Nintendo are teaming up with Universal Parks & Resorts to Create the World's First-Ever Theme Park Attractions Based on Nintendo's Beloved Games and Characters.

Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts today announced plans to bring the world of Nintendo to life at Universal theme parks – creating spectacular, dedicated experiences based on Nintendo's wildly popular games, characters and worlds.

The agreement brings two icons of entertainment together and represents a significant partnership for Nintendo as it expands the reach and popularity of its characters and intellectual property.
Universal theme parks offer incredibly popular, innovative themed family entertainment experiences based on compelling stories and characters – using powerful storytelling and innovative technology. Nintendo has created remarkable and imaginative worlds filled with captivating stories and beloved characters. Now, for the first time, those stories and characters will be brought to life in entirely new ways – only at Universal theme parks.

The immersive experiences will include major attractions at Universal's theme parks and will feature Nintendo's most famous characters and games. More details will be announced in the future, as the Nintendo and Universal creative teams work to create specific concepts.

To be fair, I think almost everyone at one point or another thought about a Nintendo themed park. lol

There are no words to explain how hyped I am
I actually had this idea a while back, and told a friend "wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Nintendo theme park?" and now my wish is coming true
The Universal Studios park is pretty great so I have high expectations for this. I hope I get the chance to go there someday.

Minecart rollercoaster from Donkey Kong, Mario Kart-themed gokart track, who knows what else they could come up with but I'm hoping for those two personally.

Why would they remove the Harry Potter themed stuff? As far as I'm aware they're just expanding the park

Also have Mario-themed platform stages where you stomp on enemies, jump around, run and beat the boss.

i don;t know i thought they had limited space, they removed the old park attractions to put in HP so i figure the just plan to reconfigure everything again

Hm. They might remove something, but it won't be the HP attraction, that's half the reason people even go to Universal Studios (and soon Nintendo will be the other half )

So much positive commentary... Yet I'm scared.

And sadly you're right with that.

..sorry, it had to be.

 

[the_randomizer]

Hopefully we'll get a sequel to the gcn launch title 'Universal studios'!!

And with less having to collect trash around the park too! Oh and being able to get on rides faster

 

[TJHeartnote]

Four words. Augmented reality pokemon stadium.

Well collecting trash will be someone else's job, but sadly, the time it takes to get on rides is pretty consistent with real life

Also have Mario-themed platform stages where you stomp on enemies, jump around, run and beat the boss.

If I wanted to exercise, I'd go to a gym.

um...
..people that know more about this kind of parks than me, please: Do you think Nintendo would be better represented (and would have a better reach) if it was partnering with Disney, other then Universal?
