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 will be completely transparent I thought the Kirkby thing was long dead. I have nothing else on that.

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.

It got taken off the park dates shirts with Dino too apparently. Not looking good.

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

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.

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

I know they’re building the power up band games for sure but I heard that the actual playground area got “phase 2’d”.

My understanding is still we get VOTLM back for a short bit. A Phased build of Monsters of the rest of Animation Courtyard for the next 2 to 3 years. It was part of the reason VOTLM new version got greenlit. To support the closing of the other side bits that are being transformed in the rest of the area.

I do not think so. It may struggle a bit on opening day as a legal tweak and issue. But it is definitely part of the first phase. It is the only thing besides Yoshi that is included without paying for it in a park that does not have a lot to offer low to no height requirement.

I just checked the fly through on the announcement video and the playground isn’t in it.

I also wonder if some of it had to do with cost. The Kremlings, especially K Rool, would likely need full-scale animatronics built to do them justice like they’re doing for the Kong’s themselves. The Tikis on the other hand can be represented by a prop on a stick that slightly waves back and forth.

Some could say they went with the tikis because they’re more ‘relevant’ than the Kremlings, but if that was the case wouldn’t they be going with the enemies from Tropical Freeze?

It’s not in the concept art at all, it’s not in the model at the Epic Universe preview center either.

The only playground in the park that’s shown is one in How to Train Your Dragon.

While it is not labeled at the model at the preview center. I would look at the details. Interesting. Maybe just the treehouse outdoor play elements and the ones in the child/rider swap.

idk why but I feel the captian EO claim is so oddly specific and strange that there’s no way it isn’t based in some sort of fact.

Maybe someone at Disney realized that one of their friends was leaking information that had been shared in confidence and fed the suspects different false rumors to see which ones turned up online. When the Captain EO rumor (and/or others) popped up, they knew they had their culprit and called Henry up to read him the riot act, leading to deleted posts and no more Henry (on this board, not in the mafia sense).

Or, his posts got someone else chewed out or fired.

Or, the mods saw him do something not good.

Or, he uncorked another TROLLING.
