Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Ashhanbre]

Splatoon for me would work better as a Men in Black type ride. The hard part would be coming up with a way to enter the paint and slide through it like they do in the game.

Structure it as a hydro fighter (suspended, free-swinging seats) with projection mapped impacts. Putting you high and over the "battle ground" makes a new type of shooter and can enhance the speed of the game.

Couldn't this just easily be a shooter ride to take over the mantle of MIB when it inevitably goes?

Nah. MIB can’t leave.

 

[quinnmac000]

Indoor four track kiddie dueling coasters with projection mapping and water cannons to simulate paint.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

 

[Mike S]

Now apply that to a laser tag like arena.

 

[JungleSkip]

Nah. MIB can’t leave.

Oh it certainly can

 

[jrn14]

Oh it certainly can

No it can't

 

[AlexanderMBush]

No it can't

All things come and go. I've learned that long ago.

Men in Black, isn't a timeless IP. It's far from that. Unless if the reboot does the franchise wonders to bring it back, I would rather want that showbuilding used for something unique.

That said, perhaps that should be saved for it's own separate area that isn't Nintendo related?

Is it too much to ask for Pokemon to be saved for a spot that it can be fully fleshed out and not left dangling as one aspect?

You responded quickly Alex...Did you watch the whole video?

I've seen enough versions of the Pokemon theme, from chipnote, to solo instruments, to full on orchestras, and then just pure salt versions that I won't mention.

To be honest, this is my bitter side pouring in.

If you have it be a row of seats suspended below a track like on an inverted coaster, then you can somehow make the seats tilt partially forward like what happens after loading on a B&M flying coaster. Accelerate slightly, add lighting and sound effects, and I think it could work for ink swimming.

Is it possible that the south park will have all three major Nintendo IP's? It sounds like Berk might replace LC, at least to me.

I think this is far more likely than Zelda showing up at IoA or something. Nintendo is weird, and probably wants their stuff centralized, at least their big stuff

 

[sonoma15]

I would say MIB and splatoon are about the same popularity, with MIB a little more popular.

 

[Magic-Man]

If that's the case, the new park will probably be 60% Nintendo, 20% Dreamworks, 20% Middle Earth (if it comes to the park). That would be awesome. And a little insane .

If that's the case: Universal's Land of Kingdoms is a great name for it.

I'm going to against the grain and say that I actually think it's much more likely that Mario, Zelda, and potentially smaller things like Kirby and Splatoon are all mixed together in Park 3, and Pokemon ends up being the one that's separate. I wouldn't be surprised if Game Freak wants the theme park money, but wants to be its own separate thing from SNW. If that's the case, it could easily go in TL, KidZone, or even LC.
