Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

[Mad Dog]

Has anyone measured the acreage on this Osaka plot of land yet? Wondering how close it is to KidZone acreage. That could give us some clues on what's happening in Orlando.

This will be the first time I've ever obsessively followed construction updates at a foreign park, haha

I love the levels to this land, so much to explore!

Legend of Zelda Stunt Show or nothing!

(I'll also take a Star Fox coaster).

So Japan gets Mario Kart and Yoshi? Orlando will get that, plus Donkey Kong?

Hope you're not holding your breath.

Sounds like that might be the case

Btw Miyamoto did confirm this is not Super Mario World but Super Nintendo World at the Press Conference when asked about why was only Mario being soon. Take that as you will.

It's info from TV news in Osaka.
It will be 4ha so almost same acreage within WWoHP Hogsmead.

Understood.

So, it seems like USH and USJ will not recieve Donkey Kong in the process? Universal Japan makes sense, as Osaka has Flying Dinosaur; Flight of the Hippogriff; Hollywood Dream and Space Fantasy. What I am more not happy of, is that USH may not recieve it; as it's rumored to replace a coaster over there in the process.

Either way, I hope Hollywood get's Donkey Kong instead of Yoshi, but I am very excited to see how Osaka's version looks.

Was DK ever big in Japan? It seems like it's a more American character. The DK Country games + DK 64 weren't made by Nintendo, but Rareware (a UK developer).

I can't get excited about Yoshii. From what I've heard it will be a dark ride directed at a very youthful children (& families) demographic. I'm thinking Cat In the Hat crowd. Of course I'd ride it, but it does nothing to get my excitement quotient piqued. But I do understand all the Universal parks could use more young kids & family attractions, so I understand where they're coming from. Mario Kart, on the other hand, sounds tremendous, if the tech works.

I agree. But still out of my interest range....Just used CITH to describe age range.

Depending on how much of the Mummy building's land is dedicated to Nintendo, USH could get either USJ or USO's version. It's not known what will happen.

There is not 4 HA (10 acres) of land available on that parking lot, unless they plan on demolishing WaterWorld. If they were able to squeeze every inch of currently available space, they could probably make it to 7 acres tops which is about how large Harry Potter is.
