“Soon, we’re going to add another Super Nintendo World to Universal Orlando Resort,” announced Universal Parks & Resorts Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Woodbury on Wednesday night at the grand opening event for the same-named attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. He then admitted that the news may have been “the worst-kept secret in history.” You can watch the moment below.

Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood officially opens Friday, roughly coinciding with the April 7, 2023 release of Universal and Illumination’s Super Mario Bros movie — the voice of Mario himself, Chris Pratt, was at the grand opening event Wednesday night. A larger Super Nintendo World opened last year at Universal’s Japan park with its own Mario Kart attraction, one is planned for Singapore and now, officially, there is confirmation that Orlando will also get a version of the attraction.
The Orlando build will be a part of that resort’s larger, much-anticipated Epic Universe park expected to open in 2025.
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts announced Epic Universe in 2019, calling it “the single-largest investment Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business. Then-Universal Parks & Resorts head Tom Williams described the “vision” for Epic Universe as “historic.” He said the new park would be “the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created.”
Given those adjectives, anticipation among fans has been intense, with some combing through building permits for the 750-acre site and others sending up drones to survey the build in order to divine coming attractions based on photos.
