In a Reel posted to Instagram, Universal Creative confirmed that the roller coaster is named “Mine-Cart Madness.”

On the family coaster, riders will speed through a rickety mine, performing stunts straight out of the “Donkey Kong” video games. There will even be an encounter with series’ antagonist Tiki Tong.
