    No one laughed at Ian's "we're gonna need a bigger float" joke 😔it got a laugh out of me
  • @repboy1
    It’s my day off , sat in bed with a coffee listening to this pod cast . Life is great 😊
  • I wish Super Nintendo had a Bowser power up band ;-; he’s the main villain it’s criminal that he doesn’t have one
  • @JFrombaugh
    If they don’t have Rosalina as a meetable character it would be a huge missed opportunity IMO, considering the space theme of the park as a whole.

    29:04 What’s funny is that this is specifically a Hollywood issue, whereas the Osaka park hasn’t had these technical problems, which I think is due to poor upkeep of Hollywood’s Super Nintendo World. The sight lines are poor, lots of exposed animatronic parts especially on the second floor, damaged props, seams in the set dressing, and dirty walking paths/peeling paint. All of these issues aren’t the case in Japan because the general upkeep of the park is better. The broken Band scanners on Mario Kart are no different. Maybe it’s just a difference in customs or practices between regions? Who knows. I hope Epic Universe doesn’t have the same maintenance issues Hollywood’s been facing, since it’s near identical to the Japan original in design and functionality.
  • "The Checkpoint Pig" Excuse me, his name is Professor Chops! To add an additional comment, I've always been worried the DK coaster will be pretty kiddy due to the single cars and unique track. I've still got my hopes up though. It's my most anticipated ride.
  • I wish the elevator into rhe land was its own warp pipe that made warp pipe sounds as it went up
  • @Mattriarc
    35:32 The unappreciated "I just wanna bang on my drum all day" joke got me good 😂
  • Oh, to be able to join this group and openly discuss. A dream! It is a little weird there wasn’t more Madagascar added in. Curious what other priorities deserve representation.
  • @thedalekditto15
    You mentioned how you don’t like saying when there are elevators because it’s assumed, but as an Ada person who kinda specializes in Ada often, I would still love to know where they are planned to go, as often elevators are placed in ways that make it’s so in a wheelchair (which I am) miss out on notable parts of an experience. Sounds wonderful that that doesn’t seem to be the case here
  • @therealventures
    Great podcast as always. I hope they get to keep the starfall racers name. I'm excited for Super Nintendo World. All the rides, especially Yoshii!
  • @hiboi6936
    Collectors gonna go wild with the bands and super completionist and do everything with each version of the band
  • @Zanair
    I know it hasn’t opened yet, but I’m really excited to hear that there are plans for a Zelda themed area in the future. Pokémon has also been speculated, but I would REALLY like to see a Metroid area!
  • @kentslocum
    I definitely think that Toadstool Café should have been enlarged for the Florida version of Super Nintendo Land. Sure, there is a LOT of dining options in Epic Universe (especially in Celestial Park), but everyone wants to eat inside Super Nintendo World, not outside. I think Universal should have taken a few pages out of the Fastasy Springs playbook at Tokyo Disneyland, which is doing themed dining properly. There is a massive amount of seating inside the Arendelle castle, and a large amount of space inside the Snuggly Duckling, and a lot of space at the Loookout Cookout.
  • @-sidjfd
    I think it’s great they’re marketing “no screens” Refreshing compared to the last 2 decades if they’re acknowledging it as a selling point Also just this whole park will age less poorly this way Wait also at 25:43 - what’s the 3rd Banana drink character? The Minions and Donkey Kong and who else?
  • @dermot864
    Agree with Ian, would be cool to see Mario tech and how's it going, but not excited to ride the attraction, but Donkey cart would be cool! Wow! Nintendo was supposed to be the first to be announced! make sense, cuz we already knew the content
