Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[IzzyB]

So catching up on this thread is funny. Not sure why anyone thought a boat ride was coming lol. When reading stuff you have to really seperate what the insiders say vs. what others are guessing or hoping for.

The one thing I have to promise myself is to not build up expectations/imaginations in my head.

So just read about the last 10 pages and just to recap a few things to make sure I'm reading all of this correctly:

1. We should expect 3 new attractions...a Donkey Kong coaster, a Mario Kart ride and a ride involving Yoshi
2. There are no boat themed attractions
3. Nintendo land will go into the KidZone area at Universal Studios but we still don't know the fate of E.T.

Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Correction: Yoshi is not guaranteed for Orlando. It was designed for Japan only.

That can always change.

That can always change.

With Yoshi being described as an E-ticket and DK a d-ticket, I would rather have Yoshi than DK.

Yoshi will come if ET is replaced. Even if ET is not replaced phase 1, nothing says it can't be done later. Which is what I am hoping for. That way they don't lose capacity while building this.

ET can close once F&F is open.

I've been dreaming of a DK mine coaster since I was a little kid playing DKC. Do not take that away from me :tongue:

 

[Teebin]

Well I am the one that told everyone about ET. A few months back their were debates within UC to bring Yoshi (which I only recently figured out what character it was although I could see it) to Orlando and put in the ET location. At that time, there was no resolve and I have no idea what the decision was, or even if it has been decided.

It makes a great suspense for some of us.

Just saying. IMO, if they are going to do it go big or stay at home.

 

[Bulldog45]

Will they be building on those vacant lots back by Men in Black?

And if we got all three rides?

 

[quinnmac000]

And if we got all three rides?

I would be happier than a little kid in a candy store

Well, another parade building last I heard... and something else was in early development to work around said building. I don't believe Nintendo will claim that space as there are service roads back there. It's all very curious unlike that coming mess across the lagoon.

Of the attraction variety? Or backstage stuff?

Nintendo made an appearance at the closing ceremony of the Olympics tonight.
