Super Nintendo World (Epic Universe)

[Wesker69]

Did I write this post just to point out it’s been 9 years? 10 when it opens? You bet’cha

Which explains why my excitement was completely non-existent by the time it finally opened at USH last year

So... is this just a simple flat mural with painted trees like Hagrid?

Nothing surprising if you’ve been following this project, but it’s a relief how official it all feels. I hope it’s not too crowded open to close so I can enjoy the vibes of the land outside of the games and rides. So excited for it!

This may sound stupid, but the Dk games have somewhat had a flat cookie cuttery feel before.
Won’t bother me none.

Gotta say, this was the announcement I was least excited for since we’ve seen so much already, but the videos actually made me excited anyway!

Should be worth mentioning that directly on the other side of that wall is the Mario side. Not exactly a lot of room there.

I am more enthralled that they went specifically out of the way in the Creative video to say Mine-Cart Madness features "Zero screens".

The marketing has been superb so far, kudos to that team. The passion from the park designers is so inspiring and raw, I love it.

You hit the nail on the head— it’s their excitement and passion for the project that sold it for me!

Was just about to say that…
Feels like they figured out what we want and are poking fun at themselves.

I was surprised to hear this and also surprised that they didn't mention the fact that this is the "Biggest Super Nintendo World they have built."

Most people watching will have no idea there’s another one, let alone two others.

Well aware, but Universal is known to fit a lot of theming into tight spaces. Just bothersome to know that they could have built/extended more of the temple theming around the entire land to make sure every single angle is covered in theming like the main SNW/Mario portion.

It's taking a while, but Universal is slowly getting rid of that "screens-only" mentality from the general public as well with their recent additions. Probably won't get rid of that stigma until USF gets overhauled a bit.

Just like with HTTYD’s mural, with real trees in front it will disappear into the background over time. I’m reserving judgement until I see it in person.

How about we wait til it's finished before we start nitpicking?

I remember @Alicia posted a layout of the ride and “zero screens” is now really hyping me up for one part in particular. This ride could have a King Kong sized figure!

Definitely more hyped for this than Mario Kart now.
