Universal has never been shy when it comes to experimenting with new coaster concepts, and that stays true with Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness at Epic Universe. Opening a few months after the similar ride in Japan, this is not only Nintendos first coaster, but the first with a new boom arm to simulate jumping and switching tracks. After entering the Golden Temple, Cranky Kong warns us of the Tiki Tak tribe stealing the Golden Banana with their leader Tiki Tong, and its up to us to follow Donkey and Diddy Kong to chase them out. The coaster then completes many fun jumping tricks, and while hardly any are visible from off ride, this shows just about every angle you're able to view.
