Super Nintendo World - Hollywood (General Discussion)

[Jerroddragon]

I could so easily picture this being such a crowd flow nightmare.

Well to USH where we have many places that become hell on earth when they are busy

 

[KD482]

From what I've heard this is now indefinitely delayed.

 

[Clive]

let us pour one out

Gotta give people a little more than that.

I was worried...then I saw he had 5 posts. Thought Universal made some big announcement or something

I mean you don't have to believe me, just telling you what I've heard from friends directly affected.

Saying that would've been fine, but the needless ambiguity doesn't help anyone.

I have also heard construction has been halted at this time.

My bad, to be honest I thought people had more of an understanding of vast and brutal the day was for Universal. I apologize that is my misunderstanding. Wishing the best for all TM's.

the delays a shame but it was bound to happen. More things have way more importance so I’m not too bummed.

 

[Jerroddragon]

So for us not in the know. Can anyone say whats going on or do we just have to read between the lines?

I'm assuming some CMs got laid off, Nintendoland is being put on hold but any details on this?

It’s not really “some CMs.” It’s large swaths of critical back of house departments, including Entertainment and Creative.

This^ It seems they essentially eliminated everyone that they deemed "non essential" in both creative and entertainment. It was very hard day for the theme park industry. Not just "some", Hundreds lost their jobs.

 

[Jamesh22]

I could see the opening going back to 2022, when hopefully things are more normal, but indefinitely on hold doesn't seem to make sense.

The lay offs really suck. You need to invest in a business to see it through a crisis, cutting just damages things more in the long run.

 

[Mad Dog]

I think that's the most likely scenario. They've already paid for much of the project's cost. No sense to open in 2021 since crowds will be soft no matter a new E ticket attraction or not. 2022 will probably be the economic revival year. Good scenario for a Nintendo opening.

Thanks for more Details

just asking because basically people come on here and sometimes do like Code talk, instead of just saying whats they heard in a basic sentence.

This is all obviously disappointing, but I feel worse for the people who lost their jobs. They want SNW to open and be great as much as we do, only they have their livelihoods tied to it, where for us it’s just a fun day in a theme park. Tough pill to swallow all around. Hopefully the limited staff that is leftover can continue to ideate and innovate and deliver something close to the original idea eventually.

I'd rather them put it off years then have the land come with no Mario Kart. Think most people would.

 

[ParkExplorer9513]

If it meant Mario Kart being ready for guests, I'll be glad to wait for SNW for a little longer.

Nintendo World Construction is continuing according to Scott’s analysis video of the latest Santa Clarita drone footage:

Wonder if they are just going to finish the base work and then wait another year before picking up again
