Do we think we’ll see real trees in DKC, or will they all be like the plastic-y trees in the Mushroom Kingdom area?

 

[ParkExplorer9513]

If anything, the trees will look at least a little more convincing in the DK land. :P

2024?

interesting year

Hopefully faux to hide some stuff initially, but some real trees mixed in would be nice

Most of the show building is complete.

I think the show building will house the load/unload, some queue, and on the second level one show scene.

Anyway, I'm taking a bet this is opening in 2024 because they're doing fabrication for this and EU at the same time and the themed elements won't be ready till then.

That and the fact that the land has yet to properly see its expected attendance.

Or, and I know this may hurt to hear, what if Universal can also artificially prolong construction to stretch building costs over multiple years .

Also known as 'Doing a Disney'
Lets hope they have enough of a soul not to do that

Would only make sense for this land to have stuff like this....... but great to see some sort of confirm!

This was my least favorite game on Squid Games

Don't think this has been posted before but this is the best (all be in blurry) view I have seen of DK construction - from March 22.

and we now also have the main show building structure visible from within the park:

How long is the Donkey Kong Coaster experience going to be? Not seeing much space unless I'm missing something?

It probably will move slow and have some animatronics/figures in indoor segments. It’s not quite a regular roller coaster, not a dark ride. Kinda in between.

Would you say something similar to Gringotts?

I understand this is supposed to be a family coaster, but this sounds pretty underwhelming. It sounds like it would be on Hippogriff level of "thrills".

Bunch of caves, AAs, then the big finally where you shoot out the barrel and do the lap outside. Sounds solid D ticket to me.
