Nintendo expansion in relation to HHN


Recommended Posts

At least in Toon you convert:

Dudley = Mario's Adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom

Popeye's = The Legend of Zelda: Journey of the Zora (complete with Water Temple)

Wimpy' Burgers = Lon Lon Ranch

Dagwood's = Pokemon Center

Then build the kid coaster that was suppose to sit between Dudley and Pandemonium (Rocky's Flying Squirrel Coaster) and theme it to Donkey Kong.

Instant Nintendo island. Then you can leave KidZone for something that's actually been a movie or TV show.

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong have all been tv shows and two of the four have had movies made out of them.

It should. It's the "kids" area themed to cartoons that haven't been on the air in a decade and comics found in a dying media.

And if Dudley were rethemed to anything, the adventures of a cartoon plumber can't get any more on the nose.

Getting rid of a kiddie coaster, outdated playgrounds, and a show based on one that's been off the air for several years are bigger priorities to Uni than getting rid of two rides that get long lines in the summer. Edited by Dead Inside

Okay, so if Nintendo goes into Kidzone and the MIB plot we could potentially lose two or three house locations (Sprungs and Parade). Rumors are also flying that there will be a Disaster replacement soon so that potentially takes another house location away. There are also rumors of a Twister replacement but that one may not lose us a house location so much as they would have to reroute the queue location (assuming they want the attraction open for HHN). Worst case scenario, we lose four house locations in the Studios.

Moving over to Islands, there are rumors of an upgrade coming to Marvel that may add a new ride so, depending upon the footprint of said attraction, we cannot absolutely count on the Carnage Warehouse. The Triceratops Encounter trails are supposedly going to hold a JW raptor meet and greet so they might be out as well. The other four locations (Discovery Center, Thunderfalls Terrace, Popeye and Bluto, and Poseidon) are currently 'safe' but in a few years, who knows?

With the dwindling house locations it might become harder to put on the event. Add to that the fact that having the event in two parks may not be profitable enough to justify shutting both parks down for the event.To me this begs the question, at what point does it become more costly to put on HHN than to not?

Personally, my friends and I only visit Universal yearly due to HHN, so not having it would remove our incentive to visit the resort every year. Remove HHN from the equation and you have lost yourself six regular visitors. Does Universal/Comcast know that an audience like this exists? Better yet, do we out of staters represent a large enough segment of their population during Sept/Oct for them to care?

And Tecmo owns Fatal Frame and Silicon Knights own Eternal Darkness.

And 2014 was the first profitable year Nintendo had in the last five.

Nintendo half-owns Fatal Frame and Eternal Darkness, although they don't have any ownership over Castlevania atm Edited by duh1011

If nintendo were to replace Marvel/Toon, we could actually have a viable reason to operate both parks for the Halloween Season. Mrs. Seuss probably wouldn't immediately reject the idea of Seuss Landing becoming halloween-oriented if it was family oriented. Warner Bros could loosen their grip on HP if it was family oriented halloween. Throw 'em a bone and maybe build some kiddie mazes.

Just something to compete with Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. That's probably the closest we'd get to a "Nintendo in HHN" scenario.

But for this year, HHN25, Nintendo will probably only show up in Bill and Ted's show.

Wouldn't Family halloween event with Nintendo be a separate ticket or part of the park admission?

Family Halloween in IoA would probably be separately ticketed from both HHN and day tickets, but they could have a park-to-park bundle for halloween, I don't see why not
