First I've heard of this plan, but I could see the areas for rides (Barney, Parade Building, Curious George, & Woodpecker) closes first with Animal Actors closing later.

I think I would have been very ok with F&F getting shelved and replaced by a temporary kidzone.
But then again, everything I read about Mario Kart makes F&F look completely obsolete.

Yeah Mario Kart and Star Wars are going to make all previous rides look very bad it seems.
It makes good sense. :thumbsup: We talked about this on the IU (OU) Forums a number of times, suggesting that exact same scenario.
Closing the area that will be for Mario makes the most sense. It's the most intensive ride to build, while the front of the land is just shops and such.
No. Staggered as "Closing" as when necessary to avoid cutting into the park's lineup and capacity. No impact on opening.
If they close Curious George and demo the parade building and the offices where the old Hard Rock was they can get to work on DK and MK. The shops and such should take less time, so they can demo Fievel and Animal Actors later.
Question is when they get rid of Barney to start Yoshi
No, that's not happening. I read on the internet that Woody would never leave :shifty:
I'm always late to the party...I'm having a hard time understanding how an immersive ride can be interactive at the same time. Has it been confirmed that MK will be truly interactive and not like mission space? I was under the impression that conveniently our cars wont get bombs, bananas, shells(things that need to be triggered), but instead stars, mushrooms etc. So many questions right now
I'm guessing Yoshi replaced Hyrule in the USF plans we see in the leak
Brian G = Verbal Kent/Keyser Soze (he is the architect of all of this)
Teebin = Dean Keeton
Mad Dog = Fenster
Jungle Skip = McManus
The rest of us are supporting characters. I'm probably one of the chumps on the boat who get gunned down after a second of screentime.
Nothing, theoretically

Nothing. The fact they could cram 7 attractions and a plethora of interactive and play areas in that space without sacrificing ET made me giddy. Rework ETs entrance, use that expansion plot, and go to town. They'll need ET with the 20% jump in Attendance.
As long as they use that same amount of space and the different levels, I'll be more than happy with whatever IPs they pick. If they cut the expansion pad and don't do levels- essentially cutting the land in half, I'll be a little bummed.
If Zelda becomes yoshi, that's fine. But technically, couldn't Kirby become yoshi also? I mean, there's all those different colored yoshi looking things, right? There's your carousel that was at Kirby. And a water area.
What's another major Mario universe character they could squeeze in there? With Zelda and Kirby both gone, that leaves yoshi and... ?
Oddly enough, the thing that hasn't really been discussed much is that DK ride. Holy crap- to see the concept art of the jumping/second track is ridiculous. I'm guessing, based on the size, it won't be an intense ride, and likely have a small height requirement- but the uniqueness of that effect will really make it fun. Clearly not a "thrill" on the level of hulk/DC, or even Gringotts- but certainly something fun to do with the family. I can already see myself saying "WHOA" and looking at my kids reactions for the "jumps"
Well Yoshi's a dark ride, so that's why I figured it'd replace the Hyrule area
The original plans were fantastic but looking at it now, it was kinda unrealistic especially with one restuarant so I guess my excitement is back up. So with the amount of space left due to the attractions that were on the plan that are now not. are the plans for Yoshi, Mario, and DK now larger in size and scope? Especially if there are no flat rides anymore?

The flats would help a tremendous amount. USF desperately needs some flat attraction beyond Kang and Kodos (which isn't all the appealing to toddlers).
UOR has been making a pretty strong push into the family demo- so I don't necessarily see them neglecting them here.
