Nintendo teaming up with Universal for theme park attractions

[Justin]

So, um, this is kind of a big deal. Honestly I didn't think I'd ever see the day that this would happen.

KYOTO, Japan and ORLANDO, Florida (May 7, 2015) ? Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts today announced plans to bring the world of Nintendo to life at Universal theme parks ? creating spectacular, dedicated experiences based on Nintendo?s wildly popular games, characters and worlds.

The agreement brings two icons of entertainment together and represents a significant partnership for Nintendo as it expands the reach and popularity of its characters and intellectual property.

Universal theme parks offer incredibly popular, innovative themed family entertainment experiences based on compelling stories and characters ? using powerful storytelling and innovative technology. Nintendo has created remarkable and imaginative worlds filled with captivating stories and beloved characters. Now, for the first time, those stories and characters will be brought to life in entirely new ways ? only at Universal theme parks.

The immersive experiences will include major attractions at Universal?s theme parks and will feature Nintendo?s most famous characters and games. More details will be announced in the future, as the Nintendo and Universal creative teams work to create specific concepts.

Damn you ****ed up though Disney.

They should make Luigi's Mansion there, that would be a blast.

Sounds... interesting. As long as they make it for all ages and not overly baby-friendly.

 

[Spongebob]

They better make a Nook's Cranny gift shop

 

[P.K.]

splatoon paintball arena tho

there are so many possibilities for rides and attractions dang

 

[Stevey Queen]

Are they going to make a themed area or just pepper some attractions and shops here and there throughout the park?

I suggest option A

There needs to be an Able Sisters where you can buy those stupid T-Shirts.
Also we need a Mario Kart go cart Track

Glad someone has already started a thread on this. I think it's a great idea and I hope it actually happens, there's so much potential. I hope to see the following attractions: Luigi's mansion horror house, Mario Kart themed go karting, some sort of Zelda themed boat ride based on Wind Waker, Metroid shooting dark ride, Animal Crossing‎ themed train ride, and literally anything Pok?mon themed.

I really like the idea of that! I've not been too supportive of Nintendo lately, but this seems like a decent move.

[Lissly]

They better make a Nook's Cranny gift shop

[Paperboy012305]

Koopa Shell Tea cups anyone?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Was betting you'd have a thread made when I found out about this.

Looks like we're gonna have to plan a trip there whenever this stuff gets built.

 

[Tao]

They need a Punch-Out ring where you can fight against a Mike Tyson clone.




Also a random guy dressed as Glass Joe for those of you who don't have ambition.

 

[Ramza]

An F-Zero roller coaster that gives riders whiplash.

 

[pokedude729]

I hope there will be a Mario Kart Go Karts.

Or maybe the'll base it like the Park surrounding Baby Park.

 

[PlasmaPower]

Maybe some sort of Star Fox Arwing simulator?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Maybe some sort of Star Fox Arwing simulator?

They have a Spiderman ride at Universal that could easily pull something like that off.

 

[toxapex]

I want a disgruntled employee moping around in a Zipper T. Bunny suit

 

[Beleated_Media]

I would want an official smash bros tournament area in the park, or something that is themed around smashes competitive play.
