I think Design Development phase is well and done. They should be moving onto next steps by now.I'm not sure the designs are set...
Lots of job postings for various design and engineer jobs related to Nintendo in the last few months, ones that would presumably have say on the larger look/layout of the land beyond just tweaking a predetermined concept.

I guess it's possible they ran into issues with that plot and are looking to relocate, but that's gonna mean we have to wait longer. So I choose to believe it's on target for KidZone and on schedule.
Yea, plans were definitely not final as of a month or two ago. But still a lot of work has been done. I'd say they're probably ready to clear and should be build ready by the time KidZone is leveled.I feel like Kidzone is still very likely, but the implication seems to be the reason we dont have concept art for Orlando yet is because the final details of the layout and how it will look isnt finalized for Orlando yet.
What if Nintendo isnt going to Kidzone and rather being the anchor for the new park while Dreamworks/Illumations takes over Kidzone?

I think Nintendo is set for 2020/2021 to counter WDW's anniversary stuff and new rides like Tron/Guardians. Plus, to really cement UO as a vacation destination (that can do more than just Potter well.)Do we have a timetable for the 3rd park?
Originally, it seemed like Nintendo was going to directly counter SWL. That's not going to happen anymore. It looks like T2 replacement + HP Coaster (and F&F in a way) will take its place. In my mind, this means that Nintendo is going to take on the role of Avatar. Something that pops up a couple (emphasis on couple) years later to rival SWL now that some of the hype has died down.
I don't think Universal could build an entire new park in that time. Especially with all of the transit infrastructure they'll probably have to build.
You've got my curiosity nowConnect this with the Shrek closing rumor, add in a DMMM closing rumor, and sprinkle in the front of park redesign rumor and you could be on to something.
Please no. I can't wait that long!!!I don't think he's blowing smoke...but I think some wires are getting crossed. I'm still sticking with Phase 1 of Nintendo going there. AFAIK the designs are more or less set, utility and construction planning are done, and from what I've heard TMs have been informed about impending relocations. Could all of this have changed in the past week or two? Sure. Do I think they did? No. As of last word all they're waiting for is the end of HHN to really start moving.
I think the talk of more Nintendo for other parks may be mucking up the works, but of course my gut feeling on today's posts could be wrong and Uni's decided to make Nintendo them flagship property for Park 3. Who knows.
If KidZone is still up and running with no announced closures by the end of 2017, you'll have your answer
That's what Pokémon could be as well.The only other option that I think they may seriously consider is Park 3. It's such a huge IP that saving it as a Potter-level draw to the South resort could be a smart idea, especially because IMO none of the proposed other Gate 3 IPs (FB, DreamWorks, etc) have that draw.

As long as it's on the same timeline I don't care much where it goes.
I think USO needs it more than the new park will though. The new park will bring it plenty of guests by itself just being an all new park while USO needs the rides that SNw will have.
