I read on ScreamScape one of the rumored attractions for the Nintendo expansion pad will be an omnimover ride themed to Luigis mansion. Any other insider info on what other Nintendo IP could be in this expansion plot?

So DKC but Luigi’s Mansion, I love it. They’re doing Nintendo perfectly imo.

If Luigi happens ... hope they sell replicas of his vacuum like the new Minions ride does.
Minions blaster is a great price and well made.

The vacuum would also be great as a wand-like object that activates games in the mini-land. Something like Knockturn Alley but where you can vacuum up ghosts would be awesome.
I think having a new section of the USO app devoted to these rides would be fun. In the way that Villain-Con connects to the app and shows leaderboards and achievements, it would be a lot of fun for it to also serve as a Pokedex to connect to your physical Pokeball, showing all of your Pokemon that you've caught around the parks, allowing you to trade, to form your team before you pop back onto the ride, etc.
Less likely but just as cool to me is a part of the app devoted to the Luigi's Mansion ride a la Villain-Con themed to the Gameboy Horror. That'd be fun!

My guess has been reveal of the official names for all lands and (hopefully) logos for each. But not expecting too many finer details just yet.
Yes, be patient about releases. Universal will get more milage out of a slow trickle. There's still lots of time. And once the releases start, the momentum should build. This is a lot different than Universal Escape (IOA) opening. First, social media is a real force now. It barely existed back then. And second, the Universal theme park brand is so much stronger since Potter, and all those hotel builds. Third, Nintendo and Potter IP's will pull the crowds in, no doubt. The other stuff is the whipped topping on the dessert.

I could’ve sworn I saw the name Celestial Gardens going around… Celestial Park sounds a little weird with it being just one part of the park.
This is probably a little too early to ask this, but what should I expect from opening day if I intend to go? Other than crowds of course.
