I really just see this as a flash in the pan. Everyone is doing it NOW, it will have played itself out in a few months. Just like every other phone based game, it will come and go.I'm really just expecting the news that Pokemon is being fast tracked to come before the end of the year at this point. Craziness.
Pokémon GO Success Could Put The Franchise In The Retail Spotlight This Christmas – My Nintendo News
Bringing this post back to say if this tech isn't used to make the ride take place on Rainbow Road then it's a failA long while back, @Teebin mentioned that Mario Kart may incorporate Screenz within the ground in some format.
Also this post to say that if they do a Mario themed carousel it would be a great way to include some classic tunes that wouldn't fit elsewhere in the land.It's so simple: Yoshi carousel.
Go itself may be a flash in the pan, but it proves that Pokemon is still a strong IP two decades later. It's been going strong and it's only going to get more popular in the future with a movie being made...I really just see this as a flash in the pan.

My point is that fast tracking Pokemon BECAUSE of Go would be short sighted. It would have been like green lighting a Farmville Land or Candy Crush Land. I get that Pokemon has a broader appeal among people who grew up with Pokemon, just like Nintendo Land will have an appeal to those who grew up with it. As a person who is not a gamer or ever played Pokemon I could give a rat's rear about them. I can appreciate they could make good attractions, but my feeling towards them is about the same as my feeling about Avatar Land. I'm sure I'll enjoy them, but they're just not something I'll be excited about.Go itself may be a flash in the pan, but it proves that Pokemon is still a strong IP two decades later.

That must be something new. I've always heard Astro Boy referred to as the Japanese Mickey Mouse and his creator Osamu Tezuka as their Walt Disney.Pikachu isn't called "Japanese Mickey" for nothing.![]()

Pokemon is all over the US. Walk in a Toys R Us and they have a whole aisle of Pokemon items. Build a bear had a Pikachu just recently also.
I gotta agree that an indoor, Kilimanjaro Safari-style attraction with some interactive/shoot 'em up dark ride elements and lavish sets/AAs would be the best way to build a Pokemon E-ticket.
The question is whether Pokemon would go into the MIB/Springfield plot, serve as a Toon Lagoon replacement or be incorporated into the 3rd gate. There's no real concrete option, but the success of Pokemon Go has to have Comcast execs contemplating where Pokemon could fit into Universal Orlando

Minion Mayhem.
Construction hasn't started for Nintendo, as the only project that is being worked on in construction right now for USJ is DMMM (at BTTF).
