Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Viator]

Yea. I think SFX coaster would work for Forbidden Forest or Guardians (which I think is what Guardians will be), but it'd be a disappointing choice for Donkey Kong

I am betting Guardians at this point on the SFX, as I actually have a feeling that rumor of the Intamin Family Launch would be a good thing to do for the Orlando scene on Forbidden Forest.

If this ride doesn't track jump it'll be a failure IMO

Glasses for what MK is bringing to the table are going to be a nonissue.

What exactly do you mean by that?

I think that'd be a serious disappointment for the FF ride overall. Motorbike coasters generally aren't all that good. I'd rather see something more advanced, but we'll see.

Yea, it's the staple of those levels. Not having it included would be a huge wasted opportunity.

Here is the thing to me, It doesn't have to be in a typical Motocycle coaster style seating; and that they can very well easily go for something more accustomed to the San Antonio coaster; Wave Breaker in how the seats are handled.

As much as I'd be wanting to see the SFX coaster; I think they will stick to Intamin for the Forest.

It should be able to 'jump the track' in a simulated way.

I'm fine with using Intamin. I just want something better than what we've seen from basically every motorbike coaster built.

And that I don't think that it will be like every motocycle coaster built thus far.

That said, :topic:

I would imagine that the Boom Coaster concept we saw previously from Universal IS the ride system.

If you mean the mine car we saw in patents. Yes. I do believe so.

Interesting survey going around right now involving Star Wars at DHS, nintendo and Marvel stuff, fyi.

 

[Imperius]

I want the patent coaster coming and not the Dynamic. Reason I asked is Magic is saying a different coaster design for GOTG and that cycle rumor for the D.C. Replacement.

The jump coaster will be 100 times better.

From Universal and is it confidential? Haven't gotten anything.

What does that have to do with DK?

Yes, confidential. My guess is they want to see which project to fast track, Potter or Nintendo.

Hmm, interesting.

The correct answer would be both, Universal. Both.

But if one has to be picked, it needs to be Nintendo. Untapped market. More Potter will bring in more money, but Nintendo will bring in more than just more Potter at this point.

Throw Marvel in there too for good measure.

If they start closing down parts of kidzone in September (rather than waiting until after HHN), then I think Nintendo may be fasttracked. I also agree they should fasttrack both and have both by 2020.

I still haven't heard anything about a Dragon Challenge replacement, (except on this forum.) But I am hearing lots about KidZone replacement. That's my barometer on which may be happening first.

But still a chance they just go all in and start both projects after summer. Who knows.

I think both will be under construction by January 1

I usually get all these surveys. This is a dissapointment I missed this.
