Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

Aren’t there supposed to be like lenses on stands or something you can look through and see him using AR?

I don’t know the word for it but it’s like binoculars on a stick

It already exists in a fun local park called Efteling so it could happen.

That is honestly pretty dope. Seeing Mario run and hop around the Mushroom Kingdom would be just so cool

I still think projection mapping would be awesome, complete with real fireworks when he hits the flag.

Any insiders know when we should expect more details to come out for this? I know opening isn't until Spring, but I feel like since this is a massive project it will be a multi-month marketing promotion. Id just love to see some MK concept art. I have no idea if the leaked one is accurate or not.

Probs 2020.

Ugh, fair enough. I just know the marketing for this will be different and likely “more” in some capacity so I’m just excited, sitting here waiting haha.

Ugh I hate Universal marketing.

Yeah darn them for waiting till the year it's opening to divulge info. Whats next, they're going to release the info ONLY IN JAPANESE?!?!?!

I think we can all agree they have a shakey past with marketing some new attractions, or doing them rather late, or announcing them the day they open. It’s weird and inconsistent I feel for the most part. Not talking about Bourne either.

Looking at their quarterly results, hotel occupancy and stuff they are doing a very good job compared to some other theme parks. Why change that? Sure I would love to have all the details of everything that will come before 2050 but is that smart business wise?

each park deals with their own marketing. It’s not a single entity. The team doing the marketing for Osaka has nothing to do with Orlando

Didn’t know this but good to know.

also never said it’s not working, but it’s still weird and inconsistent in some areas.

Yes, it take some thought to get around how they promote stuff. Hollywood promotion and design is as foreign to me as Osaka’s. Nothing at all like their Florida advertising.

What's going on with that big grey cube at the bottom of the flagpole hill? Not sure what that's supposed to be when looking through this perspective.

It's the first and only inside show scene for the Yoshi ride, and it's not actually attached to Flag pole mountain/hill.
To borrow from @Alicia it's the yellow box on the right of the below layout.

Jungle style backdrop being built on the side of MK. Guess that further confirms that when they greenlight phase 2 it's going to be Donkey Kong

Or, just to help blend into background of Potter... but yea, for DK down the road too probably.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

To bring up, the budget for the land apparently got increased, as it now rests at half a billion.



It wouldn't be shocking if DK has already been greenlit, as Universal Japan already went forward with expanding Minion Park quickly after it opened, considering Freeze Ray Sliders.

They see "Jungle-Style Backdrop", i see "Generic Bush Wall That Could Hide Literally Anything".
