I don't think a 5th gate is the answer. I think the answer was already given before the question was asked...and that was Star Wars land and hotel, Guardians, Rat, everything that was announced at D23. Disney was just ahead of the game there for once.
I think Nintendo will draw tons of people to Universal. It really is an answer to Star Wars, I am pretty deep in each fandom and I kind of think Nintendo has even more fans.
Being a Star Wars fan is trendy nowadays, but I don't really think most of the people buying the occasional Star Wars shirts at Target and seeing each new movie once in the theater will be itching to go to the theme park addition, or even hear about it.
I think Universal/Comcast is being very smart here. They've acquired their land, they've got a very popular new IP (Nintendo), they're putting the hotel and infrastructure in to handle more people, and at a much more attractive price than anything Disney is offering lately.
I can't wait to see what they dream up to go in their new park. I just hope it will be have a couple original lands, like the Lost Continent was.
