Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

I'm surprised we aren't hearing about something with Pokemon as well. Pokemon is still huge with kids after 20 years.

They would be crazy not to at least put a Pokemon Center in CityWalk especially if they can get some of the Japanese exclusive event pokemon as giveaways. That would be a huge draw for lots of pokemon fans. I think they are only planning on using Mario/Donkey Kong in Universal and saving everything else for when they build a 3rd park.

The long rumored Nintendo themed land now looks to be locked in for Orlando in 2020. As Nintendo themed attractions are planned to first open in Japan in 2018 and Hollywood in 2019, look for Universal to take everything they learn from those first two versions to perfect the Orlando version, which will likely be the biggest one of them all.

While things are still in development, the land is expected to replace the current Kids Zone area, and feature at least two major attractions and possibly a number of smaller kiddie attractions, as well as a likely retheme of the existing Woody Woodpecker Nuthouse coaster.

Theres not much space in that area.. will they demolish E.T. as well?
Also, would this means they will change Fievel's playland, Curious George and all the area games will be rethemed or replaced?
will animal actors be replaced too?

Everything except E.T. will be leveled.

I hope they learn to "balance" the areas.. if not.... e.t. will be out like a sore thumb.

There will be a new entrance for E.T. from the Hollywood area last I read.

i wouldn't bet on that.

i wouldn't bet on that.

I would! or it would have a "Mix of screens and practical sets." I hope they prove me wrong...

From what I understand, Secret Life of Pets and the 2 Nintendo E Tickets will not be screen based attractions.

I would love to see that. A first for universal in recent years

 

[KingOfEpicocity]

I do have to say Universal has enough screen based attractions at the moment. Not really a negative but you need a mix of attractions or it gets old. Hasn't gotten old to me yet but.....

whats gotten old to me is the exact same ride reskinned.. i want something truly new

 

[Disneyhead'71]

I love what Universal can do with projection tech. But we've seen it. Now I want to see what else they can do.

I'm not a huge AA fan. I think they work best in the queues where you are going walking speed.

I much prefer an AA ride over screens. Which is why i dont favor most uni rides. id like to see a better mix
