This is the other side of those freestyle machines. There is a clear gap in the wall they could use if they were going to expand Nintendo into the plot between SNW and Dark Universe. Is this not the space SNW would be expanding into?
The other side of the freestyle machines is back of house space. That opening in the walls is an emergency exit for the land and is closer to the restrooms. It would have to be reconfigured to make work with a change in use as there are a number of constraints due to its nature as an emergency exit.
That plot is one of the two future land plots. It is also the smaller of the two. If it is used for Super Nintendo World expansion then it is at a minimum reducing the size of a future land. Those roads that divide the lands also contain utilities and park infrastructure. In this particular case, it is also the direct service access for the Nintendo store and Pizza Moon. All things that can be dealt with if desired, but were setup that way because of the assumptions made years ago that the plot would be for a new land.
The expansion pad at Epcot between the France Pavilion and Morocco Pavilion was intended for another country pavilion. It was instead used for France Pavilion expansion by way of the pavilion’s back of house space. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey sits on a plot that was envisioned as Jurassic Park expansion, and instead because the marquee ride of a land that was not at all anticipated resulting in one “island” becoming two lands. Assumptions about how a park will expand are blind assumptions. This plot in Epic Universe was intended as a future land, but that doesn’t stop it from being used as Super Nintendo World expansion, Dark Universe expansion, Celestial Park expansion, all of the above or even nothing.
This is the plot that was intended for an event space. That’s the one that would involve going through Toadstool Cafe to access.I think the general idea is that the plot between DK and Dark universe is for a new portal (just like the plot between stardust and HP).
There is a small expansion pad between SNW and the park entrance:
