I'm not sure if Nintendo is even really that popular in China?
It's not

Clone? Hell, we can barely get ours working properly.I assume this Hogsmeade won't be getting a Hagrid clone?
lol true, but this park is 2 years away plus id assume they didn't forsee this issues beforehand. Just didn't know if it was in the plans at all.Clone? Hell, we can barely get ours working properly.

I don't think the fact that they are already doing 4 SNW's would stop them putting one here, more likely it just wasn't an IP that worked in the extensive GP surveying they did for IP's to use in this park.
Maybe but it seems like they focusing on Chinese IPs for any new park built.To bring up, Nintendo and Tencent are both trying to get the Switch to China, and even showed it off at a Chinese tech event just last week with massive lines.
I wouldn't be shocked once it's legally approved for China, that Universal may look into the idea of SNW for Beijing.

Harry Potter is not popular in China either (in fact Detective Pikachu outdrew it). But I figure they are banking on it being a quality land and hopefully translating well to the market...
But this is more of a clone park of best hits rather than a fully fleshed out project designed for the market (like Epic Universe seems to be).
Why even clone a 20-year-old coaster for a completely different IP?
Is the the zero g roll looking a bit smoother compared to Orlando's?
It's the angle. Can't get that angle from IOA cause you'll be in the water.

That's what I thought after posting, I can't imagine they'd be prepared to change the layout for here and not in Orlando when they rebuilt it.
It's crazy, there's only been 2 new sitting coasters since Hulk debuted by B&M.
