People way over assume and overstate what plans means and how useful they are to actually accomplishing anything.

I'm just gonna be slightly nosy but have y'all heard plans for other Nintendo IPs outside of Pokémon and TLOZ? I've heard peeps about Kirby, but as far I know that was only on the rough, extremely early 'nintendo IP gumbo land' plans. I know Pikmin are in SNW as little Easter Eggs (love those guys). I don't keep up much with Uni rumors so I like to see what's being talked about
.I also heard Kremlings were originally apart of the DKC coaster over Tikis in another forum, does that have any weight?

On Topic Note: After deciding nobody knows anything about the actual location, and what I've heard aside: I believe the height balloon for Muppets is a sign of the endtimes for Muppets ngl. I do not believe they'll use the AC space for the Monsters IP, especially with rumors (be it strong or weak) of Uni letting Simpsons go without a fight and making plans for a MSI replacement.
I can see why it'd be AC, but if they want to cut some corners, Muppets already has a show building they could use, and a quick service and sit down with all plumbing, internals ready to be used.
I'm not taking a definitive stance, and like I said before, I haven't been plugged into anything lately, but I think Muppets will either be replaced by Monsters or whatever the future plans are (be it the Shanghai Pirates theory, Simps, Bluey, Marvel, Alien, or whatever else people are talking about).
I'd be equally not shocked if it's AC or Muppets.
My current stance is that: between them not announcing a location at D23 (AC would've been a slam dunk), the height balloons spotted near Muppets recently reportedly, and Muppets no longer being highlighted on the recent park map, I feel a perfect storm is approaching to have evidence that it is Muppets.
OTHER HAND- We have the murmurs of employees leaving the AC buildings, alongside the fact the Disney Junior Show hasn't been updated at all recently and is showcasing shows that been off the air for awhile. (shocked Disney hasn't penned out a park deal for Bluey yet! that'd be an easy slam dunk for the younger crowd!), quietness regarding VOTLM (even though all signs point towards it remaining in the same space) and Launch Bay being a ghost town, I can see why they'd want to tackle AC versus an area that still has an attraction that can fill half a theater near the main draw of the park (SWGE).

Our mystical friend has flamed out of the forums for unknown reasons. As the time of his dissolution drew near, his proclamations became more and more janky.
So, the one guy who was willing to double and triple down on the coaster going in Animation Courtyard is now "looking in the right places"... elsewhere.

I think he was just outright trolling us before he vanished.

I’d heard awhile back that Japan wants something Animal Crossing but I’m not sure if that’s still the case or if it would ever make it over stateside.'m just gonna be slightly nosy but have y'all heard plans for other Nintendo IPs outside of Pokémon and TLOZ? I've heard peeps about Kirby, but as far I know that was only on the rough, extremely early 'nintendo IP gumbo land' plans. I know Pikmin are in SNW as little Easter Eggs (love those guys).

Maybe in the absolute most earliest of plans (as in back when they were throwing together that big gumbo style land before an official deal was even struck) but actually when DK was being designed proper Nintendo was going through a big “No King K Rool” phase and the Tropical Freeze game had just came out so I’d actually heard that King K and the Kremlings were specifically not allowed to be featured in the ride and land and they had to specifically go with elements from Donkey Kong Country returns and Tropicsl Freeze. Then King K made his way into Smash Bros and Nintendo realized he’s still very popular, so it’s actually that’s something that I think Uni would change now if they could do it again.

Tom Corless?
Maybe his source was Henry!
It got taken off the park dates shirts with Dino too apparently. Not looking good.I'm just gonna be slightly nosy but have y'all heard plans for other Nintendo IPs outside of Pokémon and TLOZ?

Well this is todays Disney.
So they could be making cast members leave the AC building (ing their cast members off) AND destroying Muppets (ing their guests off).
Nothing Disney does would surprise me these days.

Maybe they'll turn the AC into another DVC lounge for half the space, and a club 33 lounge for the rest of the space.
I will be completely transparent I thought the Kirkby thing was long dead. I have nothing else on that.I'm just gonna be slightly nosy but have y'all heard plans for other Nintendo IPs outside of Pokémon and TLOZ?

I think a lot of the DK related easter eggs will occur within the indoor/covered play areas of DK.

@celluloid @Ichabod Crane Thank you both for the info regarding the Nintendo and specifically DK stuff! The story I heard was that Uni Creative was using the engagement the K.Rool Smash reveal got to convince Nintendo to let them use Kremlings for EU at least and got shot down.
Interesting to hear about Animal Crossing being wanted in Japan from Ichabod! It's a massively popular brand over there along with Splatoon so I wouldn't be shocked to see it materialize over there, I think Animal Crossing at least would have a fair shot of showing up in the US, even if I can't think of a location, and Kirby being long dead makes sense since HAL Labs owns partial of the IP I think?
Would love to see Wario one day pop up in SNW at the least, I think that'd be plausible as a third 'pipe' for EU's SNW to go with DK and the rumored Luigi's Mansion ride.

Is this a running change or was it never on there in the first place? Are other 3D films included on the shirt?

If they ever get built
I no longer could find where I saw it. Swore it was blogmickey but couldn’t find it. Please disregard. Sorry.

There is one play area of DK that is definitely getting built.

An important element to remember with the SNW stuff being built right now is that it was designed way back in the 2015-17 timeframe. That’s why the Mario section is more in line with 3D world aesthetically as opposed to say, Odyssey or Wonder. It’s a similar situation with DK in that it was designed before K Rool’s entry to Smash and subsequent resurgence.
I know they’re building the power up band games for sure but I heard that the actual playground area got “phase 2’d”.
