The plans, which have been reported on the , claim that the park – currently called Project 314 – will launch in around 2023.

The blog, which claims to have spoken to a Universal insider, revealed most details about the new Super Nintendo land.

Guests will reportedly be able to ride attractions based on Mario Kart, Zelda and Donkey Kong, with Princess Peach’s Castle at the centre of the zone.

To give us an idea - it's worth taking a look at the Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan.

While there is already a Jurassic Park land in the Islands Of Adventure theme park, it is though that this new “Jurassic Park thrill ride” will take inspiration from the new movies.

According to the source, market research has already been done to find out what visitors would want from a new Jurassic Park attraction.

A third land would reportedly be based on the Lord of The Rings , although there were no more details for this.

Finally, there is rumoured to be a “Ministry Of Magic” from the Harry Potter prequels, Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them.

This would mean that guests could spend one day at Universal’s Harry Potter themed Wizarding World in their Islands Of Adventure theme park before moving on to Fantastic Beasts.

Last year, guests were treated to Universal's first new park in 18 years  -new waterpark Volcano Bay.

Volcano Bay is based around the legend of the South Pacific’s Waturi tribe, with 18 new attractions and six restaurants spread out across 22 acres.

This year, guests are looking forward to the opening of the theme park's newest ride - its new Fast And Furious – Supercharged attraction.

The ride will feature some of the movie franchise’s favourite characters, including Tej (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) and Mia (Jordana Brewster), Dom (Vin Diesel), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and criminal mastermind Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).

There will also be 15 of the cars that have been used in the films, including Dom’s Dodge Charger and Letty’s Turbo Truck.

Last year, we also reported that Universal was also  building two new budget resort hotels with rooms starting at $100 (£76) a night.

Opening in the summer of 2019, Universal Orlando Resort’s new hotels will allow guests to enjoy the perks of staying at a theme park hotel – without the huge price tag.
