DK sounds perfect, like truly a fever dream. Makes me excited for the other rides they’re developing for other lands.

I'm gonna lose my mind when I ride DK for the first time. Truly a dream come true as both a Nintendo fan and a theme park fan. I'll be like that Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme.
On Monsters, are we not still thinking that the ride is going to be -- basically -- Forbidden Journey without the projections?
So if there aren't projections, and there weren't any animatronics, I don't see how the ride would even work. The characters have to be represented somehow.
That implies (to me) a healthy cast of AAs and figures.

There's no way there aren't any projections. Probably not as much as Forbidden Journey though.

My understanding was that there still might be projections, just none of the parabolic screen sequences like the ones on forbidden journey.
This. The absence of screen carousels does not mean we know for a fact there will not be screens.
It could be like Jurassic World Adventure rounded screen segments rather than domes that follow us, or even something new. We don’t know yet.

If the attraction has a similar screen/AA balance to JWA I think we’re in for a treat.
Again, it could be 100% practical for all we know. I don’t think anyone knows yet! We’re just guessing.That's what I get for getting my hopes up again!
Personally I’d love to see this as Universal’s version of the Haunted Mansion. Lots of opportunities for bigger show scenes than we see of FJ, more practical moments, but augmented by projections and special effects.
Rides are better with screens anyways. Just not as a focus.That's what I get for getting my hopes up again!
I’m all for augmenting. Expand backgrounds, put things outside of windows, project magical/supernatural elements onto physical sets, stuff like that.
I just would prefer that Universal avoid scenes where the ride vehicle is plunked down in front simulated elements.

I feel like the Monsters ride is going to be the love child of Forbidden Journey (ride vehicle), Gringotts (coaster track) and Haunted Mansion (practical effects, animatronics and spooks).

It's just best to go into all of this with a blank state of mind.

They’re good when they enhance the experience rather than being the relied crutch.
A user from Famiboards.com (a Nintendo forum) named MondoMega datamined the official Super Nintendo World app today after Alicia posted the breakdown video. This is what they found.
- Donkey Kong: Mine-Cart Madness is the name of the coaster
- Three minigames (Temple Team-Up, Monkey Mouth, Rambi's Congo Bongos
- You collect bananas. There's rewards for all attractions including the coaster
- Donkey Kong meet and greet
- There's puzzle pieces and K.O.N.G. letters throughout the land
- Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Rosalina are getting Powerup bands

I think it’s going to be less pure coaster than Hagrid’s and probably a little more dark ride
Guess that confirms three interactive games, including one that’s a team up like I said. Thanks for sharing.
