Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Brian G.]

oh crap, lots of awesome patents....Mario kart, a "flying suit"? - Maybe a "Mario Suit" ride?, a Donkey Kong mine cart ride..and then two Volcano Bay rides

Flying suit tied to Marvel ideas.

I'm definitely excited by Super Nintendo World's potential. A solid attraction lineup, a fully immersive land that engages all five senses and expanded capacity for both Orlando and Japan (can't say if Hollywood is getting an actual expansion of capacity or merely a replacement of existing capacity).

i actually think you could make an argument that after Nintendo US will be the best park in the United States

 

[twebber55]

also the aesthetic of Mario really fits a theme park setting, with plenty of other properties to go into the next park

While I'd agree Super Nintendo World is two flat rides, a walkthrough/play area and an elaborate M&G away from surpassing Fantasyland (overall), there are a few weak spots at USF that keep me from placing it ahead of IOA or Disneyland (arguably AK once Pandora/RoL open).

But if they replace Fear Factor with a London expansion featuring Sherlock/Doctor Who, update the Mummy, bulldoze Shrek for the multi-level Greatest Cinematic Moments dark ride and do a sci-fi expansion (that incorporates Metroid/Star Fox), I'd concede

It's really hard to imagine that we won't be getting this until 2021.

GCM as you call it would be better as a replacement for Terminator in the Hollywood section.

If you live in California.

Back to Nintendo what if the "interactive area" is a classic Mario level style ropes course like what they opened in Adventure Isle at Shanghai Disneyland?

Star Fox is possible but it seems Shigeru hates Metroid based on him never updating anyone on the new game status. We would probably get Pikmin before Metroid.

I wouldn't say that. Shigeru is the one who vouched for Retro Studios to make Prime. He obviously doesn't care about it as much as his own creations though.

Miyamoto just has nothing to do with Metroid. Never really has

 

[tielo]

Could we have a Dombo style Star Fox spinner in there please. One with screens in the window of your little star ship projecting the game world. It's small but wonderful. The movement of going up and down will navigate you trough the asteroids and a huge space ship, the buttons will shoot lasers at enemies and absorb energy cubes.

 

[RichOBJ]

I'd be shocked if Metroid or Star Fox have any large presence outside of maybe decor or M&Gs. While popular, they just aren't as strong stand-alone in Nintendos mind as an entire Super Mario area with homages to the other properties.

 

[Brer Oswald]

So is the Castle Mario Kart, mountain Yoshi, and the right Donkey Kong?

It's not a fair dog fight against Disneyland, which to be fair has a 30 year head start. Tone that back to Orlando perhaps. Even if they weren't building Star Wars it still wouldn't be fair.

USJ on the other hand is becoming a beast...

To which castle are you referring to, Peach's or King Bowser's?

Also, shouldn't the thread be renamed to something like "Super Nintendo World (UOR)"? @BriMan @testtrack321

 

[brianlo]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the rumour that DK was not going to Japan and Yoshi maybe wasn't going to Orlando?

Are insiders saying both are definitively getting all three now?

 

[rhino4evr]

So will the castles actually be rides? or are they just entrance/exit points. Like I said it's a lot bigger than I was expecting. I didn't expect 3 large structures. The Yoshi area seems really tall in that concept art.

Yes, at least one of the castles will be a ride facade

 

[rhino4evr]

I think having two Mario castles is over doing it a bit. If they are going to do two castles then maybe do Hyrule castle?

Because Zelda isn't included in this land.
