Star Trek is currently in the gutter besides Picard season 3 from what I can tell and you can’t really do anything else with Transformers.For balance, it feels like Universal could really use a big sci-fi property, a Star Trek (unlikely, or course) or an expanded Transformers if they can jump start that franchise.
Kids game. Riiiiiiiiiight……We can have both. Zelda, kids game, very popular and LotR, for the rest of the demographics.
I don't really think there's a big sci-fi property that Universal can get access to like unless you count Stranger Things or maybe if Dune part 2/Amazon's Warhammer stuff is user successful.Star Trek is currently in the gutter besides Picard season 3 from what I can tell and you can’t really do anything else with Transformers.
With that said, Sci-Fi Super Nintendo World next to Mario at EU. F-Zero coaster on the level of or even surpassing VelociCoaster, Star Fox Arwing simulator, Metroid shooter ride like MiB with more advanced animatronics and elaborate sets and some projected elements as well.
Which is why I put them all together and gave F-Zero a big coaster. Niche IP or not you know a ride like that would be a HUGE draw. Plus Captain Falcon is very well known through Smash so if he appeared in the land people would recognize him. Then add in the two F-Zero tracks and kart that appear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which is the highest selling Switch game and one of Nintendos best sellers of all time on any console, F-Zero isn’t exactly “unknown.”I don't really think there's a big sci-fi property that Universal can get access to like unless you count Stranger Things or maybe if Dune part 2/Amazon's Warhammer stuff is user successful.
Nintendo's Sci-fi franchise are some of their most niche and I don't will get any of them unless one gets a successful movie or maybe a standalone ride/mini land somewhere
I actually love the Nintendo sci-if mashup idea - great use of several properties that couldn’t support whole lands on their own. In particular, I’d love a Star Fox attraction - especially if it integrated AAs of Fox and friends. Are Fox and F1 still relevant at all?Star Trek is currently in the gutter besides Picard season 3 from what I can tell and you can’t really do anything else with Transformers.

They’re kept relevant through Smash so people would know these characters.I actually love the Nintendo sci-if mashup idea - great use of several properties that couldn’t support whole lands on their own.

It would be evergreen if they would give fans what they want rather than these shows that fall off a cliff until they finally got the right idea with Picard Season 3. Also, I’m not a big Star Trek guy. The only Trek I’ve actually sat down and seen are the 3 Chris Pine movies. I just follow general entertainment news and reports.But come on, Star Trek is evergreen - it and LotR are arguably the two biggest IPs that still lack a major theme park presence (if you count DC comics at Six Flags as a legitimate presence). It has an obsessive, enduring fandom and settings and characters that are recognizable even to non-fans. Star Trek and Tom Cruise are the only things keeping Paramount afloat, and the studio is about to launch a whole bunch of new ST media, including a Michelle Yeoh-led film and several more film and TV projects. I don’t really think Uni will or even should try and get Trek, but it would be a big deal if they did (and I suspect Paramount would be very willing to talk).
Original Trek sells, not the new stuff. Just like Star Wars minus Mandalorian/Grogu though after the reception of season 3 even that might change now lol.PS: You want an IP that’s gonna move merch? ST is tailored to do that in a way few other franchise besides HP will, since it depicts a fantastic but consumerist society. Like HP, it features a varied but meaningful and recognizable collection of uniforms, accessories, and weapons. Tricorders and phasers from various series aren’t wands, but they’re close. While Star Wars is much more popular, Trek is much better situated for mercy marketing - imagine the parks full of folks in science blue or security red alongside all the guests today in Ravenclaw blue and Gryffindor red.
Everytime you write something I hear it in your voice and it cracks me up for some reasonGet out of here with your optimism!
Amazon is doing a Warhammer series?I don't really think there's a big sci-fi property that Universal can get access to like unless you count Stranger Things or maybe if Dune part 2/Amazon's Warhammer stuff is user successful.
