Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

I had to remind myself too, although I went twice whilst the car park was still out front.

So does this mean a new entrance in a new location? Any talk on what the new configuration might be?
If I was to guess I'd say a temporary entrance marquee, like the steel ones for HHN all the way out on the main path (just after Allah Garden.)

That way people know how to get to the ride.

After entering new entrance arch, takes you through tight path between work walls and Spongebob. Maybe?

From our understanding, the new entrance is a more permanent solution. Prob bringing the ride to the Hollywood side.

Either way, we have a thread for ET here: The Future of E.T. Adventure | Page 11 | Inside Universal Forums

We should take all the convo there.
 
Back in the USF thread, Jungle put at least three rides for the Nintendoland project in the upcoming projects in the next five years. I just want to get some clarification because that would mean Yoshi, Mario and DK are coming for sure but what potentially could be the other rides unless themed flat rides are also coming along?

Yoshi, Mario Kart, and Donkey Kong are/were all that was slated for phase one.

However, recent rumors suggest they may be jumping right into future expansions for the KidZone Nintendo right off the bat. The expansion area I've been told about is actually kind of small, so I've wondered if it was just set aside for a flat ride and maybe play area.

Universal does have a tendacy to open the kiddie rides/flat rides a couple years after the main land. Simpsons Hurl and Twirl, Flying Unicorn, and Storm Force are examples of that.

Part of that might've just been circumstance. Simpsons at least was a super quick + cheap way to add some capacity and a much-needed small flat ride.
