Mario fans get excited!! Ever dreamed about the possibility of racing a car around a track like Mariokart or dodging barrels from King Kong?? Well today marked a great announcement that could see this come to life here in Orlando!
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.
This 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.
This is the second big announcement from Universal this week alone!! First King Kong is announced to make his return to the parks, and now Nintendo will come to life at the parks as well! This is a great time not only for Universal Orlando, but for theme park junkies all over the world as well! For me, this week has gotten me excited for what is next for Universal Orlando!!
