It would be a fun shop for sure...But there really isn't anything that lends itself to an engaging "ride" with Animal Crossing...

Maybe not an exciting ride, but I think it could be engaging if it's something like Nav'i River Journey, where you're just encountering scenes and going with the flow. All you need is a slow-moving ride vehicle to sit on and some cute animals to look at. Obviously, this would only work as a side addition that balances out more energetic or exciting rides, rather than a must-do attraction in its own right.

I could think of a more interesting boat ride with cute animals from Nintendo :tease:

I actually had a dream once where I went on a Pokemon Snap ride. Only one problem, it was just Animal Kingdom's Dinosaur, but with Pokemon.

Just to show the growth of this last one. How big of a deal is 'Animal Crossing'? It had the biggest launch of any Nintendo Switch game, including 'Mario' and 'Zelda.'

Everyone was also bored at home when it launched.

Yes, it would have done well without the current situation

But you can't deny that it certainly helped

Honestly, I think the best way to incorporate Animal Crossing into SNL would be to do it more subtly. Maybe have some of the festivities that AC usually puts on during major holidays (like our beloved Bunny Day) bleed over into SNL when the rest of the park is celebrating the real-ish thing. Could always play around with Tom Nook deciding to "expand" his vacation operation to the park and sending guests on scavenger hunts for Nook Miles/Bells ala the Wilderness Explorer hunt at DAK (maybe even tie it into the SNL app by having the interface when you're doing the hunt resemble the NookPhone's?).

Beyond that, if we're thinking bigger, I think the best option would be either to do a restaurant or shop. With the restaurant, you could do it as a slight riff on Happy Home Designer and have it be a very picturesque bistro/coffee shop (maybe ran by Isabelle or one of the other villagers?) with foodstuffs themed after villagers (and "their" recipes) along with a much more low-key mood compared to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the land. Bonus points if every so often you get a "surprise" performance from K.K. Slider himself, either via screen or animatronic. With a shop, I'd say to have it be a smaller, basic needs kiosk "owned" by Tom, or maybe give Epic Universe its equivalent of the Prop Shop at Universal Studios proper via Redd deciding to set up shop. There, you could have not just bits and bobs from the park (and the movies that inspired the lands) for sale, but potentially rare Nintendo merchandising either from the company's history, or simply just exclusive to Redd's domain.

www.theverge.com

Minecraft still incredibly popular as sales top 200 million and 126 million play monthly

Minecraft continues to dominate YouTube charts after 11 years.

If Universal ever wants to expand their video game park catalog (AKA more than Nintendo), Minecraft would definitely be the way to go. 200 million copies sold. 126 million active players a month.

Surprised nobody has picked it up yet tbh.

Which is probably why it hasn't been approached. :lol: Minecraft is definitely a big name, but a land based around the franchise sounds like a boring, wet fart.

Unless you’re building a store or some kind of meet & greet or walkthrough Animal Crossing doesn’t really lend itself to a theme park.

I could imagine some sort of themed M&G dining with the popular cast of Animal Crossing. No idea about the food, but cute characters in a nature inspired space with air conditioning might go over well.

It's a simulator, and the camera always points out the Karen haircuts before every ride.

To get back on topic.

Has anything been said about a possible parade? I just can't see a suitable route on the concept art and I can't remember anything about a parade storage warehouse.

I’ve been informed by a couple separate individuals that a parade building is planned for later... but I have no clue where a parade route would/could possibly go lol.

There’s a couple spots closer to the entrance that make sense for the buildings. It’s the possible routes I find befuddling.
