Right at the end of 2023, Universal Studios announced the opening date of its Donkey Kong Country park at Super Nintendo World Japan. It was should have to be this spring (any day now, we’d guess), but instead, the studio announced that the opening has been pushed back to “late 2024.”
He announced the postponement Universal Studios Japan on Twitterwith a notice that doesn’t say why the opening has been delayed, but confirms that more details will be available in the future when they’re ready.
You can find a translation (via Google) of the official announcement below, followed by the tweet itself.
Donkey Kong Country, which was previously scheduled to open in spring 2024, has been changed to late 2024.
We apologize for any inconvenience to those who were waiting.
We will announce the opening date and other details as soon as they are decided.
It’s strange to hear a delay this late, especially after things looked so close to being over in recent footage. Still, when we’re dealing with slides that will literally derail you, we’d rather see things moved up to one or two more safety checks.
