Which begs the question...Were there any updates done to the Osaka version? I know Universal delayed construction, perhaps to include more stuff.
Honestly, I don't see a world where getting rid of Mummy & NOT replacing it with DK coaster would be a good move. That would be so idiotic. Unless they have something else up their sleeve. Knowing Universal, they will be most likely give us another SCREENZ ride to compensate for the loss of Mummy.
Also the Nintendo plot in Japan fits Hollywood's plot very well in size. I think whatever we see in Japan will be identical to what we see in Hollywood...with very little adjustments.
The only thing we know about SNW in Japan is that it's getting the Mario Kart ride right? Nothing else has really been confirmed AFAIK.
Yes, so far it's confirmed Mario Kart will be coming to all Universal parks. However, other Nintendo attractions are coming to the parks at least for SNW in Japan, which will be the basis for SNW in L.A. and Orlando.
I know I’m :deadhorse: but...That's my understanding as well. From what insiders are saying, a Yoshi dark ride is happening in a 3 parks.
The big, fat ? is if Donkey Kong is going to Japan/USH.
I feel like most the GP are going to forget ROTM exists the moment they see SNW...I know I’m :deadhorse: but...
The GP is not going to take SNW very well if the roller coaster is not replaced with a coaster. They have to compensate for something.

The Mummy ride in L.A. sucks balls compared to Orlando and even more than the Indiana Jones ride at DL. I wouldn't really want to miss it at all and USH should take a chance of expanding the queue and building should ROMT be removed for SNW especially DK roller coaster.

Freak dropping the truth bombs.
Also, as someone who isn't interested in visiting the parks in Orlando, I could care less if their Mummy version is better or not. All I know is that Mummy is a fun coaster that fills a need in USH. Getting rid of it without a replacement coaster is a big LOSS in my book.
Can't Universal get rid of one their SCREENZ ride instead of Mummy?
:thumbsup:Considering Springfield just got expanded, Forbidden Journey is Potter, Minions/Despicable Me is Universal's Child, DWT will be the newest thing, and Transformers...is an oddity.
I would imagine it still sells enough to stay as it is, and they need more than just one attraction in the LL when things hit the fan and Mummy/Panda/Restrooms/Studio Cafe closes (Not to mention the rumors of JP closing).
I would say Transformers is safe.

I'm going to drop a bomb, as I do intend on saying this, and have gotten permission to do so,
In the time-frame between D23 to now, they have made changes to the game-plan of Super Nintendo World, not just in Orlando, but also now for Osaka and Hollywood.
If they weren't having alterations, Kidzone would've been down by now and Osaka would've been further along than getting to work in Late January on footers.
Add Soundstage 22-25 to the mystery, and the changes that seem to be ongoing, and the rest can be said in one word: Re-Structuring.
I would love to be proven wrong by @Chris, but that I have heard that SNW has changed, by multiple accounts.
And that one of the changes that I can confirm, is more that Donkey Kong is coming to Hollywood, in some shape.

I still expect Mummy to go bye bye. However, Universal is looking at $$$ rather than replace a coaster with a coaster. Remember the only reason Mummy came to existence for Hollywood was because of the need to entice local guests after 9/11 and the tourist downturn. Those days are long gone and Nintendo is going to be a bigger hit than Potter in terms of Universal's confidence. In other words... "spared no expense!"
Hi, newbie here! Is the implication here that The Mummy will be removed -after- Jurassic Park re-opens? And, maybe I missed this, but do we know around when that would be?Nintendo wanted changes...so Japan stalled and Kids Zone is saved yet again. Hollywood still has yet to remove Mummy, but I can imagine that is why JPRA remodel was fast tracked for 2019.
No matter what, Mummy is going the way of the Jaws Orlando. There is no question about that, along with 33-37, the rehearsal hall, and 41-44.
It's just of the manner of time, as we still don't have all of the Red Sea SS's completed yet, so that may be a thing to look into.
