“SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™” is coming to Universal Studios Japan and will be the first such opening in the world*1, featuring globally renowned characters and game worlds from Nintendo. Super Nintendo World is targeted to open in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While Universal Studios Japan will be the first location to open, Nintendo themed areas are also coming to Orlando and Hollywood as announced by Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts on November 29, 2016.
Super Nintendo World will be comprised of expansive and multilevel environments filled with unprecedented, state-of-the-art rides*2, interactive areas, shops and restaurants, all featuring Nintendo’s most popular characters and games. Development cost at Universal Studios Japan is currently expected to exceed 50 billion Yen. Super Nintendo World will be developed mainly using the park’s current parking area and part of an area designated for future expansion. Katsuhiro Miyamoto, Professor Emeritus of Kansai University estimates that Universal Studios Japan — after opening Super Nintendo World — will bring economic benefits following its opening of approximately 6.2 trillion Yen for the Kansai region, 11.7 trillion Yen for Japan as a whole, and will create approximately 1.1 million jobs in Japan within a decade after opening*3. Universal Studios Japan will introduce the wonder of the world-class, Japan-based entertainment brand of Nintendo not only to Japan but to the world.

I'd say with good confidence that Nintendo will have a presence in Japan before Orlando.

I still feel really confidant about this.

So the location its taking in USJ means no attractions are going away at all over there and if they use all that space in the parking lot, its larger than Hogsmeade over there including the lake.

Also Do they mean both the parking garage and the parking lot? Because that garage is bigger than Jaws which last time we checked for Japan was 10 acres. So add both thats a good 15+ acres

Parking lot and unused expansion space.

Wrong side, as the parking lot is on the north side near potter and water world.

Wrong side

Well I've never been to the park so I don't know where everything is :tongue:

 

[ChrisFL]

I've been there and I still have no idea where the parking lot is

Like I said in a earlier post, thats the park current parking area and their expansion area which they already pulled for potter as that parking lot use to be bigger. That is literally 15+ acres and I'm lowballing.

The expansion pads in the back of kidzone next to MIB could be used as well, that is if USJ uses all that land.
