Can't wait to wait in line for THE EVENT.
Same, really hope there is no substance to this rumour. A Zelda ride is my idea of heaven.I was genuinely planning to go to Florida for the Nintendo stuff.
Perfect representation of the franchise then.Because holy shit, that ride is offensively bad. It is loud, boring, and not even fun.
Because it'd go from "extremely unlikely to visit but still technically feasible" to "never gonna happen ever."it was only cancelled in America, it's still happening in Japan, where it will probably be bigger. So I dunno why the uproar
Harry Potter is Warner Bros, which has a huge presence at Universal Studios.My guess on the Pokemon thing is that Detective Pikachu is about to revolutionize how the mainstream public sees that IP and that movie is Warner Bros, not Universal.

I'd imagine something like what Disney does with their Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game. They have packs of playing cards you can buy and they have portals scattered throughout the park where you can battle Disney villains with the cards. Do this with Pokemon cards.Imagine a suped up Pokemon Go experience where you actually see the Pokemon around the park and can play Universal Pokemon Snap and interact with things in the environment (similar to what they do with the interactive wands in Diagon Alley) and even catch Pokémon.
Then Universal will digidevolve to Seaworld.
You do know they're building a full Mario Kart track dark ride and a Donkey Kong mine cart roller coaster for the Mario park, right?This stings but I can live with it knowing that it would have probably wound up being two motion simulator rides that last a minute and thirty seconds with a massive gift shop as the exit. That's all Universal seems interested in these days, anyways.
Plus, hey, we still have Mario and Luigi stuff to whine abo- I mean, look forward to.
Yup, that stuff all sounds great too! Let's just keep in mind though that these are definitley exceptions to the design philosophy that Universal has been using over the last few years. I wouldn't be surprised if these were the extent of the physical coaster-like attractions and we instead wind up with more Fast and Furious: Supercharged/Simpsons Ride/etc. motion simulators for the other Nintendo Land attractions.You do know they're building a full Mario Kart track dark ride and a Donkey Kong mine cart roller coaster for the Mario park, right?
They will regret this once detective Pikachu comes out and hit 1 Billion box office.
The Zelda and Pokémon additions were just a rumour to begin with, no?
So this rumour is the cancellation of another rumour?
No big loss, they'd just be cheap vomit inducing screen based rides like all of their other rides.
I hated the Jimmy Fallon ride. Ugh.The Florida park has Jummy Fallon: Race through New York. One of the weirdest concepts for a ride I've ever been on. Both me and my GF had the biggest WTF did we just experience look when the ride concluded.
Or more likely, they fast-track the whole thing. Universal likely still has the license, they're just not confident about making a massive change to the park based on it. Pokemon becoming a gigantic film franchise probably changes that outlook.They will regret this once detective Pikachu comes out and hit 1 Billion box office.
