Crane spotted at the future Donkey Kong Country area but that doesn't necessarily mean construction is resuming because it could just be them moving something that is stored on the lot. Hopefully we'll get a better view of the site soon!

Does anyone have photos of the Donkey Kong area?

Yes, there are animatronics on the ride. you can encounter many characters from Super Mario! The ride is a huge mix between projections and physical elements. The AR goggles only add more elements such as other racers (Luigi, Mario etc) I’ve been on the ride twice and the animatronics seem fine. Some may freeze but that's because you threw a shell at it!

This site is used for updates. Please refrain from having a conversation here when that can be done pretty much anywhere. Also, if anyone wants to know how the rides look, go to youtube since there are plenty of videos.

Also (I know we already asked this question and got an answer, but I still want to clarify) is there an animatronics on the ride? If not, is there at least moving objects on that ride (like animatronics, but not for characters)?

One more, I have been hearing that the animatronics have been breaking down all around the park, is this true? How so?

Thanks!

The park itself is very cool. It’s very immersive and the theming is done really well. The power-up bands are about $33 each!
