Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Nick]

gotta be honest i have no idea who Star Fox is

And that's exactly why he isn't getting a ride. The character isn't mainstream enough and has largely been ignored since the N64 with a few exceptions.

 

[Teebin]

All lands will have Mario Kart, but I'm pretty sure there's a Bowser's Castle dark ride? Maybe that is MK.

How about one in the same...

USH has Kart, obviously, but I've heard rumors that the Yoshi boat ride may be their secondary.

Where did this rumor of a boat ride come from?

 

[Brer Oswald]

You do have to wonder if that's what Universal would use as a reference point since they clearly used 3D Land/World for Mario but even then Mario is still pretty consistent with art style while Zelda isn't.

3D Land and 3D World seem to be the generic Mario art style, but it seems weird that they would base the land off of the weakest selling games in the franchise.

 

[Brer Oswald]

Maybe the jetpack thing could be related to Metroid. Like it could be that you are Samus and are given a jetpack.

It could even be based around the Federation Force game. That game has a four player mode and in the picture from the patent it shows 8 people flying around.


Do you guys think they released this announcement because that article was published in the Orlando Business Journal?

What if that art isn't very similar to how it will end up looking, but they wanted to get an official statement out because they wanted an official statement out if people were starting to discuss the rides so they used that art with the statement?

Federation Force? I don't think they want to piss off the fan base any more.

Do you know who Metroid is? I still don't know y Metroid can't crawl

@Teebin Are you one of the main sources for these rumours?

The more I look at this Castle, the more I think it's the enterance to the Mario Kart ride.

guys, all this back and forth about "castle" and "trees", but the real question is whether this is a bathroom or a store??? (also is that a defibrillator)

I dont know what a Metroid or Star Fox is.

Is it a bathroom? A store? A ride exit? Many people think Bowser's Castle is not a ride facade, but an entrance to the land.

 

[Imperius]

Ehh. I don't see Bowser's being the entrance due to small children being possibly scared to enter.

I'd say exit of the Mario Kart ride.

Teebin is always a primary source for rumors. He rarely speaks of that which he does not know. His accuracy rate is stunning. About the only times he may have been wrong is when Universal changed plans in mid stream, which is understandable. Or when he's playing with the minds of UC.

Breath of the Wild*

Man, I hate when autocorrect changes a word you actually typed correctly into something else completely.

 

[illumination]

I like the idea of having multiple structures as focal points instead of just 1 big castle. I'd rather have several medium sized structures. Makes it more unique.

If they announced a Metroid ride but then said it was based on crap known as Federation Farce I would be beyond angry. The game would've screwed me twice.

Jungle Skip has also been contributing inside info since the area's conception..... One of the concepts they've both talked about, since way before this concept art, is that aspects of the land will be built vertical.

GameXplain did one of their famous analysis videos on the concept art.
