Nintendo Rides and Characters Are Coming to Universal Studios
 |
King Kong, meet Donkey Kong. Mario, meet Minions. Universal and Nintendo just signed a deal to license game-based rides, attractions and costumed characters to Universal theme parks. There are no further specifics announced, aside from the deal featuring “Nintendo’s most famous characters and games.”
So what would you like to see in a Nintendo Universal Park? Donkey Kongfrontation? Pikachu’s Seizure Spinner? The Legend of Wiener: Hot Links to Repast? Mario’s Mamma Mia Pizzeria? Starfox Simulator?
I’d settle for a really good arcade. But they won’t.
