Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Jade Light]

Please universal tell me when you announce the closing of kidzone

 

[AlexanderMBush]

You probably won't see the announcement of Kidzones closure until a while. As it stands..I'd say give it February for the announcement of Kidzone closure and E3 next year hinting of whats coming.

 

[JungleSkip]

Do we know if Nintendo is opening in planned stages? Or all at once?

At once

 

[Mad Dog]

I believe the OU insiders have stated on many occasions, most recently a few days ago, that ET is not closing. eace:Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Teebin]

Someone please offer me something about this possibility. I have absolutely no connections about this land and its attractions. Excellent example of how UC splits its factions and keeps a distance between them. I don't know poop about what is going on here and what might be the signature attraction.

I could see the ride being something similar to Indiana Jones Adventure. You only see Indy a few times on the ride anyway, and he only speaks once. I figure they'd have the ride be in a dungeon and do the same thing with Link, except he doesn't speak. Then again, if it's going to be more of a family ride, something like POTC with Jack Sparrow could work.

Not to be "that" guy, but you see Indy three times and he speaks each time you see him. Multiple lines in fact.

I'm kind of lost myself since I have no background with Nintendo games and little interest in the IP. But, it's obvious that Nintendo is really big with the under 40 crowd so I'm sure it will be successful, and Universal Creative's good track record probably ensures interesting attractions. But, like you, I have no clue what can or will be happening. And, since I'm not an insider, I have nothing to plug into. But, I'm sure I'll love it when it opens. Plus, it's replacing an area of the park that I usually see is almost empty when I visit in the spring and fall, and has absolutely zero interest for me.

At once

All at once as fully finished or with a potential for a phase 2?
How many attractions do you think there will be? I have been wondering, if this is for 2018, then perhaps some of the attractions will be more generic?

To your first question: I don't see there being a Phase II.

To the rest, I'm not at liberty to say.

 

[cameronw99]

has anyone brought up the idea that Link doesn't speak? I guess if there is a "Zelda" ride, you would be link? I just don't know how it would really work. I can't wait to see concept art for this new project. I think it could look really amazing.

Link doesn't talk but fans of the game know his fairy side kick doesn't shut up...

Yes, the second phase will be called Super Nintendo Land, followed by Nintendo Land 64.

Thanks Jungle Skip! Will be interesting when Universal reveals more in a few years

Taking it with a grain of salt of-course; but an individual by the name of The Winter Skipper had gotten some info on Nintendo:





If this is truly coming over to Kidzone and a portion of the plot behind Simpsons, this makes complete sense. It also gives a better idea of what we could be dealing with for IPs from Nintendo.

 

[JungleSkip]

All I'll say is Nintendo is not going anywhere outside the KidZone plot. None of the land behind MIB/Simpsons will be used for Nintendo

So does this mean animal actors is on the block?

Oh yea. Animal Actors is long gone.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

So for closures..

-Animal Actors
-Fivals Playground
-Barney
-Woody Woodpecker family coaster
-Curious George

Am I missing anything? As ET is shuttered of the possibility of it closing.

:thumbsup:

It's a surprising amount of room. Enough for everything they want to do.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Alright, and then Combine the Parade building (as that's apparently getting moved..) and you have that room.
