Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Alicia]

When they do hit, I believe we're looking for Project 273.

EDIT: maybe not. 487 looks like the winner.

Yes. 487, but still haven't seen anything new today. Keep your eyes peeled. :look:

 

[Teebin]

Aaah! It seems as though the delays have been for reasons... three of them. Pretty soon we will forget Potter and be screeching, NO MORE NINTENDO!

 

[JungleSkip]

NO, MORE NINTENDO!

Fixed that for you. #LionelHutz

Someone has to play the game...OK Teebs, what's the THREE REASONS?

I read that as Teebin saying that one Nintendo project became three Nintendo projects

 

[Paulio]

It’s pretty much agreed that both are gonna bite it. But TL gives way more room to work with.

And in no way is Dudley an answer for Splash Mountain.

I don't see any proof or rumor that Toon Lagoon might be replaced sooner. I mean I don't deny it, but it's far less than what you hear about the Lost Continent. And yes, Dudley Do-Rights has a log ride in a wetter version of Splash Mountain, so it can be seen as a response to that lol.

I just want alcoholic blue potion.

 

[Imperius]

This guy seems to know a lot.

 

[Alicia]

Here ya go:



EDIT: And look! I got the proj num right! Yay me.

 

[JungleSkip]

Edit: Alicia beat me

Edit 2: Man, this is almost like, word-for-word what we've all been saying. Almost like we knew what the hell we were talking about.

If Nintendo is open the same time as WDW's 50th, that's not a volley, that's a dag-blasted punch to the face.

I tell you... Theme Park War II is fan-friggin-tastic. Universal threw a hellacious one-two with Potter, Disney swung back with D23, and Universal has barely flinched. Instead, their response is a chuckle and mushroom.

And how the plans didn’t change and they aren’t the leaked ones? Huh go figure.

 

[Imperius]

So DK is about 3x the size of MK. MK multiple levels? DK for sure keeping the play area.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

To say this, doing some calculations from what Chip posted on Twitter; MK will be 1,74 acres in total, with DK bringing in a whopping 4.7 acres for the attraction itself.

And considering that Yoshi isn't anywhere in what's mentioned, and that SNW would clock in at 8.8 acres, subtracting that with the Acre's of both MK and DK, the land itself would have 2.36 additional acres for whatever they'd want.

It was also referred to I think by @Disneyhead that Zelda is a frontrunner for Gate IV, so the thought of me goes is Pokemon as the obvious choice for an IOA expansion.

 

[Mad Dog]

If there's no Yoshi, Epcyclopedia might take the bridge.

Jaws closed early 2012 for summer 2014 opening. I don’t think this is a 3 1/2 year build.

 

[JungleSkip]

DK is much more spread out considering its nature, yea

And considering that Yoshi isn't anywhere in what's mentioned.

I'd need to see the plans. Yoshi was integrated into the Mario section afaik. This guy may have missed it.

 

[Teebin]

I read that as Teebin saying that one Nintendo project became three Nintendo projects

That’s what I meant... the inclusion of all three parks.

 

[Alicia]

As I just tweeted to Alex, Yoshi may not be as easily identifiable in permits since it shares a building with other things, not dedicated like MK and DK. Plus, much of it is outside in the land like Suess Trolley. Chip seems to be focusing on actual show buildings, which, rightly so, they're the E-tickets.

Pokémon could take over Toon and use one of the water rides for a “surf” attraction then build another AA dark ride in the other plot.
