And that Universal was "stupid" for prioritizing a F&F coaster over everything Nintendo.
I mean if USH wants money and guests and that is the goal then yes, I think the better move would to get as much Nintendo now...over years from now.
We can disagree but I don't get how it's smarter to push for a F&F Coaster over Nintendo
Nintendo has over F&F
1) Has a more broad range of fans it will bring in, more kids, more women, and people who grew up with it and are showing it to kids now
2) March, Nintendo Merch costs a good amount and has no discount and still it sells
3) Food/drinks I mean the food and drinks sell out, you can't even walk into Toads most days and even can't get a time on most days if its after noon.
4) USH also can sell a 20, now 30 dollar extra ticket to get in early making more money
5) SNW is the only reason USH has he crowds it has had now and in the past year, they are been stellar so you'd want that to continue and not start adding another ride or land.....5 years from now when it could be being built now.
So yeah, Fans can disagree but if the company is out for money the next move should have been getting to more Nintendo and allowing the two shows to stay and help eat up crowds.
PS Like I said before....I don't want to like argue but if people need me to go back and quote posts from the SNW where people are just plain against Animal Crossing and zelda....I'll do it because there were a ton of people in there who wanted "universal" IPs over anything Potter or Nintendo coming to the parks next
I think there were legitimate concerns about space as well. We're reaching a point where we have 3 Orlando parks, a possibly totally unique GB park and some elements spread across Asia all competing for representation in a very space limited Hollywood.
Personally, I'd prefer Monsters over Pokemon for Simpsons in Hollywood. Having the castle facade at the top of the hill would be hot.
That would be great, I thought when they announced HP land it would be where Minions is so you could see a castle clearly from the Freeway but.....I just don't see them taking out Minions anytime soon. So if we did get a Monsters ride it would be in the lower lot is my guess
I will also be fine if some fans don't want it...but to argue that any IP's will make as much as Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and more Mario to me....like please back it up because when I go to the parks most the more "current" IP's have one....like one section for say Trolls vs Nintendo which has 1 Citywalk store, 2 Full Nintendo Stores plus the front section of the Studio Store in the park with a whole Nintendo area.
People should know my thoughts at this point, I love Universal but think while they are killing it with all the parks opening up I wish they could move faster at the parks they own to make the changes us guests want and makes money so we can get even more cool things.
