Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

[sonoma15]

From what I've heard, it's probably around $6-7 billion, for reference Universal Beijing was $6.5 billion and is currently the most expensive theme park ever built, and they had to build out more infrastructure including their own citywalk and parking garage. Also have to remember that a lot of this park was being built during covid so the budget probably has been inflated even more.

So we have media reporting 1 billion - but posters on here say 6, 7 or 10 billion, their sources being 'assumption' and 'thin air'.

Back to Donkey Kong - has there ever been an attraction that had so much possibilities, but ended up being such a horrendous damp squid ?

I'm pretty sure this has probably already been explained to you multiple times and you just are trying to troll and start arguments, but the 1 billion cost thrown around was just the cost of 1 year of on the ground construction.

Universal Beijing reportedly cost around $7 billion, albeit that likely includes their resorts and CityWalk, and it might even include infrastructure like the Metro station. But this is in a country with far cheaper construction costs.

1 billion gets you barely a land these days, so no way this entire park is only 1 billion. Logic dictates...

Just one Star Wars land cost a billion dollars. And you think a new park with five lands, a hotel, and 11 rides is also only going to cost $1 billion dollars?

How about an entire hotel themed to one ofthe biggest franchise spread of all time or the bones of the famous log flume being changed that they "have to get it right?" Or Disney's second California park in 2001. Webslingers.

What do expect out of @DonniePeverley? He's the same person who claims every ride at Epic Universe is a roller coaster and also claimed Epic Universe isn't going to be built.
