The launch of Super Nintendo World in Japan, and later on in the States, may have started out rough due to the first park being launched during the global pandemic, but once people had the chance to start truly going there and enjoying it, it’s become one of the most popular amusement parks in the world! That’s not a joke or exaggeration, either. Since then, not only has a California park opened, but a Donkey Kong Country expansion has popped up in Japan, with the US opening coming soon, including in Orlando when the “Epic Universe” at Universal Studios opens in May.
However, if you’re curious about how popular the Donkey Kong Country expansion is, you need only look at the tweet below. As you can see, the line for the main rollercoaster ride in the park is…well…it’s long:

If this happens at Super Nintendo World in Orlando during its opening, fans (and Universal Studios) could be in for a rough opening. Hopefully, things get curbed at all the parks soon enough. After all, many are looking forward to the Orlando opening…but not so much the long lines.
