Well, Nintendo is planning on allying itself with Universal to create a new portion of an amusement park in the Islands of Adventure. I think that's bullshite, and Nintendo should do its own amusement park and really change the conventions of what one can be. Instead make it feel like you're playing a game within it and put the gaming experience within the park rather than just roller coasters. So picture the layout sort of like the Island of Adventures set-up:

Entrance: The Village from Animal Crossing: Got all your stores, some cafes, and mascots running around.

Left going right clockwise

Mushroom Kingdom: First a kiddy Yoshi roller coaster. Also have an explorable Peach's Castle (where you can also buy cake and sweets), and inside is Mario's Galaxy Tour, which is much like the Spider-Man ride and you go throughout the Galaxy while Mario fights Bowser. Luigi's Mansion would be here and be like the Haunted Mansion. And here's my best idea: actual fricking Mariokart. The karts will have screens on the steering wheels, and you can have banana peels which doesn't allow you to turn for 1 second, green turtle shells for blocking, red turtle shells for aiming, stars speed up your cart, lightnings slow down carts, and the spikey shell shuts down the cart in first place for 3 seconds. The roads will have LED solar roadway lighting to where you can see items and item boxes and will be based on Rainbow Road.

Donkey Kong's Jungle: The centerpiece here is the mineshaft roller coaster, and K. Rool's Krazy Kremling Tour. The mineshaft roller coaster is wooden roller coaster that goes in and out of mineshafts. K. Rool's Kremling Tour is a river rapids ride. Tropical food stands as well as daiquiris and beers are featured here.

Hyrule Castle Town: Hyrule has a log flume ride Link's Legendary Log Flume, Ganon's Tower (which would freefall tower), and Zelda's Merry-Go-Round. The village also features taverns, restaurants, a shooting gallery, a fortune teller, and the Happy Mask Shop. There would also be some sort of Fire Emblem ride in there as well.

Planet Zebes: This zone is all about shooting. One of the attractions would be this bad boy, but with a Metroid shooting theme: ( LINK). Next would be a slight roller coaster like Men in Black at Universal where you shoot at aliens, Metroid, and then finally Ridley, but moving more quickly.

Future World (Corneria/Mute City): First is the Star Fox ride. Will be like Back to the Future, but even more realistic and ridiculously retro. Next would be an Mute City Roller coaster, the fastest one in the park. Futuristic food is served here.

Retroland: All the retro games are here. First there would be a Kid Icarus roller coaster where you feel as if you're on your stomach and flying. Next would be an ice cream shop that's literally freezing on the inside in tribute to the Ice Climbers. There would be two major arcades here as well: Mr. Game and Watch's Arcade, which specializes in older arcade games (Donkey Kong, Duck Hunt), and then Wario's Arcade, which has newer games (Wii Sports and Warioware style games), some of which can't be found outside of the park. The goal of this land is to be the world's biggest and greatest arcade, to where any arcade and gaming disputes will be handled here. A big Nintendo store will also be located here, selling merchandise and games.

Kirby's Dreamland/Distant Planet: The kiddy section of the park. The Distant Planet part will be a major playground similar to "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". As for Dreamland, you have the typical Disney kiddy rides there, like a variation of teacups and Dumbo rides. If you've gone clockwise through the park, you'd end up back at the Village where you started.

Lumiose City: In the dead center of the park you have the Pokemon inspired area. It will be the largest portion of the park, with entrances from all other lands in the park. There are no real rides here, aside from an elevator to the top of the Prism Tower that gives you a beautiful view of the entire park. At the entrance, you can purchase a game exclusively to use in Nintendo Land dealing with Pokemon. Bring your 3DS and a team of your Pokemon you've trained outside of the park (note: they will all be level 50). There are 8 gyms in the park, and you'll face off with your fellow trainers in the gyms. You have to beat 2 trainers in each gym in order to get a badge. If you lose, you need to go heal your Pokemon at a healing booth within the gym. Each gym will have a different theme within, and it will be cool just to walk in and look at the gym designs. When you get all 8 badges, you can go to the Prism Tower and face off with the Elite 4, who will be costumed members from the actual game. If you win, you get the title of Pokemon Master and a metal badge free of charge. And please note that your badges reset each day after the park is closed, so you'll have to do it all over again. Granted, this may be a parent's nightmare, but a nerd's wet dream. There are lots of stores, Pokemon Centers, cafes, and bars within Lumiose City to keep parents happy.

Tell me that you all wouldn't fly for this park?

1) Would you not pay serious cash to go to this park? I think it's more impressive and interactive than anything at Disney.

2) Would you please submit my resume to Nintendo. If fricking Legoland could work, this certainly could, especially with the Pokemon centerpiece.

Good write up. It would be a huge arse park, like bigger than Magic Kingdom, but hell yes I would wear comfortable shoes and go.

I was talking with the guy I live with earlier about this and how awesome it'd be. Same concepts with lightning, blue shells, the bananas. I'd pay good money to play real life mario kart.

Yeah, it may be an island or something even smaller.

I am hearing toon lagoon or marvel island for Orlando. Disney is apparently working real hard to try to get the rights back from Universal and Universal is kinda weighing what they are offering since they can't update the park to reflect the MCU at all. They are pretty much just stuck with what they have right now.

Didn't follow some of the areas but liked most of what I heard. I don't see why Mario world wouldn't be the centerpiece rather than Pokemon.

But would definitely love a donkey kong tropical tiki world

I would definitely go. Put it in Tampa away from Orlando and the only competition would be Busch Gardens.

Because the Pokemon world is the best idea of them. Yes Mariokart is ridiculously awesome, but Mushroom Kingdom is mostly just rides. I'm really wanting to replicate gaming as much as possible. I put the Mushroom Kingdom very close to the entrances since it does seem to be a place most people would want to go to first.

But I want the Pokemon word centrally located because there's no way the lines could be long and I wouldn't want a gym more than a 5 minute walk from anywhere in the park. With the 8 gyms, I'd have 5 battle arenas within each one that would put the fight on angled big screens from the floor. That's theoretically 40 battles going on at once, plus 4 more if all 4 of the Elite Four are being faced off with. And with each gym having a different theme, they will affect the stats of different Pokemon. It's the best idea and would just by itself bring people to the park. Plus the city from the game lends itself perfectly to being centrally located; put a Nintendo logo on the top of the tower, and we're ready to go:
