VGC reports that the mysterious gate is located and “hidden” to the north of the park, with a “very DK design” as seen in the image below. Neither Nintendo nor Universal have recognized this door so far, but there is plenty of reason to believe that new Donkey Kong elements are already planned for the park.
Towards the end of last year, data analysts discovered Donkey Kong stickers on the park’s mobile app, suggesting there will be activities to see and do with Nintendo’s famous Kong character family.
And rumors about DK’s involvement with the park have been around since 2019, when leaked conceptual models revealed a Super Mario zone and a Donkey Kong zone. The concept of Super Mario is almost identical to the actual offering that can be seen in the park today, so it’s not exactly a fact to assume that the DK model was legitimate either.
Even if COVID weren’t ruining our travel plans, maybe enduring a visit is the best way to act? Two areas in one seem pretty good to us.
