Most of the people sprinting left from the gates are heading through the green pipe into Super Nintendo World. Mario Kart, Yoshi and the current queue champion, Donkey Kong's Crazy Mine Cart, are all in there, and grown adults lose an hour bashing blocks with Power-Up Bands to rack up coins in the app. Across the park are Hogwarts and the Harry Potter area, Minion Park and The Flying Dinosaur (132 cm minimum). Standard queues for the big rides easily pass 90 minutes, so decide before you go whether you are doing a rope drop or paying for an Express Pass.
