Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Imperius]

Food festivals I get (tho really will depend on the themes of the worlds), but I can't imagine any park being better for a youth-skewing Halloween event than the one with the Grinch, Hogsmeade and super-heroes. Maybe the new park frees IoA up to do a complimentary hard-ticket event to HHN?

I mean the new park will probably have Nintendo, Dreamworks and more kid related IPs. Seems perfect for Halloween also.

SNW will Flagship UOSouth at Launch, with 1 additional thing that no-one is guessing

I don’t think anyone here knew we had to guess. Do you have insider information that you feel you cannot share at this time?

Giving a guess from the gist of things at hand, from both sides of the coin and not entirely of purely one.

I think Zelda will go into the new park for it's opening.

Funny enough, @Alicia mentioned of them being involved as a part of the little play-area's in some capacity; if I'm not mistaken.

I still don’t get how Pikmin managed to make it into the plans

Miyamoto loves Pikmin

This. People forget(or maybe just don't know XD) that Pikmin is Shiggy's pet franchise.

I think people will be surprised by how large Nintendo’s fan base is. There are so many ip’s in there house. I’m surprised that Metroid is not planned.Universal truly got ahold of a money maker.

Metroid would fit better in USF, in my opinion. It’s the perfect MIB replacement.

And Mario would make a better icon than Mickey any day. IMHO

Nintendo has tons of fans yes. Metroid does not. Not every Nintendo IP deserves a spot in the parks.

Plus they’re small and easy to hide around. It’s not like there’s a major Pikmin attraction coming.

Even if there aren’t attractions I wouldn’t be surprised to see other characters like Captain Falcon and Samus pop up in one small way or another. Maybe M&Gs somewhere?

Meet and greets are the best place for them. Attractions? Nah.

Yeah I edited that in. A Metroid ride would be amazing though and F-Zero would be the perfect excuse for all the coaster fans to have their thrill machine. I know there’s no chance though even if there are examples of amazing rides made from forgotten or irrelevant IP.

Metroid is one of the three big ips Nintendo makes most of its money with. Mario Zelda Metroid. Every Nintendo game system it is required/expected to get a new game of each. Without those Nintendo would be bankrupt.

It’s Mario, Pokémon, and Zelda... Metroid is way down the list.

Pokémon isn’t a Nintendo franchise, or it isn’t made by Nintendo themselves at least.
