Is the USJ plot bigger than the USF plot?

No, it's not.

I wouldn't know a thing about Japan. I don't even remember much about Japan other than the gross amount of glass roofs I have seen in pictures.

 

[Teebin]

No, it's not.

You know precisely where they are building in Japan? How do you know that???

Ever since the GameXplain rumor from earlier in the year; The rumors have been pointing heavily to a cluster of buildings near the parks entrance; where they have been holding the Universal Cool events.

Its about 5.8 acres from what I can gather, and that is pending on if Space Fantasy is going to be included in the area for acreage.

I heard they were getting rid of Jaws instead due to Universal Cool/Jump area is way too valuable.

That would be a shock, although that gives 8 acres.

As I said yesterday, Orlando very well may not be getting Yoshi at all. It was only planned for Japan.

Hmmm... maybe Donkey Kong is planned for US and Yoshi for Japan? I'm pretty sure Donkey Kong is slightly more popular in America than he is in Japan, and they could be saving both as expansion plans for the other. (Yoshi in Orlando for a Mario expansion, and vice versa)

Wow, they are considering demolishing Space Fantasy? That's more of a surprise than the possibility of ET biting the dust in Orlando.

I didn't say of the demolition of Space Fantasy. I only said if they could do that, it would give them about 9 acres.

Isn't this official?

 

[Teebin]

Squeak. I don't really care what most theme parks are doing around the world. You people are killing me with your interest in every park scene. I am just an Orlando whore!

Yes Team Orlando only because the closest I'm getting to a Nintendo ride in Japan is YouTube

Nope.

Nope.

Interesting..then, may I ask if this is including Amity; will this also include the Waterworld area/show?

 

[captainmoch]

I'm hoping it just replaces Amity... I love it when a single attraction is replaced by a whole huge land.

Amity....water world is staying, they utilize for things other than water world and its satisfaction ratings doesn't suggest they get rid of it. The Sankei article was correct at one time but it seems like things changed recently.

and also when the nintendo stuff leaked this statement was released:

Japan's Sankei newspaper carried an article on Saturday claiming that a new Nintendo attraction, already announced by the two companies, would open at USJ in 2020 and detailing the location and cost: $350 million (￥40 billion).

USJ's Takahashi said that while plans for the attraction were moving forward, the details in the article were incorrect.

Hmm, then I'm intrigued.

So in essence, would the size of the plot be this..?

It would be close to 10 acres, but I am surprised that they would have it at Amity.

This most likely is the major part of the reasoning in addition to space.

USJ in its announcement on April 1 attributed its attendance record in part to an attraction themed on the Harry Potter film series that opened in 2014 and remained popular thanks to improvements to the facility.

Limited anime-themed events also contributed to attracting visitors, with an increase in arriving and departing flights operated by low-cost carriers at Kansai International Airport also serving as a tail wind for the rise in attendance, the company said.

Those temporary overlays make USJ a LOT of money. Especially One Piece.

With nine acres, they could follow a very similar route much like what UOR may have. What questions me is USH, as they are extremely limited on space as is (since they are rumored to have it too).
