No chance as that would make ours drastically different from Japan’s.

I was just thinking today, yeah they have nintendo but maybe they dont have enough??
For now, do not expect the Nintendo films to have an effect across the main three in development, Orlando/Osaka/Hollywood.
Odds are, they just wanted to have Nintendo headline Gate IV, which makes sense when you consider the fat plumber.
Was thinking that may be a factor...but I would never say never. Illumination and Universal Pictures may be working alongside Universal Creative to keep a similar style in the production of both the ride and the movie. I'm not saying these rides will be based off the story of the movies but instead just to be in the same style, to create some uniformity. I think it would kind of be awkward if we have a Mario in a ride that looks different than a Mario in a hit movie that is going to spawn sequels for who knows how long.
Just because Nintendo and Illumination are working on a film Mario-oriented film, it doesn't mean that they are deep into pre production.
That said, both UC and Nintendo are on different intervals of time, as UC and Nintendo have been working together on the SNW projects since 2015 (and even before that, if you count the pitches), meanwhile, we only got existence of the Illumination/Nintendo last November.
I would imagine that while they are working on Mario, it isn't as a priority as per say, Pets 2 and Grinch, due to time frames of development. And that, I would imagine that Illumination is working closely with Nintendo Execs to ensure that whatever is being worked on, is as faithful as it can be.
But to bring it back to SNW, I would expect to be not see any form of a presence of the Illumination project (or the Legendary Pokemon projects) for SNW.

You do know that Comcast owner of Universal Parks and Resorts is larger and worth more than Walt Disney Corporations. Look at there assets, equity, or even worth period. They just outbid Disney in cash 65 billion to 52 billion (Disney in stock) while Simultaneously outbidding Fox for Sky with a 31 billion dollar bid more than 16 percent over fox. They have the money and they enjoy using it. They see there parks as a future cash cow and will invest what it takes. And as for those saying “well they are getting help with their Beijing Park”, yeah so did Disney with Shanghai it’s not actually a choice for the operators be it disney, universal or a production company looking to use China for a shoot the Chinese government makes it a requirement for their involvement in the operations, financing and revenue sharing.
If the new film affects anything, it would be the design of the character costumes for meet and greets. The rides will be based on the games, which is the wiser, more timeless choice obviously.
What about something like Energylandia's Hyperion? It might create a small sightline issue from some areas, but it can be covered up. I mean, c'mon! This thing looks incredible.

Yeah, Universal can afford to build a fully immersive park and should. Don’t go cheap on a giant steel unthemed coaster just because.

I would expect that at Six flags/ cedar point. A brand new Universal park built now? No.
I mean, they're literally about to start building an "unthemed" steel coaster.

At the current park which already has them. I’m saying this park should be different. The coasters there need to be more new HP/Everest and less Hulk.
Eh, bit of a different situation. That's not really big.
I think you're still gonna end up with a coaster or two like Hulk/new JP project. Every Universal park has at least one.
This, exactly. I would rather have Universal save their money for other things, which is why I suggested Flying Dinosaur and Hyperion.
I think it would be hilarious if Universal was the first Florida park to have a giga
And Universal's dark rides are way more expensive than a coaster
And Universal's dark rides are way more expensive than a coaster
Exactly. Save the money for the dark rides.
And, Hyperion isn't technically a giga lmao. It's a hyper.
