If that tweet ends up being correct then I’m glad I decided to go Sun/Mon instead of Mon/Tue.

Also worth to note that Nintendo has a six-months earning call on the 5th of November, which could or could not be a coincidence:

I'll be there on the 11th and 12th. Hoping to get on Donkey Kong!

Same account now seems convinced that because of a Kansai resident discount, 2025 is looking more likely. Unbelievable that this ride will likely have a one year delay

How is that unbelievable when it’s a brand new ride system ?

I'm sure the new ride system is a part of it, but it is a little odd that the kinks haven't been worked out when we have five year old footage of them testing this exact system.

Rise also suffered a several month delay, but that ride is by far more complex than DK and part of the delays stemmed from Disney having to rip up the entire floor of the attraction.

Don't know what Universal's excuse is if this ride system was being tested for 5 years. Maybe some element didn't pan out like they though it would

A test track slash proof of concept to see if the ride system works is different than a coaster that actually has dark ride elements that all have to be synced together while providing a safe ride for riders.

If show elements aren't working in sync based on tomfoolery's post alluding to electric systems issues previously and properly for a 3rd party IP, it is better for Universal to delay and work out kinks than piss of their partner who is allowing universal to rack in the dollars.
