A theme park will probably cost them around £5bn to build and staff and they'll make that on merchandising and food alone in a few years. |
That's why I would suggest them partnering with say Universal Studios or maybe Disney. That removes the massive overhead of building the park and gauruntees millions of visitors every year.
It could also coincide with a movie deal with either Universal or Disney. If a "Lego Movie" can be a hit (a movie about a franchise of talking blocks) then I think a "Nintendo Movie" in a similar vein (CGI + comedy/adventure) could be a big hit too. Disney already kinda did this by aping Nintendo archetypes for Wreck It Ralph. I think there's potential too for a Kid Icarus animated series, Zelda live action trilogy/series (seems like every fantasy series from Narnia to Percy Jackson got a shot after LOTR and Harry Potter, why not Zelda?).
