Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Tobias]

Is it? I imagine it will be rethemed, but what do I know...I'm just a park ranger

Considering Nintendo holds their IP's closer to their chests then Rowling does with Potter, they don't come off as a company that would settle for having their IP slapped onto a prexisting attraction. Not to mention if a retheme was to happen, that's something our scources would've said a long time ago.

 

[Mike S]

So is the 2020 timeline still good?

Yes. Even from the Spirited one over at Magic.

 

[Imperius]

That's all I care about.

Yes. This question popped up a year or so ago. At that time it was stated by insiders that Woodpecker was being torn down, not rethemed.

I wouldn't mind it being moved elsewhere on property. It's a decent kids coaster. Flying Hippogriff/Unicorn is better but it was nice to have one in both parks for families.

Or save it for the fourth park since there's not much available space at IOA or USO.

Upper portion of Central Park? Leaving lagoon viewing areas below.

Yea, not much room left for sure though.

I love Central Park. That would ruin it's calm ambiance.

Im right there with you. Just literally couldn't think of any other open space lol.

They could put it behind the new Coke thing and give it a Krustyland theme.

There you go.:thumbsup: They have all that wasted space back there and crowd stuff in other areas instead of using it. I don't understand why. Is it radioactive or something?

Perhaps this could go into Jurassic Park somewhere?

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Perhaps this could go into Jurassic Park somewhere?

Yeah. Tear it down, store it and use it in future Island of Adventure re-do/expansion.

I feel like Nintendo is going to contradict everything that universal is. Simpsons did the same thing, but it turned out pretty fine. But, Nintendo will be located almost beihung Hollywood which could ruin the skyline. Also, E.T is such a nice ride. The land will just be so colorful and bright which is not something that goes with all the realistic architecture universal has.

It's not behind Hollywood, and sight lines will not intrude. Nintendo will be bright, but not so much as you think... somewhat like Toon Lagoon

While I can see where you're coming from. I'm that hyped for it with everything that I've heard, I don't really care if it doesn't fit.

They hid Diagon Alley pretty well, I'm sure they know what they're doing! They'll be able to use the Simpsons show building to hide stuff behind and you don't see E.T ride building as it is now so it'll be fine!

0.0% chance anything in KidZone (excluding ET) stays. ET has a higher chance of staying. I've always thought the the kiddie coaster would be a good fit around Krustyland.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Nintendo will have a similar effect to Diagon where you can't see inside from the outside, vice versa.

Yep. And that will be great. The full immersion is what makes Diagon so outstanding.
