Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[randompixel]

Maybe they're just dusting off these old plans!

:tease:

Only 5 miles away from where the site of the London Resort / Ex-Paramount park is meant to be going. That area must be prime theme park central. Good for those coming from Europe - a bit rubbish for those living in the rest of the UK.

I have no hopes for that Paramount Park (Now just London Resort as Paramount have pulled out) ever being created.

There is a giant hole in the market that a major resort park could support but they just have to commit to it.

As much as I would love a resort type area, (Alton Towers tried but would need a lot more before I can call it a "resort") even with all the extra support infrastructure I don't think the London Resort is the right place for it, can't see it coping with the extra traffic very well.

Miyamoto is very precise when he states that 'interiors will be starting on a full-scale operation' I like that a lot. He is very, very well informed. I even expect Nintendo will work their Universal Theme park existence is some of their games.

Nintendoland needs a JK Rowling type around

One thing I’m super excited for has to be the area music, especially with DK. I really hope we’re going to get tracks like these:

I am sure they are even more around than JK. That in itself is very exciting because theme parks do their best work when the ip owner is on their back all the time. I have never been a fan of Nintendo games but my hype is trough the roof for this, that says a lot.

Nintendo has the benefit of being only 30 minutes away from USJ as their HQ is in Kyoto. There is way more collaboration on this project than Potter and it will show.

I vehemently disagree with @Alicia's choice on Zelda attractions, but here is a great video

I just want a dark boat ride at Universal Orlando. Literally any property, I will always suggest dark boat ride... (except Madagascar, that is not very good, but anything else).

I still think Jurassic World works best.

“There’s triceratops and tyrannosaurs
Stegosauruses, velociraptors.
When they come out to play
It’s time to run away
From Jurassic World.

Welcome to Jurassic World.
Welcome to Jurassic World.
You will not catch a break
If the dinos escape
In Jurassic (assic) World.”

I think Japan more than likely will not get Pokémon and it will be

Spoiler

Splatoon, its a huge money mover in JP for Nintendo.

Pokémon merch will not be unique to USJ as there are already Pokémon Centers all over the major cities of Japan including Osaka already.

I'm torn with what they should/could do with a potential Zelda based attraction.

At it's base, I want to be able to experience a bit of all the major locales of Hyrule (Kakariko Village, Death Mountain, Zora's Domain, Faron Woods, a Dungeon or sorts etc.). But at the same time I want something more thrilling than a dark boat ride.

Kuka arm based attraction ala FJ would work but by the time we get something Zelda based we'll probably be all Kuka'd out (if they are indeed using it for DK as well).

So I'm at a bit of a loss to think of what they might do other than a dark boat ride that meanders through the different locales.

My blue sky idea for a Zelda E-ticket was some sort of Indiana Jones type ride where we enter the Temple of Time and through some relic or another are transported into different moments in the series with a portal or something dividing scene from scene

The Epona motor cycle was poorly received by the masses (although I thought it was cool) so I don't think we'll be seeing it.....

I do like JungleSkip's idea.

I think a boat ride can work....theme it to wind waker!!! I think that would be even more fun.

I think a Zelda ride has to have some semblance of action and excitement, and I don't think a boat ride can convey that.
