Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[UNIrd]

I would think that of ALL the attractions Universal's built, Nintendo would call for screens. But... if not, more power to them.

And I disagree that Universal opts for screens for what they can't recreate, like A-List stars. Simpsons, Minions, and Transformers are all examples of attractions that could have utilized AAs but didn't. Not in their current incarnations (ultimately, the screens were because of space-saving and shoehorning) but their characters were all cartoonish enough to recreate easily should they have chosen different, more expensive paths.

If fate serves me wrong, Transformers would of had a full AA of Optimus Prime, but wasn't it cut in the process of time and money? Can be wrong, but I believe I've seen people say that TF would of had a AA for its attraction.

It didn't have an AA in Singapore where it opened first, then none in Hollywood the year after that, and none in Florida the year after that. They could have added it to any of the latter if that was their original intention. I call BS on the AA.

I dunno... that was a quick down and dirty copy. I think Orlando is wildly lucky to have the statue out front that they have. I also think the only reason that it is there is because it's Mark's backyard and showplace.

AA Transformers would've been incredible but a ride with those obviously wouldn't have been able to fit in the space the current one does. We could've seen a very different attraction replace Disaster!

I have cleaned this thread after multiple calls by mods to cut it out. If anyone wants to discuss rumors posted on WDWM, please go to WDWM. If the conversation continues it the way it has, this thread will be locked.

Discussion is great and we're all excited for this project but this thread has reached into posting for posting's sake.

If you have any questions or issues please DM @BriMan or myself.

I totally get you deleting the posts as it was basically devolving into a WDWM conversation in the Nintendo thread.

As for posting for posting's sake though... there's not much going on to talk about

That's ok! The thread won't feel bad or die if it goes stagnant till more info comes out! We have construction of SIX major projects going on!

 

[*Q*]

What kind of overalls does Mario wear?

I have no problem letting this thread die off for a bit haha... i'd rather focus on stuff that's under construction and we have firm info on anyway.

Back to Nintendo having no screens though..

is that counting MK? Because, even then; I would of atleast expected screens like spiderman for that.

Yes

 

[Nick]

Yes

Huh, should be interesting how they do this? Is this to be a shooter type ride? If so it sounds like it will truly put TSMM to shame and then some.

Also, if it is a shooter attraction, that would seem to open the door to replace MIB down the road, no?

AFAIK it's not a shooter

lol wow, duh, we were talking about Mario Kart and I barely realized it. Not even sure how a shooter for MK... aside from shooting a turtle or banana here or there, there's not much to shoot

 

[pat_naughty05]

Speaking of a shooter, I think a Duck Hunt shooting game in the vein of the Frontierland Shooting Arcade would be a cool addition.

 

[Mad Dog]

It's a big bright beautiful tomorrow. I think this land is going to be a fantasmic addition to Universal. I'm not a present video game enthusiast, a little past my prime for that, but, with Universal/Comcast's recent track record, I'm sure this land will even entertain someone like me that doesn't have an attachment to the characters. Quality always wins out. And, I'm excited to see what Universal will put out there that may be unique.

Or Wild Gunman since this is Universal. Maybe set it up like this.
