Super Nintendo World - Hollywood (General Discussion)

I mean, the Soundstage is going to come down for Nintendo, correct? Because if that's true that's adding to the land and possibly more coming down with it. This could just be prep since they can't take SS55 down right now.

 

[HereWeGo]

Are we sure that the cleared land is for SNW? It looks awfully small.

The rumor is that they will also be knocking down SS 16-20. At least, that's what I've heard.

So then, if you combine that with Stage 50 (ST) & the plot of SS31, alongside the plot of SS28; that gives you about give or take 6.31.

Soo essentailly a different take on Osaka's size.

I don't think 55 is coming down any time soon. With the Globe Theatre gone, it's the only event/flex space the park has.

Would that be enough space for us to have DK? I’ve never seen the original plan so I’m not sure how much space would be needed for Mario Kart and DK.

No. You'd need around 8-9 acres for the DK ride to be included as it was originally permitted for Orlando.

Allegedly that ride has been given a bigger scope tho, so IDK what size it is now

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Thinking about size, we do need to look at Osaka for seeing just how large MarioKart's building is seeming so far.

Holy hades that's MASSIVE. Looks like it's as big as Battle Escape's showbuilding!

 

[Paulio]

Holy wow man, that building's so massive for a MK ride.

If anything, it proves Universal is going all out on a Nintendo IP like MarioKart, but yeah; it seems ridiculously massive.

 

[Magic-Man]

I think that the ride experience has been upgraded, because that definitely wouldn’t have fit in KZ.

It's being built on a plot of land that's smaller than KidZone.

 

[Alicia]

Remember, the KidZone plans took over some backstage areas too... The Mario Kart building was going to have a similar footprint as ET Adventure (excluding the Bowser castle facade entrance,) but taller.

Not quite. If my calculations from Google Earth combined with an aerial photo are correct, the show building should have a footprint of about 40,000 sq ft, assuming it's a two story you'd get about 80,000 sq ft of floor space. Although all of Battle Escape show building is the height of a two story structure, the queue will just have a super tall ceiling. Therefore, the square footage of Battle Escape is around 120,000 sq ft.

Here's the outline I drew combined with the aerial I drew it from (sorry about resolution, had to shrink to get under 2 MB):

@Alicia Could you confirm this is the correct shape of the building?

I don't think it's the entire footprint yet. Looks like they were going up in phases. I'd love to see a newer aerial view now.

EDIT: Call me crazy, but I was expecting something more like this:

 

[JungleSkip]

I don’t think that’s the entirety of the MK building? Pretty sure the final product is rectangle shaped

Edit: Jinx

With that outlook, we get about 80,000 sq ft footprint. Something tells me the Japan and Orlando versions are different though. Is the Orlando version supposed to have a second floor?

Yes.

 

[Orlandofan12]

Yes.

Actually, I remember now, I was having a convo with an insider a few months ago (not sure if they want me to reveal their name) and he confirmed to me that there are two versions of the ride. One for Kidzone and one for the new gate. The new gate version was apparently single story and the Kidzone two stories to make it more compact.
