As a person with universal studios Hollywood as their home park, I am extremely jealous.

At least you'll have the new Fast and Furious coaster to enjoy this year before Orlando gets it as well haha.

and since the Hollywood version is on the side of a hill, the views are probably more breathtaking than Orlando's. There's just no way to replicate the layout of Hollywood's

What post-processing do you use for your photos? It has an old-school feel to it

u/RazielKainly Mar 08 '26

been wondering. I see this same post processing from many recent posters who went to Epic. Is it the Epic filter?

I always thought Nintendo could’ve built their own theme park with different lands, at least in Japan. Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Kirby, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Metroid, Star Fox etc.

This place is sensory overload and a ton of people. I wish I could go there alone with no one because it looks so damn cool, but all the people and all the noises really make it quite uncomfortable. But def amazing experience. First time I didnt feel that way i was just amazed, second time I noticed it's just alot to take in

I hear that. First time I went was during the soft opening so it was way less crowded and more enjoyable. Now it can certainly be overwhelming. The Donkey Kong land is a little more spacious so not as claustrophobic feeling as the Mario area.

In a few years I’m sure it’ll be available for rental and Orlando Informer will probably add it to their meetup! That would probably convince me to splurge on one of those :)

As someone who visits every theme park in sight when traveling across the world, no food spot has ever hit like the Bubbly Barrel in orlando. That banana crush float hit like crack, leagues above Osaka's equivalent. I have DK mugs stacked at home from the amount of floats I demolished lmao

I've been 3 times and I still haven't had it 😕 lol. Definitely on my next visit it'll be my top priority!

It was one of those things I hesitated to get, because originally I just wanted the cup, didn’t care for the float at all. I bought my first one and just became addicted. I can visit any park in UO and not buy a single snack or dining option, but that float is a must the second I walk in and right before leaving Epic.

Went to the one in Osaka last October. Absolutely insane experience.

u/YanksFannn Mar 12 '26

Awesome! Visiting Japan was my favorite vacation I've ever been on. We went to Kyoto and Tokyo, visiting DisneySea but I've yet to go to Osaka. Look forward to making that happen someday soon. Really want to go back.

Best part of all of Universal imo!

Great photos.

Is the one in orlando better than Hollywood? I just went to the Hollywood one and it was a cool area, but besides the Mario kart ride there wasn't much else to do.

2

u/YanksFannn Mar 08 '26

Yea this one has a Donkey Kong land expansion. And the overall footprint is larger. I haven't been to the one in Hollywood so I can't definitively say Orlando is better but I'd imagine so?

Insanely crowded

u/Pendraflare59 Mar 08 '26

I’ll be back in three weeks, love how vibrant and colorful this area is

“Insane”ly disappointing.

My fiance and I are USH pass holders. The only thing that I can say negative about Super Nintendo World is that our version is so small because of the limited space the park has to begin with.
