Super Nintendo World Rides – EPIC Universe

Super Nintendo World Orlando is going to be one of three Mario-themed lands around the globe, with incredible attractions that we cannot wait to try. With the official opening of Super Nintendo World Hollywood, we have an up-close glimpse of what’s to come. With that being said, the Orlando iteration of Super Nintendo World will be the only 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 coming to 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 Coaster

Donkey Kong’s coaster is going to be a truly wild one, as it is the first of its kind. The “boom coaster” creates an illusion of jumping over sections of broken track, just like the historic Donkey Kong game. This attraction will debut in Universal Studios Japan in 2024.

Dark Universe: Universal Classic Monsters Rides

Universal is finally going to be paying homage to the classic monsters, ghosts, and ghouls we’ve all known. Dark Universe will include elements from classics like Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, 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 Rides – Isle of Berk

Another Epic Universe land that will be incredible is How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. Toothless and Hiccup are coming to Orlando! The first, and most interesting ride that would be coming would be the How to Train Your Dragon roller coaster. This coaster will be a massive, steel launch coaster that is set to cover 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 dragons, offering breathtaking views and heart-pounding drops.
• 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.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

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 land is rumored to be set in the Ministry of Magic with elements from the Fantastic Beast franchise, as well. From what others have gathered from construction, the main feature attraction will be similar to the Spider-Man ride in Islands of Adventure.

Either way, the attraction is supposed to bring guests on a harrowing trek through the Ministry of Magic, which will be in a giant show building.

• 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.

Universal’s EPIC Universe Rides

There will also be brand-new EPIC Universe Orlando rides that will exist outside of the main lands, such as the EPIC Universe hub, Celestial Park. This new area will be adorned with bronze archways, celestial constellations, and mystical emblems that will represent the fundamental elements – water, fire, earth, air, and space. With that being said, there are rumors for EPIC Universe rides of their own called the Constellation Carousel and Starfall Racers.

• Starfall 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, Starfall Racers will be 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 will take a fantastical whirl aboard constellations that glide forward, backward – and even make 360-degree rotations – through the milky way in a choreographed dance of music and starlight.
