I can't wait, I hope Orlando gets the same treatment.
I'm glad I live in Florida.

Pretty sure Universal said their contract with Marvel can be renewed in perpetuity, but yeah eventually it will be replaced since I don't think they can really have new rides or other more modern Marvel stuff added. Even though they might keep it just to not allow Disney to add Marvel stuff to Disney World.
The problem is, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is one of Universal's iconic and key attractions in their repertoire, hence why Spidey frequently shows up with the Minions and Harry Potter in the advertisements for their Orlando parks. I can't see them giving up on one of their most popular attractions like that, especially since they recently refurbished and updated it not too long ago.
Eeeh. It's more like Universal perfecting what they did with Potter and being able to translate that into other endeavors. The Hollywood version of Wizarding World was slightly cheaper.
They're currently rebuilding the Hulk in Islands of Adventure from scratch. The Marvel area's going nowhere.
That's because R&D was primarily done. Unless they reuse the ride system, they'll be starting from ground-zero with Nintendo Land.
With that said, it's close enough in cost to not really matter imo--plus who knows what the actual license itself cost. I wouldn't be surprised if Universal got a deal on Nintendo compared to what Harry Potter cost
Indeed, but the Hulk is so barely themed as is, it's one of the easiest rides to retheme to something else. Again, they won't any time soon, but there will come a day when Universal will want to use that space for something else
Square one*. I don't think Universal is gonna drop a bomb on their park ;P
The true Zelda experience:
Wield the (plastic) master sword and destroy pottery to your heart piece's content
That term existed before 9/11 you realize
But yeah, Universal won't replace Marvel simply because Disney owns it--hell, it's free marketing for Universal. But they're also greatly limited in what they can do with the land, which is why they will eventually replace it with something else. It just won't be any time in the next decade. Plus they bought themselves some time with the massive amount of land they purchased, so they're no longer quite as landlocked as they were
I've never heard it used that way in my 31 years.
Glad I could help you learn a new definition today

Now go forth and stop everyone from saying "should of" and "could of"
Marvel is never leaving Universal.
Why are you people so sure about this? Have they confirmed this or is it all sill speculation? I mean it sound logical but AFAIK it's still unconfirmed.They will. Orlando and LA.

Something big will definitely be coming to Universal Orlando. Back in February Comcast announced they bought 475 acres of land adjacent to their parks for $130 million

Whilst that it is true if you look at the theme park community forums out there - the first part seems to be going where Kidzone is currently located.
Yep, ive read Peach's Castle (an idea that I quite like to see in real life), a mario kart ride with new technology (so Im pretty sure its not going to use real karts, so it would be mostly 3D screens or VR) and a (fucking) DK mine coaster.
Not the most exciting of prospects, thats for sure.
Thats no Nintendo land, thats mario kart land, the worst thing of all is it seems super plausible.

And yeah, Universal isn't going to get rid of any Marvel rides no matter how crappy they are JUST to stick it to Disney.

Wait two E-tickets(equivalent) and a handful of B ticket attractions. That is great
Plus to the bolded point how do you think your going to ride it then? Also according to those insiders Nintendo land will have fewer screens and more practical effects.
I expect it, though I think Nintendo is a property you could also easily expand upon in the future like with Zelda, Kirby, or Pokemon.
I'm really excited though about the potential of bringing those locations to life. Having people go inside a Mario 64 style Peach's castle would be amazing.

Trackless vehicles and augmented reality effects have been mentioned. Whatever it ends up being, it'll probably be someone we've never seen before.
There are so many different rumours out there that you dont know which ones to cheery pick right now lol
I still remember all those rumours pointing to toon town dissapearing from Disneyland to make way to the star wars land, and at the end it was thunder ranch the one who got (thankfully) the axe.
Yup. Made this for my animation project at university:

Was years ago (dont mind it being disney when i made it lol), but you can see how excited I am to see am project like this come tro fruition.
USJ and Nintendo recently signed a basic agreement to build a new attraction. Details have yet to be finalized, but the project is expected to cost tens of billions of yen and feature popular characters such as Nintendo's Mario.
The Nintendo attraction may open in fiscal 2017, part of the plan to constantly modify the park to rope in customers, including repeat visitors and foreign tourists. USJ CEO Jean-Louis Bonnier sees the park as capable of drawing 3 million to 4 million more visitors in the future.
