Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[anihilnation]

It is a pity Bayonetta is not a Nintendo IP, that would be an awesome meet and greet

I also hope Nintendo will eventually be used for HHN, a 3D boo house would be awesome!

There will be family friendly, and more thrilling, aspects to Nintendo. It's going to really pull 30 years of fans of various ages to that area.

I heard they are still working out the kinks on how Mario Cart will work. Something along the lines of being interactive like a mixture of Harry Potter FJ and Toy Story Midway Mania. Like if you shoot a shell at another cart they will start spinning around and etc.

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

Interactivity has been what will set this project apart from the beginning. I don't know specifics but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[JungleSkip]

No Yoshi as a focus, and not just Mario properties.

:wave:

Roughly how many rides can we expect, and a rough date? Head to head with Star Wars?

My mind can't even process how good Orlando will be by WDWs 50th in 2021

Three rides, 2018.

Well, half right.:wink:

 

[snayberry]

Well, half right.:wink:

So the Yoshi, Mario Cart and Donkey Kong rides aren't correct?

No Yoshi rides unless something has majorly changed very recently. There are more than 2 rides, though.

 

[anihilnation]

Well, half right.:wink:

So 6 rides

 

[JungleSkip]

So 6 rides

Hah, no. I meant that the 2018 part was correct.

Can you clarify what you mean by "rides"? There is Escape from Gringotts and then there is Twirl 'n' Hurl. Both are rides.

 

[anihilnation]

Hah, no. I meant that the 2018 part was correct.

I know, was just joking.
Would 4-5 rides be possible if a few were flat , or is that defintely not in the plans?

 

[JungleSkip]

Right. There's a little from column A and a little from column B.

 

[mainejeff]

I expect 2 "Universal" rides and a few well themed "off-the-shelf" rides.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Yeah, 2 E/D tickets and 2 flat rounds sounds ideal unless there's a coaster that goes into the land in which case there could be 3 E/D tickets.

 

[martymcflyy85]

Exciting stuff.

 

[anihilnation]

Donkey Kong: wooden coaster
Mario kart: something really amazing that will blow our minds
Zelda: dark ride

And what would be interesting is an indoor yoyo type ride themed to Kirby.

 

[snayberry]

I hope they blow my mind with this project.
