Lighten up Francis. It’s a joke.Yeah, because Avatar is a total ghost town because of how terrible it is.
Oh wait...

Yea, but unlike Avatar it’ll actually be worth the wait :bolt:
I mean I couldn’t care less if there are screens. 3 of my top 5 favorite rides in the world are screen based. (it also won’t be 7 years until it opens and there won’t be many screens)Bookmarking this page so I can quote it in 7 years if Nintendo sucks. Screenz
Sgt. Hulka quote?!... respect.Lighten up Francis. It’s a joke.
Just a fun survey question: Which SNW do you hope/want to visit first? Will you wait for Orlando’s version to open, or will you go to Osaka/Hollywood instead?
Announced in 2015. Will open in USJ in 2019/2020. So 4-5 years, not 7
I think you can safely rule out 2019. It's nowhere near that far along. But the point still stands.

Just for the sake of clarity, when was it confirmed by the company that Nintendo was coming - in some capacity - to Orlando? Was that not also sometime in 2015?

Yea, and it was also confirmed that it would open first in Osaka around 2020.
So, technically, Orlando's version still is going to rival Pandora in the time from announcement to opening. Granted, they were not originally accounting for the whole projecting shifting over to the next gate, so that's partially responsible for the elongated lead time.
If was going to be 2020 or 21 even without a move to the new park, then Pandora’s not a bad comparison. It still would’ve been 5-6 years.Yea, otherwise it would have been open in 2020 or 21. I think the comparison is a bad one.

For the record, Pandora was 5.5 years (Sept 2011 to May 2017), not 7.
So indeed, the analogy is perfectly reasonable for Osaka and actually a bad analogy for Orlando because that project was pushed back by 18 months to 2 years for completely different reasons.
5 years is a completely appropriate development cycle time when you announce something at the inception of a licensing partnership. People seem to forget Tom Staggs in September of 2011 literally said: "From start to finish, a project of this size and scope takes about 5 years to design and build. We can’t give you an exact date but we know that when it’s complete, it’s going to be a truly unforgettable experience."
So really this isn't all that surprising.
Welp, Screamscape just reported that Avatar might be added to Shanghai Disneyland. That was convenient.
Pandora at Shanghai will be just FoP and a downsized version, no need for River Journey.
Back to Nintendo, I'd rather put blame on Nintendo for telling Uni to announce so early. If it were Universal's decision it would still not have been announced.
To tide me over until the new land...

I'll finally play some Zelda and Donkey Kong games, (for the first time ever).
Oh I am very well adept to the Mario-verse. Love me some SMB3 especially. And I cannot wait to play SMW again, as that's one I've probably played the least through the years.Super Mario World is the best first step

I've just never really played much else.
