I feel so validated with this review:
His criticism on Mario Kart is EXACTLY what I had said back in early 2021, and more. He honestly tears into it and I'd give the whole video a watch if you have time.
They really should had just gone with a non-interactive traditional Mario dark ride. Like Mario & Luigi teaching people the life of a plumber, and Peach commands them to go under under castle to fix a mysterious leak. Something where people would have zero expectations for what it is.
I really wish Nintendo was more hands-off with this part of the project.

Is it that you are not ALLOWED to ride it without the AR goggles?TLDR: He thinks Mario Kart is a conceptual failure of an attraction. Not like Supercharged bad or anything, but he doesn't think its well executed. He does agree though that regardless of his criticisms, the ride will always be popular.
Nintendo (and Universal Creative but mostly Nintendo) was so stuck on if they could, they didn't stop and think if they should.
They absolutely NAILED the land on all fronts, but I really don't know what happened with the rides.
I really hope we're able to ride without the AR in the Hollywood version.
Sorry. You can use any other opinion but I have a hard time having a discussion on the review from a man that spent a full decade crapping on Universal because it was "second rate" and not Disney.
Tom also proudly claims he’s not a theme park fan and is a Disney fan only. I don’t want to hear his opinions.
I've only followed his work (as I follow many in the theme park community) for the last three years, but I've never heard this expressed anywhere. He says all kinds of positive things about Universal.
Because it supported the opinion of the person who shared itTom who?
Why do we care about this randoms opinion again?
In reference to the Tom guy, not trying to insult the user's opinion if I wasn't clear on that (As I even agree with some of their points)Because it supported the opinion of the person who shared it
Nah I was just being cheeky with my response lolIn reference to the Tom guy, not trying to insult the user's opinion if I wasn't clear on that (As I even agree with some of their points)
I just have never really heard of Tom and his opinions sound like L takes anyway. His analogies (especially after reading the tweets above) just seem like we shouldn't maybe care a whole lot about what he says if he isn't a "Theme park fan".
Just confused by his statements here.
