Well aware that things can change from now, just trying to converse.How about we wait til it's finished before we start nitpicking?

There's literally a myriad of other cool details, though - like "Biggest Nintendo ever", "zero screens"... Why converse on an unfinished nitpick? That's the point...

Speaking of Donkey Kong Country, looks like there may be a drink stand(?) at the Donkey Kong Country area known as "The Bubbly Barrel," which I don't think we have heard of before one of the videos.
Hope they have themed tiki drinkware!
Cause we've discussed screenz ad nauseum for years now, I have zero need to worry/discuss about Universal going back to their screenz era moving forward.There's literally a myriad of other cool details, though - like "Biggest Nintendo ever", "zero screens"... Why converse on an unfinished nitpick? That's the point...
To be fair, the "biggest Nintendo ever" is a stretch with USJ having the same offerings as Epic. Epic probably has a few additional sq. ft. of interactive experiences, but not a very interesting topic discussion lol
My cynicism of that wall isn't because I woke up today ready to nitpick SNW to death, it's just worrisome to see the attention to detail being made to the temple walls on the opposite site, only to then cut corners on this side because it won't be in people's photos on social media. My hope is that bamboo covers all of it.
Looks like we’re getting a literal taste of Juicy Jungle from Tropical Freeze.
Speaking of I’m planning on finally doing a Funky Kong playthrough of this game as we get closer to opening.
That is a great name! I think I know what I’m hitting up first when Epic opens haha

Announcement days are always my favorite. This one maybe doesn’t hit as hard as others (probably why it’s the dead middle of the announcement schedule). But they did a good job of emphasizing the fun of the land. Plus, Donkey Kong has me super psyched. It looks so great.
Yet another post for me to gush about getting a Nintendo Theme Park 20 miles from my current abode. They chose the two biggest ideas from every fan blogger or Nintendo X Disney/Universal enthusiast from the 90s-2000s; Mario Kart and Mine Kart Madness. Both sound incredibly cool, and I'm hoping to take a trip up to Hollywood sooner than later to be able to finally experience this stuff before the rush of a whole new theme park!
I'm pretty spoiler-sensitive, especially for theme parks. When it comes to any media I'm remotely interested in, I'd much rather enjoy the twists, turns, or reveals in-person and in the moment rather than hearing about it way before. So honestly, I haven't looked too much into the Hollywood or Japan lands so far! I'm incredibly excited to be able to enjoy these lands in-person in less than a year's time. This has been a lifelong dream, and after a whole decade, it's almost here!! 2025 is gonna be a real big year for Nintendo fans!
For now, I'll appreciate the rumored Citywalk store, and the USF Parade and Cinesational Nintendo rep! : ))

Surprised no one‘s pointed out the Yoshi height restriction is down to 36 inches.
I still can’t believe Mine-Cart Madness is 36”.

So are we not getting a merch drop for the reveal today? For Celestial Park and Dragons we got shirts for those reveals. Bummer if we don't
Currently at the park. Will let you know.
Oh my goodness, Orlando SNW merch drop!! I hadn't even thought about that! I'll keep my eye on this thread and might just have to take a drive up to Uni this weekend to pick that stuff up!
For years now, I've been eagerly anticipating seeing Mario, Bowser, and Peach mixed between all of the E.T., Potter, Seuss, Simpsons, and Minions we've currently got in every major Uni outlet. We got a little merch drop back when the movie came out, but I think we're gonna start seeing a whole wave of Mario goodies flooding the parks relatively soon!

I don't like the "paint a mural on a box/wall" trend, either, especially in a park being built totally from scratch, but I'm willing to see what it actually looks like while walking around in that area before I call it an issue.
Anyway, it was a fine hype video (albeit for the land we already know the most about).
Implies their internal feedback from the general public matches some of the opinions expressed by myself and others about oversaturation of the technique.

It's fascinating that they think that's a selling point worth mentioning.

VillainCon was only last year.
Even outside fan forums, there is discussion of "too much" screens/simulators. Not uncommon to walk around USF and hear "oh it's just another simulator ride" comment.
It is an odd statement though as it's not like they plan on removing a good chunk of their screen simulators anytime soon either.

I get the sentiment but for DK/SNW in general those kind of background thematically fit in the context of the games. I'd imagine it'll be more detailed than previous ones we've seen because it'll be much more prominent.
Nice seeing the future pipe entrance for the expansion in the lower left! I think that section will be redone just a little when they get to Luigi's Mansion.
Wait, what else are we supposed to do around here?How about we wait til it's finished before we start nitpicking?
