One thing that theme parks love to do in order to offer a great attraction while saving huge amounts of money and (equally as important) space, is to build rides that offer simulation. What these generally consist of is an enormous screen in a dark room, coupled with seats fitted with hydraulics, surround sound and other special effects like compressed air and sprinklers. Together, these create the feeling of being on a roller coaster while not actually leaving the room.

Usually these kinds of rides focus on experiences that simply impossible to physically construct. In fact, Universal Studios has pretty much mastered them by now: they've got Transformers: The Ride 3D, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, The Simpsons Ride... even Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey is a more complex version of this. It's all but guaranteed, then, that they'll do something similar for Nintendo.

It would make the most sense €“ both in terms of thrill and offering an experience the traditional roller coaster can't €“ to utilize Star Fox.

Flying through space in an Arwing alongside Fox, Peppy, Slippy and Falco would be brilliant, engaging in dog fights, blasting to different locations using Warp Zones and finally taking on Andross. It would be similar to MGM's Star Wars ride but with vastly improved technology given it'd be a modern construction. Who doesn't want this to happen?
