Super Nintendo World Rides – EPIC Universe
Super Nintendo World Orlando is one of three Mario-themed lands around the globe, with incredible attractions that we want to ride over and over again. Orlando’s version of Super Nintendo World was the only one of the three to open with all three rides complete. Both Japan and Hollywood are having expansions of Donkey Kong’s Mine Coaster coming later on.
So, with all that being said what are the rides in Super Nintendo World Orlando?
What are the Super Nintendo Orlando Rides?
- Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge
- Yoshi’s Adventure
- Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness
Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge
Jump inside a real vehicle in the iconic Mario Kart game and race your friends through a challenging course! This is the world’s first interactive Mario Kart theme park ride, where you can hit your enemies with shells, race around the tracks, and experience so much more with special vehicle glasses!
Yoshi’s Adventure
Yoshi’s Adventure is a ride that will essentially take you for a “walk in the park” around The Mushroom Kingdom. You will get to see every single inch of the incredibly imagined land in this family-friendly EPIC Universe attraction with Yoshi as your guide. There are some surprise scenes along the way too, which we think are super cute!
Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness
The “boom coaster” creates an illusion of jumping over sections of broken track, just like the historic Donkey Kong game. It’s rickety on purpose to really make you feel like you are racing through a cave with Donkey Kong.

Dark Universe Rides – EPIC Universe
Universal is finally paying homage to the classic monsters, ghosts, and ghouls we all know and love. Dark Universe will include elements from classics like Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolfman.
-
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment: A thrilling dark ride located deep below Frankenstein Manor. Guests encounter Dr. Victoria Frankenstein and her attempt to control monsters. You’ll see classic Universal Monsters like Dracula, Brides of Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Wolf Man, Mummy, and Phantom of the Opera.
- Curse of the Werewolf – Family spinning coaster located in the Guild of Mystics encampment. Based on the character Maleva, a seer who warns guests they bear the mark of the werewolf. Riders speed through the forest pursued by werewolves, culminating in a face-to-face encounter.

How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk Rides – EPIC Universe
Another Epic Universe land that is incredible is How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. The most popular ride in this land is the How to Train Your Dragon roller coaster – Hiccup’s Wing Gliders. This coaster is a massive, steel launch coaster that covers most of the land with scenic views.
There will be another How to Train Your Dragon Ride Universal, which will allow a more interactive approach. It is slated to be a family-friendly, interactive boat ride with water cannons to aim at a targeted course and potentially guests too! We will also be getting a live stage show, The Untrainable Dragon.
- Hiccup’s Wing Gliders: A multi-launch Intamin roller coaster that simulates the experience of flying with Toothless, offering breathtaking views of Berk.
- Dragon Racer’s Rally: A dual sky fly attraction that puts guests in control of their dragon, challenging riders to outmaneuver each other in aerial combat.
- Fyre Drill: A boat ride adventure through the world of Berk, encountering dragons and experiencing the Viking way of life.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic Rides – EPIC Universe
Since the huge success of both Harry Potter lands in the other Universal parks, it only made sense that another Wizarding World would be added to EPIC Universe. This takes you to 1920’s wizarding Paris (with elements from the Fantastic Beasts franchise) where you can travel via metro-floo to the British Ministry of Magic.
This Epic Universe land is home to the most popular attraction in the park – Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. We have seen this attraction reach wait times up to 300 minutes!
- Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry: A dark ride that immerses guests in the chaos and magic of the battle at the Ministry of Magic, featuring cutting-edge technology to bring spells and duels to life.

Celestial Park Rides – EPIC Universe
The main hub of Epic Universe is called Celestial Park. This new land is putting the “park” back in “theme parks.” With luscious gardens, fountains, dining options, and of course – rides! Celestial Park is home to a heart-pounding coaster – Stardust Racers and the Constellation Carousel.
- Stardust Racers, a dual-launch racing coaster that sends guests rocketing through the skies aboard comets in a race to see who’s the fastest of them all. Reaching speeds up to 62 mph and heights up to 133 feet along 5,000 feet of track, Stardust Racers is Epic Universe’s most thrilling coaster experience with unique maneuvers such as the “Celestial Spin,” in which the two coaster vehicles perform an inverted crisscross while speeding through the air – creating an “out-of-this-world” adrenaline rush.
- Constellation Carousel – the grand centerpiece of Celestial Park. Here, explorers of all ages can hop aboard constellations that glide forward, backward – and even make 360-degree rotations.
