Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Thisguynamedlee]

Et is a classic I will admit but I'd take a new Nintendo ride any day , even if it was for kids

For me it's either they fix it and make it great or nix it and build something Nintendo that's great. Pick one Uni.

I would hope if they plan on replacing ET that they could reroute the entrance and keep ET open for a while after kidzone closes (at least until F&F opens)- then shut it down.
It's a no brainer if they're planning on keeping the building. Less so if it's getting demoed.

 

[Imperius]

If they remove ET, highly doubtful they keep the building.

 

[jrn14]

If it must close hopefully they can keep it open a little longer than the rest of kidzone while they prep the rest of the area. Like I said I will understand it, and if something great replaces it that would soften the blow.

 

[Imperius]

That could possibly happen. I think Universal would give people time to get last rides in beforehand.

 

[Imperius]

I need this to start construction now!

I feel like KidZone won't need a ton of advanced notice before it closes. This isn't like Jaws, which has a lot of goodwill in the community.

Now, if ET closes at the same time as the rest of KidZone, I imagine they'll give all of us a decent amount of notice.

Had to fix that for you

The kiddie area will close this fall according to a reliable source.

 

[Thisguynamedlee]

Nintendo has a bigger fan base then potter I would think, so both of them combined could lead to over crowded parks down the road possibly?

 

[Imperius]

Hmmm wonder when we will get our image of the park with the name then.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I would think ET building, if replaced, will be torn down since it's a very old structure.

 

[Bulldog45]

They had no problem getting rid of Jaws so I don't think they would hesitate to pull the trigger on E.T.

An online source or elsewhere? Just curious.

 

[tielo]

If a ride is getting to problematic to fix, like Kong, Jaws, Disaster and Twister, it's ok to replace it.
I would love to see a new, reimagined E.T. in the third park. With the use of a kuka arm the bikes could really take of from the ground keeping the technology out of view.

If this were 2008 we'd be talking a building refurb...Now the sky is the limit...Crazy how much space that building takes up

While I still don't buy that this is going into USF (putting that aside since we've already discussed it), why would they close that area 4 years before the Nintendo Land is expected to open? Even if Universal didn't have a track record of quick construction that's still a lot of time to go without those areas.
