Wow, that Mario Kart popcorn bucket looks awesome. Does it actually light up like in the pictures? I’m also curious if the Power Up Bands will work at other Nintendo parks too. If anyone has more info, feel free to share.
Yes! Power-Up Bands work across all Universal parks. You may have to pair it with the Universal Orlando app, but if you’ve purchased a Band in Japan or Hollywood, it will still work in Orlando.
