    I am a sensitive, corny dreamer girl--and Super Nintendo World in Epic Universe it what dreams are made of. Completely immersive and well designed, this place puts you right in the mind of the game makers. I met mario, I enjoyed all the rides, and I rocked that Power Up Band. If you are not familiar, the Power Up Band unlocks mini-games throughout the world. Once you complete all the mini-games, you can compete in a larger game against Bowser Jr. If you are a Nintendo person, this is a must! I had so much fun. Most of the Team Members were so helpful and participated with me since I was solo. Plus, up-punching the ? blocks for coins? Elite. An amazing adventure from the music, the interactive elements, the team, and the rides. I cannot wait to go back.

    Super Nintendo World in Epic Universe is heaps better than the one in Universal Hollywood! I visited the one in California last summer & it does not compare to this one... at all. There's a lot more to do here: rides, food, & mini games. I really loved Donkey Kong themed land, also inside Nintendo World. The Mine Cart Madness ride is worth the wait btw! Must try the Donkey Kong Crush Float, available at the Bubbly Barrel... absolutely delicious. 10/10 experience.

    DK Country was a must ride inside Super Nintendo world! Orlando's SNES world was WAY LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than Cali's! They had the room to make this area super dope for adults and children. There's full themed cafe's, drink stands like the Donkey Kong stand and bunch of mini games, costume actors / shows and just overall nostalgic. Kong's ride makes you feel like you were a part of the game! Worth it! Best thing in here! There's one part of the ride it looks like your mining cart jumps the track haha! Luckily lines were short when we went! We already did bowsers ride in cali, and was thoroughly disappointed so we opted to skip that one. Will have to try yoshi's ride next time

    The Nintendo World is the most popular park in Epic Universe. They did such amazing job of making the whole space look exactly like the Nintendo World. There are several rides, games, cafe and shops in this park. It's multi level, so there are stairs and elevators available to go up and down. The most popular ride in here is the Yoshi Adventure. It's super popular. Wait time goes above 40 minutes within an hour of opening. The gift shop here is huge. It's heaven for Mario fans. It has an incredible collection of Nintendo and Mario merchandises. I spent so much time at this store checking out the hats, t-shirts, costumes, water bottles, notepads, figurines and all the different things. All things considered, this was my favorite part of Epic Universe.

    Super Nintendo World is the place to be during the evening hours at Epic Universe. I grew up playing the regular Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Game Cube, N64 and other gaming consoles. I've been to the Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Hollywood, but during my Epic Universe visit on a Sunday in October, I had a chance to visit the Super Nintendo World in Orlando Florida. Super Nintendo World is one of the most immersive and interactive lands that I've ever gone to. As soon as you enter the green warp pipe, you're transported into the world of Super Nintendo. You'll see floating coins, Goombas, Piranha Plants, and a towering Peach's Castle. It makes you feel like you're inside the Mushroom Kingdom! The land has two major sections. The first is the Super Mario Land, which centers on two main attractions. There is the Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, which an augmented reality dark ride where riders race through Browser's Castle in a kart. You get to collect coins and dodge obstacles. You don't necessarily need to wear the VR visors on the ride if you get motion sickness though! The second ride is Yoshi's Adventure. It's a omnimover style attraction where riders cruise in a Yoshi shaped vehicle above the land, taking in views of the Mushroom Kingdom! The second area is the full Donkey Kong Country area. You can visit the Donkey Kong themed area with jungles, waterfalls, and landmarks from the video games like Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2. There is also the Golden Template! The key attraction in this area is the Mine Cart Madness. This ride is one of my favorite rides! It's a roller coaster that uses a boom coaster design. While you ride this ride, you'll see broken track, but the car is actually attached to a hidden track underneath. This creates the illusion of jumping gapes, just like in the video games! It's so cool! If you have the Power Up Band, the wearable wristband sold in the theme parks or at Universal City Walk, you can collect digital coins by hitting virtual blocks, playing mini games around the land, and even team up with others for a boss battle against Bowser Jr. A lot of these experiences are interactive which is great! There are a variety of shops and dining locations inside the Super Nintendo World. There is Toadstool's Cafe, Yoshi's Snack Island, and Turbo Boost Treats. For merchandise and collectibles you could visit stores like the 1 Up Factory and Mario Motors (After the Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, you'll actually exit into Mario Motors). This is such a fun and interactive themed area. I was hoping to do a Meet and Greet with Donkey Kong, but unfortunately, there wasn't any availability. You could easily spend half a day inside Super Nintendo World.

    Go left when you come in -it's the first portal/world to the left past the Celestial Park carousel. The big portal is a cool green tube ride up in the escalators into this world - it's on an elevated second level (the lower level has restaurants, shops and meet & greets) - portraits of Princess Peach, etc. as it opens up into a beautifully designed portion of the park. A lot of play possibility with watches you buy in order to track your scores... hit the boxes, add to your scores in various minigames and boxes to hit everywhere, and other things that you can do increase your scores including go on rides, and a lot of people taking photos everywhere. Character meet and greets were very long lines. The rides were all super long lines... Mine Cart Madness, Yoshi's Adventure, and Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge were all over 200min when we visited. Single rider onto the Kart ride took more than an hour of waiting around with little to do since it skips the line. Only three rides in this area. Lots of merch, super fun little decor and photo ops, but really too many people for too few rides... get the Express pass if you want to ride everything in Epic especially this area which was busy from early open through close.

    Omg, where do i even start!!!!? I spent my birthday here and wooooow, couldn't have asked for a better bday. I almost shed a tear everywhere in here. The lines were of course long but maaaaaan, what a dream come true. I'm old now but Super Nintendo will never get boring or old. I'm so thankful & the staff wished me a hbd every time they noticed my birthday pin, super friendly and attentive staff. I'll have to come back and enjoy it again for sure. What a dream !!!!!

    If you grew up playing Mario, you'll enjoy the throwbacks here! The Mario Kart ride was fun and competitive! Definitely worth the visit....but also one and done...not a ton to do here but walking around was a time machine to childhood memories :)

    The design of this is simply amazing. Whoever put it together did a great job. It looks just like you are in Mario. The castle even has the photos on the walls, like N64 Mario where you jump in the photo for that world. There are 3 rides here. The Yoshi ride is cute, DK is a small roller-coaster (very fun), and Mario Cart, where it's like you are playing the game. They have the music playing, gold blocks, etc within this area. So cute and fun.

    very cute section of universals new epic universe park. I would say the person who would enjoy this best is a big mario world fan, the park is visually striking and almost feels too good to be true when you walk in. it's very photogenic and really captures the theme park feeling. the negative is that the rides are pretty lackluster and have long wait times. they do a good job of keeping the lines in shade and air conditioning but it will be a long wait, and many of them are VR or lazy river type rides. overall it's worth it just for the scenery but i wouldn't come looking for a coaster.

    I always liked Nintendo- I grew up playing the old plug-in games on a fat tv, then was obsessed with the Nintendo DS, and have now started learning the ways of the switch. But I still never realized quite how magical an actual Nintendo World theme park would be. The great attention to detail in this pair is astounding (really, in all of Epic Universe, but Nintendo World in specific really made my inner kid heart so proud). It is overstimulation central with so much going on, but it's also such a dream. So many moving parts, bright colors, interactive spots and pure fun. There are a lot of steps to go up and down between walking around the area and in the ride queues. There are 3 rides in this world- Yoshi's Adventure, which is a chill kind of tour of the park, a virtual Mario Kart ride/ race, and Mine-Cart Madness, Donkey Kong's famed roller coaster. Every part of this part is just awesome. Something extra special is you can also buy interactive wristbands for Nintendo World- they work kind of like how wands work in Harry Potter land. It's really all a lot of fun and so great for the kids, and adults that are kids at heart.

    Samantha Q.

    Love Super Nintendo World! Literally felt like I was inside a video game. Loved the kid Yoshi ride, great way to ride around and see the land. We didn't get the wristbands for all the interactive activities but everyone made it look like it was so much fun. The negatives: The headband and glasses for Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge made the whole ride miserable honestly. & I wish Mine Cart Madness was apart of the Express Pass - we knew that going in but really wish the wait wasn't so crazy so we could've experienced it.

    Isabel M.

    I visited Nintendo World during the technical rehearsals, and it was amazing! Even though a few attractions were still closed, there were plenty of character meet-and-greets, and the main ride was incredibly interactive. The whole area is so immersive; it really feels like stepping into a video game! There isn't much shade, so be prepared for sun or rain. The wait time for Mario Kart was pretty long, but the ride itself was a lot of fun (though a bit tricky to figure out at first). I'm looking forward to going back and hopefully riding donkey Kong!

But what about low-key story-based rides for people more on my page of wanting a chiller experience? Seuss landing is adorable (could maybe use a bit of a refresh - the hole land reminds me of the books - fun, nostalgic, meaningful, but a little worn and sticky). And the water rides? Take them away and I will riot! They are currently demolishing The Lost Continent, including Mystic Fountain, which is sort of sad. But I am so excited to see what's next!

I also liked that there's no entry fee for non-riders and you can purchase rides à la carte. I ended up paying $12 for a go-kart ride and LOVED it We got there around 12 PM and it wasn't crowded at all. The lines were super short, so the students were able to ride things 3-4 times with no problem, which made it even more worth it. One of the best deals was the all day dining pass (you have to buy it online). For $24, you get 2 meals and a snack, which is a steal compared to the regular menu prices. Our first stop was Cluckees where we had tenders, wings, and fries. The portions were HUGE and everything was tasty, especially the fries. None of us could even finish our food! For our snack, we grabbed ice cream. The kids loved it, but it wasn't my favorite. Later, we went back to Cluckees for a chicken sandwich and fries for dinner. This time it wasn't as good as earlier. Maybe a different cook or just an off moment. We didn't spend time in the arcade and stayed mostly outside. The park is a pretty decent size with plenty to do. Even as the day went on and traffic picked up, it never felt overly packed. The staff was friendly and very laid back, which added to the relaxed vibe of the day. Overall, it was a good experience. The kids really enjoyed it. I'd give it a 3.5. Btw I think there is a bee problem there. I saw bees flying around often. Not enough to ruin the experience, but I definitely noticed them.

We had a beautiful day to visit and smiled throughout the day. Some of our best moments were walking through the various city streets and seeing musical performances and dancing. The walkways were wide and we were never on top of other guests. Most rides had reasonable wait times and/or offered single rider options. The locker areas for cramped, but I appreciated how many of the wait queues were indoors, keeping us cooler and away from the rain. The Harry Potter sections were amazing, just amazing. I couldn't have imagined how it would have felt being in the middle of the space. Restaurants, both sit down and quick service, were scattered throughout the park. I loved that we didn't have to worry plan in advance to get a spot at either. My only downside to Universal Studios is that some of the themes felt outdated or just aren't favorite characters of mine. At least this helped to decrease the temptation of spending money on apparel or merchandise.

(I haven't seen a single one of those movies either!) I'm much more a fan of roller coasters than motion simulators so I like Islands of Adventure a good deal more than USF. I also like the theming more, apart from the Springfield area and Diagon Alley. The whole studio backlot/cityscape isn't as interesting to me. It's still a pleasant looking park though. The layout seems more confusing than IOA which is really straightforward and simple. Maybe part of it is this was my maiden voyage to USF while I'd been to IOA once before but there's just more nooks and crannies here. I've done reviews for most of the major rides and Diagon Alley. Simpsons and Transformers are elite, E.T. is a wonderful blast of nostalgia and weirdness we must protect at all costs, Escape from Gringotts is way overrated even if the queue theming and preshow is superb, I got no love for Jimmy Fallon or his stupid ride, the indoor Mummy coaster is surprisingly good still leaves this park's coaster lineup lagging way behind its neighbors, Men in Black is okay but not worth waiting in a long line for and the Minions shooter game was a quick diversion I never even bothered to do a review for. I'm just seeing we missed another Minions ride, a motion simulator. It was such a whirlwind of queues with almost no wait I guess it was easy to miss one. The Blues Brothers musical revue was an absolute blast with an awesome setting. And the Mardi Gras parade wrapped itself around the city streets around the diner where my sister and I ate dinner with us looking out the window and had parade to spare both before and after our meal! It went on for over half an hour. Universal didn't chintz out on that at all. Cast members, floats and flying beads aplenty. There were more shows, too, with stuff like behind the scenes on how Hollywood does makeup, stuff like that. We skipped these but stuff like this is why I wish I'd gotten my parents to this park before they passed. They'd have loved stuff like that, the Blues Brothers and the Hogwarts express. They seemed to like Islands of Adventure okay but I think they'd have liked this park considerably more. The theming, too, I think they'd have enjoyed more. This park closed a couple hours early on the weekday we visited, booked by some high rollers for a private event so we ended our day where we started at Islands of Adventure. And though I like that park more, with a Fast and Furious coaster on the way to USF I think I'd be more eager to return here and ride that and spend more time exploring and soaking in the vibes at this park.

    Hearing about it or seeing pictures is one thing, but being there in the middle of the buildings…read moreand shops is spectacular. This is a section you can spend only a little of your time in or it might be where you spend the bulk of your time. That likely depends on how many of the shops and restaurants you want to visit in the area. You may also be fans of the magical wands and making things move in the windows. I really enjoyed seeing the pages of the book come alive as well as several visitors, dressed in robes and other Harry Potter themed clothing. This is a fantastic spot for picture taking as well. It does get quite crowded in certain areas so hold onto your patience and enjoy the experience.

Its sole ride, Escape from Gringotts I gave two stars as I found it very lackluster compared to the two Potter themed thrill rides over at Islands of Adventure. But the theming in this section of the park is absolutely phenomenal and highly immersive enough to make this an easy 4 stars. The Knight Bus was fun enough for both my sister and I to get pictures by it with its friendly steward and his appropriate accent. I missed the low key entrance on our first go round. As I said I watched the movies in a cloud of smoke and didn't realize it was this secret fandom entrance/exit but the throngs passing through tipped us off. The greater density with everything packed so tightly together and its separation from the other themed areas of Universal Studios Florida makes this Potter themed area more impressive than its counterpart over at Islands of Adventure- even without a magnificent castle. The alleys, the shops, the hand painted signage, the dragon perched high shooting out that massive flame... I can only imagine how hard this hits if you're a Potter fanatic. And though Escape from Gringotts was pretty weak sauce in my estimation the queue and the theming before the ride experience was top notch. They really broke the bank on this, as with the great train ride in. Maybe if I ever go back I'll watch a Potter movie or two sober.

My AB students were SO excited to use their reward and felt super proud of themselves the entire visit. Sadly the jump area had already closed down, BUT the staff handled everything so kindly and made sure my other child still got to enjoy. One child did go-kart round and my other child got 2 hours of arcade time. That alone turned what was disappointment into a really fun family outing. The employees were patient, friendly, and genuinely nice the whole time -- which matters so much when you're out with kids. There's honestly a ton to do, the atmosphere was fun, and my kiddos are already asking when we're going back Definitely will be back again!

There are also shops, bars and some food as well. Nothing special, but a food time if you are a car geek or if you have kids. Everything is individual priced. Oh, they also have Lazer tag. Life hack for the drinkers out there. O07 museum bar has happy hour from 2- 4 daily. It is to the right when you walk in either door. They have $5 specialty drinks during happy hour and they are really good.
