Super Nintendo World: 8 Bold Predictions For Universal's New Theme Park
8. Peach's Castle Will Act As The Park's Centre
One of the most immediately recognisable structures in the released concept art for Super Nintendo World is Princess Peach's castle, specifically the design of the building found in Mario Kart 8. The castle dominates the lower left portion of the image, and appears towering over the rest of the park.
It makes sense. While Universal Studios and Disney World are two very different parks, they're both in direct competition, keen to offer what the other does while also retaining autonomy.
With Super Nintendo World, it's possible Universal will try and capture some of that Magic Kingdom magic, using Princess Peach's castle as the focal point of the park just like Cinderella's castle is used at Disney.
It's a smart move from a design perspective, too. Guests can never become lost or disorientated if they only have to look for the giant pink castle sitting above them, guiding them back to the centre of the park.
