First off, everytime you post information, I scream for joy (internally, of course). Love your insider knowledge and posts man- really appreciate it.
I'm all for this still coming to fruition- in particular with that ride. I was thinking Dr. Seuss High in the Sky Trolley originally, but Pteranodon is even better. This is, ultimately, twice the capacity of that as it seats 4 instead of 2. Additionally, if capacity is an issue, they can do the "1st and last hour can be adults" they do with PF and the rest is under (?) 54".
Capacity wouldnt be as big of an issue as PF, because of what else is in the land. So instead of just the JP play area, you have Donkey Kong play area, Luigi's play area, pokemon interactive area, Kirby's splash area- as well as multiple other flats (3 or 4- I dont recall off top of head). That, and again, it's double capacity.
But ultimately- it would just be badass. To have that giant bullet floating above you on occasion would just be incredible from a visual/kinetic standpoint.
Truthfully, Zelda just sticks out like a sore thumb here. Although Kirby doesn't "fit" either- it fits fine as it's animated. But Zelda is more "life like". I wish itd be exactly like that map but replace Zelda with Yoshi.
But I also understand the appeal from Universal's standpoint of hitting everything in one area. This whole land would print so much money its just stupid. Hitting every demographic and making every age smile ear to ear. Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, Kirby, DK- all in one spot? It'll make butterbeer and wands play 2nd fiddle on the P&R statement.
