I’m glad the one at Epic Universe is not only similar to Japan’s but is also the largest, they know they have to go all out if they want the name Epic Universe to be accurate. And makes sense to change some of the names as of course, not all the characters have the same name in English

[@josephmorris7447]

I had a realization the other day that Universal has a previous relationship with Nintendo going back at least to 1989. "The Wizard" starring Fred Savage is basically one big commercial for Nintendo, specifically Super Mario 3. The movie is produced and distributed by Universal and in fact some of the scenes are filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood. It all makes sense now.

[@ThemeParkStop]

Best movie!

[@Angie2343]

Agreed. It even has an Aspie as a MAIN CHARACTER.

[@macuser7048]

Wonder if that was why Pixar couldn't get the rights to use Mario and Donkey Kong in Wreck it Ralph despite being able to use Bowser? lol

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

Kinda jealous of Orlando’s version, the one in Hollywood feels incomplete

[@FTChomp9980]

There is reason why Walt Disney World is better then Disneyland. Same reason why Universal Studios plus Island of Adventures because it has more rides then Universal Studios in California. Florida just has better parks in my opinion.

[@Emplordxiii]

6:10 Fun fact the name of the DK roller coaster, Mine Cart Madness is a reference to 5-5 from Donkey Kong country which had the same name.

[@Mitchellfamily7814]

was waiting for this video!

[@ottot3221]

It's a decent amount of extra space that is probably much needed. Also there is a decent amount of space under Peaches castle. A meet and greet, a stage show area and or extra games would all be amazing additions. I was hoping Yoshi's Adventure would have been a bit longer and maybe, if the walkway towards Kong is a bit wider we get some extra tracks. I also expect the pipe to be much more of an attraction than in pervious iterations.

[@SalivatingSteve]

I think everyone needs to keep their expectations in check with the Mario Kart ride. The reality is it’s a relatively slow moving shooter dark ride for kids, but I think the people expecting something more like Carsland RSR will be disappointed. On the other hand, they now have a 3D shooter ride. I plan to go after it opens next month, but I’m skeptical about how well the AR goggles work in reality. It’s easy to get motion sickness with VR if the frame-rate is too low.

[@kellylingro3288]

I'm so excited for this whole park

[@WhaleyWorks]

I love all of this. Let's establish that before I proceed. Am I the only one who thought that the Mario Kart ride was going to be as fast as the gameplay? It just seems like a fancier version of the Yoshi ride.

Man, I can't wait for this park to open. It's going to be a madhouse when it does. I have annual passes for USF/IOA and was at IOA on a Saturday in mid October and it was just wall to wall people. Everything was over an hour wait. Even the food lines!! We wasted way too much time (and money) to eat mediocre pizza too! My kid went on the Doctor Doom drop tower and that was it. After that we just walked around the park for about an hour and left. It was complete mayhem.

[@LChatmanFL]

I am starting to get a little worried about crowd size. I am hearing EVERYONE wants to come to this park when it opens. And if it lives up to the hype the demand will remain high. An overcrowded park will ruin initial impressions from guests. Volcano Bay is still recovering from the 1st yr bad reviews because of Tapu tapu, but now nearly everyone loves it because the bugs have been worked out & people really understand it.

[@alextheshark1]

Suffering from success

[@LChatmanFL]

@@alextheshark1 this is why I suspect there will be "some" kind of reservation system in the 1st yr. Maybe like Discovery Cove... no annual passes, just day pass or multi day passes. I really hope they gets it right. Can you imagine waiting 2 hrs for a table service restaurant?

[@LChatmanFL]

@@graffiti.777 Interesting... so do u think we will pay for an all-access like ticket and then reserve the lands or will we pay per land and be guarantee admission?

[@LChatmanFL]

Also I did hear a rumor they may bring tapu tapu like system to EU. Meaning you can reserve ride times while doing other stuff in the parks. Originally tapu was supposed to be a larger deployment after Volcano Bay but I think UO got scared after the 1st yr. Same thing with the ride reservation system they used for Jimmy Fallon and Camp Jurassic for the flyers. Maybe just a virtual queue like they have for Hagrids.

Plans already call for a meet and greet area near there, themed to Donkey Kong’s treehouse.

[@PGGeaRR]

I fear that it will be similar to what diagon alley still deals with. So many crowds and people who are in the land just standing and taking pictures. I hope there is enough space to move. Hopefully with so many lands opening, one won’t be much more crowded

[@JsYTA]

With some of the rumors we've heard over safety, I'm worried the DK coaster will be slower than most roller coasters but I hope the spectacle and threat of the jumps compensates for that.

[@ThemeParkStop]

It'll be a "family" level coaster, but the special moves, jumps and dark ride elements will add an extra level of thrill to make it feel more exciting for sure.

[@Emplordxiii]

My big issue for safety is that in typical Universal fashion, the restraints will be the awful rollercoaster restraints that will limit heavier set body types from riding them…including the slow moving ones.

[@skyeleopard23]

This! Like I really hope they at least improve or change the technology they are using otherwise it's gonna be way behind and boring by the time we get ours built in 2025, like it still looks like an amazing ride but you'd also think they'd learn from public reviews and improve the ride at each park over time instead of keeping them all the same as the original with no updates.

Yea, I think play area makes sense. I only mentioned it because it’s marked on some early site plans as “future expansion”. Although, for all we know it could be space used later to create a bridge connection to the large expansion plot on the other side of the access road later if that land is also related to Nintendo.
