If it’s a huge success, it doesn’t matter but I think it’s wise to start on your strongest foot to gauge just how popular and how big they can go with Nintendo.

I think Nintendo will be well spread out among the 3 parks but I think it needs to start with Super Mario World.

I always thought spreading three properties over two parks with overlaps to hit all three parks would be smart.

Potter: USF and IOA
Dreamworks: USF and Park 3
Nintendo: Park 3 and IOA

Not really. Hyrule would always be in Hogsmeade’s shadow if it went into LC, and it’d be a little too similar to HP as well. LC is also very narrow, with almost no expansion space. You also can’t build a coaster, water-ride/boat-ride, or use the KUKA-Arm system, which would fit the IP perfectly IMO.

What? Lol. Of course you could build literally any of those rides. Anything that happens is going to be a complete knockdown/rebuild of the land. They can do whatever they want. The remaining LC is like 9 acres. Also, be realistic, Zelda ain't gonna get a space bigger than the LC wherever it's built.

I just don't see how it correlates? Because Zelda isn't going to draw as much as Mario or Pokemon in either situation

I love how fast we all turn the excitement back on when we think there's something happening here.

Looking on the bright side, it shows how we are hopeful of something happening; as opposed to nothing happening.

Considering how they are moving forward with UOSouth (along with Hogsmeade Coaster for IOA and JW for USH), Hype Thrusters are adequate here on IU.

Huge coincidence that this thread got bumped as (just today) Sinbad actors and technicians have been called for a mandatory meeting tonight.

I’m not saying that because of space limitations, I’m saying that because the park already has too much of them. We’ll have four coasters if JP ever does come to pass, we already have three water rides, and it wouldn’t make sense to have two KUKA-Arm systems right next-door to each other.

As for the acres that LC resides on, like I said, it’s very narrow. Zelda is known for having broad, open landscapes (see BOTW). It might not get more than 9 acres in the new park, but it sure as hell will be more open.

...but you can make it "more open" when you knock it down to build something completely new? :lol:

You have Seuss and Potter right next door, which need to maintain their sightlines. And, saying this for the third time now, LC is very narrow.

If this is the beginning of an LC re-theme, then it seems out of place when Hogsmeade has major construction happening as we speak and KidZone needs desperate help.

Okay? I'm not seeing a problem.

But it's not? It only feels that way because the paths are designed that way.

Perhaps operations costs for Sinbad/Poseidons, alongside lack of interest in the area could be the cause of why they may go forward with this?

I'll be honest, the only time I spend more than the few minutes it takes to walk through LC is when I eat at Mythos

Because guests complain more about this in surveys than KidZone.

If this is really happening this time, then that means that they’ll probably aim to have this open in 2021. But that leaves JP as the odd man out, because the coaster seems to have been delayed. Or maybe a JP expansion isn’t happening at all anymore?

I'm 100 percent on board with it either way. It's just interesting to me, especially with the news KFP may not be going into KidZone anymore.
