VGC reports that the mysterious door is located and “hidden” to the north of the park, presenting “a very DK-esque design”, as seen in the image below. Neither Nintendo nor Universal have recognized this door in any official capacity so far, but there are plenty of reasons to believe that new Donkey Kong items are already planned for the park.
Towards the end of last year, data analysts discovered Donkey Kong stickers in the park’s mobile app, suggesting that there will be activities to see and do with Nintendo’s beloved Kong character family.
And rumors about DK’s involvement in the park have actually been present since 2019, when the conceptual models revealed revealed a Super Mario area and a Donkey Kong area. The work of the Super Mario concept is almost identical to the real business seen in the park today, so it’s not really a stretch to assume that the DK model was legitimate as well.
Even if COVID didn’t ruin our travel plans, maybe stopping for a visit is the best course of action? Two areas in one sounds pretty great to us.
