Thank you for your picture update.

Anyone know if they have an open date in mind now? I Googled even in Japanese and there is no news, good or bad. And I don't see clips/pictures of the ride testing either... I wonder.

Opinion:
If Epic Universe is opening at the beginning of next year, I imagine that USJ wants to open the Donkey Kong area not too far from that date.
As some of you may know, USJ's Halloween season is extremely popular and the park gets crowds that are on another level. I don't see the need of opening Donkey Kong during the Hallowong event. So my guess is that it will open in November - December.

What do you guys think? If there is any information or rumors you heard, please share them with us! I've been looking forward to this area to opening to the public for such a long time and seeing it sitting there just makes me sad.

This is how the tallest point in the new area looks like in the night. This picture was taken from the HP area.
