Universal: Donkey Kong Minecart Madness

We had finally arrived in Donkey Kong County, aka Michaels dreamland. Michael is the biggest Donkey Kong fan. Like, the biggest. So much so that he was willing to do a rollercoaster. This was one of, if not, the biggest incentive for Michael to want to come to Japan. His number one on the to do list.

The man was in heaven. And we did the coaster with the regular 220 minute wait... In barely 20 minutes. By the time we got done with all three rides, it took us barely 70 minutes across the three, versus their total wait time of like 450+ minutes. Absolutely wild.

And this coaster... My god! It was a BLAST! So immersive, and incredibly fun for a coaster that barely had any drops and no looping. It was family friendly but full of thrills, as it used a very clever mechanic that genuinely made you feel like the cart was bouncing off the track. And when the photo came back... My god 😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean, Michael looks gorgeously scarily delighted, and I look utterly terrifying and have a double chin for days. He was thrilled at the image, so of course we were taking it home hahaha!!!!

Honestly, I don't think I've seen my husband as chuffed as this the entire time I've known him. It was heartwarming indeed.Leer más
