They better not just "retheme" the Woody coaster to Nintendo. Nintendo deserves better than that. These rumors sound crazy.

Exactly. That's part of the reason that guy's rumors don't, except for the general ones that everyone knows about, seem viable. There's no way Nintendo agrees to something like a reborn Woody coaster. Universal won over Nintendo by being unique & creative, not being Six Flagish, cheap, or carnival like.

 

[IzzyB]

Yeah as soon as I read the re-theme of the coaster I know most of these rumors were bull.

Amen.

Yeah, JK Rowling would never accept a mere retheming of a family coaster to her sto...

I mean, it's still a pretty good kiddie coaster. I don't think there's a reason for them to throw it in the trash if they could repurpose it.

 

[Mike S]

I would love the Avengers one to be true.

really if anything they should just close fival and the extended Que for ET and build another ride there.I would rater Nintendo land be put into a third park then to get squeezed into kid-zone.

A different time and a different place.

There will be no squeezing. This would be like thinking Diagon was "squeezed" into where it is.

Hey guys Attractions Magazine put up a rumor queue for 2016 and they said a source contacted them and revealed that universal intends to demolish ET because rather than invest in a refurbishment they would use that space for Nintendo. I thought that was interesing what do you all think.

Hey Tycoon,

If you look at some the responses above, you can see how some people felt about that specific rumor.

Paywall

Safe....

 

[Scott W.]

Paywall

Search for: Steven Spielberg likely staying with Universal parks past 2017 on google and open the first link to Orlando Sentinel and it will bypass the paywall. This works for every news website with a paywall too.

Thanks!

I thought that as well for a while but Nintendo isn't just a single IP, it's several. So putting a couple into Kidzone and seeing how well they perform could lead to bigger and better things down the road at a 3rd park.

Even if the rides aren't great, it's going to be a wild success from merchandise alone.

 

[JoeCamel]

I wonder if Steven gets hit by a bus if the estate gets the lump sum? Would like to see that contract..

Zing!

I wish Steven would push for a refurb for ET. And, ahem, a new intro film.
