And if Nintendo included two world class Family E-Ticket attractions; that had a better capacity than ET, would you still say no?

No what? No Nintendo will not be family themed rides or?
It's been said 0 screens will be involved in the project.the problem is does anyone actually think nintendo will be anything but coasters or screens. i dont see them ever building an animatronic mario or bowser

I mean I get closing ET hurts the "family ride" amount but it's not like people are planing trips to go ride ET. Most people wouldn't even know it's gone, while Nintendo will sell tickets.
I don't disagree that Nintendo is a better option than ET, but removing ET in the way that's being discussed here would be a completely unprecedented move on Universal's part and is contrary to what the insiders here are telling us anyway. While other attractions have had to make way for newer ones, that's really not what we're talking about here. The ET building takes up a fraction of the space supposedly allocated for Nintendo, and further there is vacant land on the other side if they really need more space.I mean I get closing ET hurts the "family ride" amount but it's not like people are planing trips to go ride ET.

Of course, I am just on the side where of UC feels they need the space and will use it for something better, close it down.Keeping ET open will not prevent Nintendo from being built. There are a number of other options if they want more land than the 8 acres available with KidZone minus ET. In the best of all worlds they can keep ET open and construct a Nintendo Land as large as their little creative hearts desire. They just need to be a bit "creative" about it.
Keeping ET open will be such a waste of potential space and what not. ET needs to go away with the rest of Kidzone. Why keep it in the condition it is in? The entire building needs a re-think.Keeping ET open will not prevent Nintendo from being built.

It would absolutely hurt the variety of attractions in Uni. No one will be going to uni just for the Fallon ride, doesn't mean they won't enjoy it.I mean I get closing ET hurts the "family ride" amount but it's not like people are planing trips to go ride ET.

I just feel like the park had a more cohesive movie magic feel to it. Now it's a jumbled mess.
Problem with ET, outside of need of refurb, is placement. It can transition to have an entry into Hollywood/Central Park but it takes a big chunk of where Nintendo is gonna go. Universal's problem is already lack of empty space, so do they take over ET for the bigger IP or utilize the little bare land they have left on the MIB plot and restrict themselves from future park expansion?
Another question is whether the cost of a major refurb to ET outweighs the cost of adding Nintendo IP ride?
We need more, not less.

You're getting more.
This is ludicrous. You're saying replacing KidZone, which is the jumbled mess to end all jumbled messes, with a cohesive, highly themed Nintendo area makes the park less cohesive?
Okay. Sure. Whatever.

You could use the argument that Nintendo isn't fitting to the movie theme of the park but then again, neither is the majority of KidZone but at least Nintendo would be 1 IP instead of several and no doubt a better experience overall for everybody.
