Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Mike S]

It will be a transitivity if they're not selling this as a cross promotion.

Even better:

Even better:

With a young Elijah Wood to take it to LOTR when it comes.

they should make a cafe 80's in the park somewhere...

So looking at his tweets, I think I've pieced together how he came about all this info:

The documents he posted with the long/lat coordinates and 8.8 acre project size are from the FDEP NPDES Stormwater filing for the project. That at least confirmed the location and size. Then he probably submitted a public records request last week with the City of Orlando for the ENG permit (ENG2017-00773) which likely got fulfilled today which contains the plans he's looking at/tweeting about.

You are right that what I tweeted is the NPDES permits, but you're wrong on the other count. It's obvious you've never requested permitting records from the city of Orlando if you think they'd respond in a week. But ENG2017-00773 is an important piece of the puzzle.

You shouldn't be so certain about how I did it. If you were, I wouldn't have tweeted it at noon and let every one of my competitors duplicate my request.

Doesn't mean there won't be SOMETHING Yoshi. The available plans are only early site work. It just won't be its own themed area, you get what I'm saying?

Because it wouldnt show up in these plans. I think it's still on, just not confirmed like the other two. See my previous message:

Yoshi lives! (I swear.)

I’m guessing, since I haven’t seen what he has, that he only sees outlines of buildings. In that case, Yoshi would not be obvious

Can someone find Project ID No. FLR20BM96 in NPDES permits? The site is not working for me.

This was found in Permit Number: ENG2017-00773:

The NPDES permit must be received in the Office of Permitting Services prior to the issuance of City of Orlando permits. Condition Met - 7/31/2017 - Project ID No. FLR20BM96​

Thanks sir. Appreciate all the hard work on this.

Well the only reason I went to the NPDES site was because of the mention of the "Project 487 USF Sanitary Study Calculation" in the ENG permit, but I don't know where to obtain that report. But hey, this is why you do what you do, you're clearly good at it!

Yes, I looked that up earlier. Chip tweeted the only relevant/important bits (long/lat, acreage). The rest is just generic forms.

I for one am really shocked to see IOA included. That came at me from out of nowhere.

That might be what they were considering for that MIB adjacent area (Nintendo 1.5), changed their mind, and put it into IOA instead.

In that case, my original theory of Pokemon takes over Toon Lagoon theater may come true. New mini-land, no need to lose another island.

Thanks for the hard work and the reporting!

I feel like Nintendo and the Pokémon Company would want Pokémon to be more than just a section of Toon Lagoon. I think replacing TL Theater and Dudley and overlaying Popeye would be a smart decision.

A wise choice.

Not a part of a Toon Lagoon, an island between Marvel and Toon Lagoon, and maybe could eat some of the shops/quick service locations to make it a decent size. Leaving the back half with the two water rides as Toon Lagoon.

Pokémon as a miniland would be a nightmare crowd control wise.

Welcome, and what a wonderful find you found. :thumbsup:

Didn't an insider on Magic allude to the possibility of Nintendo in TL a while ago? "I Don't Nintend to Infringe Your Ship," iirc. It's all making sense now.
