Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Magic-Man]

Sort of off-topic, but if SNW were to still replace KZ, could the pathway between the new Bourne show, ET, Central Park, and Simpsons get a complete makeover? That whole area is the worst part of Universal IMO.

...I actually don't understand what you are talking about.

Are you referencing the mid-way in between Gardens of Allah/Central Park and the T-section?

I would assume if it is still in KZ, they would make changes to most of that area cosmetically alongside of SNW.

Yeah, that whole T-Section area. Also, those mini-houses near Bourne/Terminator. They've always felt a little out of place to me.

By mini-houses, do you mean the current NBC Media Center

What the hell? Did I just figure something out? Confirmed that it is the new ET entrance?

On another note, I love that wink emoji. It insinuates something more without actually saying anything at all.

 

[Teebin]

Nah, I was just winking to say that I think you were right and that the person was talking about the media center. I guess I should have used a different emoji.

No park has an “anchor IP.” The whole point is that each park has multiple IPs and ideas.

Well, we still might refer to Potter as at least a fishing weight or bouy IP.

And Star Wars.....

Question. If USF was to still get SNW, couldn't that cannibalize IOA's attendance? Everyone already thinks the same thing would happen if Uni South got SNW.

Hogwart's Express: Warp pipe edition?

Hogwart's Express: Warp pipe edition?

THIS WAS THE FIRST THING I IMAGINED AFTER THAT FIRST SNW ANNOUNCEMENT

I mean, it's kind of a waste of time and money to get a 1 Day/1 Park ticket nowadays

$40 Train ride. Or maybe its $50 now.

Just curious, what's that zigzag building behind ET? Is that a maintenance building?

Definitely...But prior to Hogwart's Express, that wasn't really the case. Even now, you really need to tour commando, and basically miss all the entertainment venues and the ambiance of the park, to do both parks in one day. It really takes two days minimum now, especially if you spend any kind of satisfaction time in Diagon & Hogsmeade.....The great thing about HE is that it makes it easier, plus a really good attraction (and under rated by some) , to travel between the two parks....Even someone like me, that takes long Universal vacations, before HE I rarely did both parks in the same day, even though they're a fairly short walk between them. Since HE, I'll usually travel between the parks more than once a day. Now I rarely just spend time in one park. HE made a monumental move in touring habits. It's really jst One Big Park now...Hogwarts Express was pure genius.

I think that's costuming and some offices?

I think that's the break space for the parade and most of the performers on that side of the park.

I wonder if that's where the maintenance buildings currently in KZ would go.
