Just came back from the park.

The closest thing to Spyro I found there was one of the hidden levels within the disc of Spyro A Hero's Tail is being built there. Yes you guessed right, Hogwarts. lol

Did you read the original post? This has nothing to do with the thread; please try to stay on topic.

What about Gibson?

Gibson is an American musical instrument company that only makes guitars.

The only part of Gibson that might be on a Spyro game is that there might be a cutscene that features Spyro playing guitar or something.

and i agree, product placement in Spyro just would have annoyed me more than anything.

Wow, good thing that didn't actually happen. I can't see how that would have even worked unless they planned on slapping Toyota logos on the tanks or something.

Seriously, putting real world brands and logos in stuff just ruins the immersion unless it's actually supposed to be a world like ours. This idea just made no sense and probably would have made me dislike Toyota.

Toyota vehicles will be included in Universal's interactive games such as Spyro the Dragon.

I do not think this was going to be serious, probably just a small example of what Universal's tie-in with Toyota would've done.

I found this searching for info on Spyro at Universal Studios Hollywood. There is barely any evidence of the character existing there other than a few old photos. I've just been visiting the park as of recent. Going tomorrow!
