POLL: Star Wars Land vs Nintendo Land
- Thread starter Siren
- Start date
Hi @jakeman! OMG. Of course, I totally agree! And, very well said.
I'm just trying to gauge anticipation. When, both lands are complete then we can draw comparisons. But, that is going to take so long.
I also thought about polling Mario vs Mickey and which character is more iconic?
I was surprised by the amount of people who feel that Mario is more iconic.
I was also trying to see if Star Wars land will be enough.
I honestly thought that Nintendo Land would be the biggest competition WDW would ever face.
But, since Nintendoland will open in Japan first -- I don't think it will be like Harry Potter's grand opening.
It's going to be more like HP was in LA. This is very good news for WDW, I think -- but bad for the consumer.

Huge Nintendo fan, but I don't think the land will end up better than Star Wars just because the subject material is so unreal/unrelatable. The most submersive lands (think HP) make you feel like you're really actually there. This is easy for me to imagine in star wars... Mario? definitely not. Star Fox? Possibly, but Millenium Falcon is more exciting... Zelda? Huuuge fan of the source material, but outside of letting me walk inside someone's house to break their pots, I don't see it. I do think the attractions will be better than SWL though. Im not even convinced that Disney is capable of making better attractions than Universal under the current regime and practices...
They don't, just as this thread didn't belong in N&R at the onset. But someone has a job to do....
It's just a friendly discussion. There are other threads that are probably of more interest to you, like the alcohol thread, for instance. And, Happy Holidays!! Buh-bye.

Don't make me pick between the two 
I've grown up with Star Wars & *everything* Nintendo (I still adore the latter very much, lol). I'm excited for both, but I think Star Wars Land will most likely end up as being the higher-quality, more immersive themed land.
Regardless, I really hope that the two of them succeed & perform very well.

I am a bit of an anomaly amongst my fellow gamers in that I could care less about Nintendo.

Omg.
That would actually be incredible though. Make the land mostly walkable. Set up some people to give out quests (like Agent P, I think that's how that works, right?), build some little huts and cottages that are filled with pots to break.
Completely immersive, and satisfaction is guaranteed.
You've enough work that you need not add moderator to your resume. Besides, there's no pay for that job, unlike your other....
Hi @KLinder7! Hmm, this is an interesting comment. I only agree because Nintendo Land is opening in Japan first.
Hi @wdwfan757! Wow, great comment. This is kind of surprising to me.
Hi @raven! I apologize if I wasn't clear. But, we are discussing Nintendo Land up the street at UNI Orlando.
OMG, Marni! You just dropped a major bombshell!!! Now, I just have to know who the possible neighbors are.
Hi @Tiny Arms! LOL. I'm not going to make you choose. I guess it's safe to say that you voted for both. Very well said. And, I totally agree.Don't make me pick between the two

Hi @Master Yoda! Wow, spoken like a true Star Wars fan!!! You must have just seen Rogue One or something. LOL. I wanted to see it this weekend but all of the 3D IMAX and XD Xtreme screens are sold out. So, hopefully I'll see it around Christmas or something.
Hi @Direwolf27! Neat ideas for Zelda. I would gladly pay to break some of those pots.Omg.

Hi @Raveney! I love your avatar. Thanks for chiming in!!! I agree that there is plenty in both lands to be excited for.
Wow. So, are the other threads here, just not working out for you or something. I'm not telling what to do -- just offering friendly suggestion(s) for discussions that may be more suited to your interests. Like, you seem so unhappy here. That's all.
But, since you insist on staying -- did you at least vote? What land are you most excited for?
Unhappy? Not in the least. Just making sure folks know your true motivation for being around these parts....

Personally, I could live a long happy life without either of them, but, that just makes this thread not my place, since you didn't give me that option in the poll. 
Enjoy!
Enjoy!Well, for what it's worth -- I'm totally glad that you're happy. And, I think you have done an exceptional job of informing the community of my motives, going on like two or three years now. So, I think your work here is totally done.
Hi @Goofyernmost! Wow, that's such a gross oversight on my behalf. Ugh, I hope you forgive me. You can still choose one anyway, though!Personally, I could live a long happy life without either of them, but, that just makes this thread not my place, since you didn't give me that option in the poll.

I would love star wars land to be better... but it just wont be.
Harry potter and the new water park at universal are completely interactive.
They promise the much larger and best land to be in orlando and to have a HUGE interactive angle to it.
based on how long it takes disney to build anything nintendo land may open before star wars or at the same time in orlando.
disney has sunk too much money into magic bands.... i love star wars over nintendo, but the nintendo land will be inevitably better.
"
Interactivity
Across Volcano Bay will be interactive “tap-to-play” spots. You’ll tap your TapuTapu wristband to a spot to trigger some sort of special effect or show scene. Examples listed by Universal include shooting water cannons at other guests and illuminating images in the volcano’s hidden caverns."
that is happening NOW ^^^^^
just imagine what universal will be able to do in 2-4 years!?
