"Nintendo World's Donkey Kong Coaster: Thrilling Game-Accurate Jumps and Broken Tracks"

TL;DR Summary
Universal Studios Japan's Super Nintendo World is set to open a new Donkey Kong-themed roller coaster that simulates the mine-cart action from the video game, complete with jumps onto different rails. The coaster, based on patented "Boom Coaster" technology, will feature a hidden track below the visible "broken" tracks. While the immersive experience promises thrills, there are concerns about potential technical issues given the theme park's track record. The Donkey Kong Country expansion and its Mine Cart Madness coaster are scheduled to open at Universal Studios Japan this spring, with hopes for a future announcement at Epic Universe in Orlando.
