I heard the third attraction in Mario-land will be Donkey Kong-Frontation. Bob Gurr is on board for this fantastic experience. Passengers in gondolas will play the part of Mario climbing ladders. After trying to escape, they take a wrong turn and, THERE HE IS! He grabs the gondola and roars. Hes so close, you can smell his breath (it's banana). On exit, the Minions will be singing about bananas.
It'll be great!

Exactly. I don’t want to be near the filth who buy Up&Up. Us bourgeoisie buy name brand snack crackers!Yes, so you can bypass the poors and get in and out faster.

I came here looking for actual updates and found none Lol
Nintendo owns the most popular/profitable IP in the world (Pokémon,) the 2nd best selling video game character (Mario) and another top 5 video game character (Link.). All 3 of these properties can support a whole land (I mean with Mario they could expand beyond the three current rides with a Luigi’s Mansion ride.). When you also add in Animal Crossing, Metroid, Kirby, Starfox, Splatoon, etc. Nintendo has the capacity to make Universal more money then Harry Potter, and they went in at a great time as most kids own a switch and are falling in love with those games like their parents did.

Pokemon is it's own thing, right? I believe Universal has the rights in Japan at least to use the property but I think Pokemon is separate from the other Nintendo brands you mentioned.
Perhaps you meant to post this in another thread though.
Kind of, the Pokémon company is equally owned by 3 corporations, Nintendo, Game Freak (the video game developer) and Creatures (trading card developer.)

A Pokémon land was slated to replace Kids Zone at Universal Studios Florida (along with Hyrule at Islands of Adventure) before Universal decided to focus on Epic Universe.

It's been announced that Pokemon is officially coming to USJ this year, although the announcement was very carefully worded and doesn't really seem to be implying a full on attraction at least at this point.
Pokemon attraction at USJ has been rumored for quite a while, the most recent (surprising, imo) rumor was that Spider-Man's days are numbered in favor of a Pokemon attraction.

I find it crazy that if your not some huge fan you wknt enjoy a land? As you said...if the rides are awesome people wont care. Pandora js the best example of this. The ip is trash yet the land is amazing...better than GE imho. ip centric lands i think are the new norm for the future. It allows much richer theming and detail. Also allows you to tell stories outside of rides.

Thats not saying much. It's better because it's bigger but I feel all of them kinda look cheap. Maybe it's because it's toys but the design reminds me of a really good playland at McDonald's. I agree with the other poster, Toy Story is kinda of a heavy movie, I never really liked them as much as others because we have enough to worry about let's not start worrying about the emotions of our material possessions.
Anyway, I wish they would put in a playground there It's so easy to do, as the shrunk down concept worked so well before.

Yeah, but Pandora is kind of special in that it's all about the visuals. Most IP lands don't have that.
If you have no connection to the IP and it's not something visually spectacular (like Pandora), the land itself may not do much for people. Star Wars is big enough that most people have at least seen it, but if you hadn't and had no interest, I don't think Galaxy's Edge would be especially interesting overall. That's likely true of Hogsmeade too -- Diagon Alley has a bit more going for it with the dragon etc., but HP is in the same category as Star Wars in terms of being a mega IP. Something like How To Train Your Dragon isn't remotely in that category.
Of course the attractions matter the most, but if you're going to spend a ton of money on theming shops etc. and people just don't care about them, then it's probably not the best investment.

Pandora, GE and Hogsmeade are visually interesting, but dead without inhabitants. All these "lands" need live entertainment that bring the area alive. Otherwise, you feel like an urban explorer looking at an abandoned area. True, you've got attractions. But, stepping outside them, it's just window dressing, like stepping on a stage after a performance; it's all very pretty. But, it exists for something more.
I was looking for a quote. Walt said something like, going to Disneyland was like stepping into a movie. He said nothing about stepping into an empty movie set. That's where we are now.
