UNIVERSAL CUP.

*$*F. Universal Cup. I seriously didn't expect them to this this land into the park as heavily as *that* detail.

AR CONFIRMED! Headset looks kinda bulky though.

Great to finally see the queue!

LOOK AT THIS ARTWORK

Bruh.....Bruh.......BRUH!

BRUH.

I can't stop wowing over those images! HOLY SMOKES.

That image of the entire land looks absolutely surreal! It looks like something straight out of a high-res PS4 game! WOW!!!!

I like how "thick" those lapbars look. Give some implication the motion/spinning will be a little intense. Looking forward to enjoying this on my backyard in Hollywood when it opens. Sorry Orlando.

February 4th!!!!!!!

AHHHHH!

EDIT: Also someone call @Cup_Of_Coffee, he's gonna have a heart attack.

I will admit, I'm a little dissapointed there's (probably) no Bowser animatronic in the queue/pre-show. But the Mario characters haven't really spoken in full sentences (and the ride itself is packed to the brim) so eh, its fine.

One thing I also noticed was that the karts in the queue are on some kind of base on which the karts could spin.

Double post, but new info:

Themeparx.com found this nice video which offers longer, more detailed shots of various areas around the land:

I really hope Hollywood's show building looks just as great, especially with the theming and the bowser statue. All of this is so freaking breathtaking.

 

[Jerroddragon]

Man, this is going to make me love the Hollywood park even more. I doub't i won't have an AP for a long time...its under 200 bucks and just to get to walk around Nintendoland, Potter and Springfield is enough to justify the cost.
The Mario Kart ride, could not be done better this looks like the best version of what we could want from this ride. I highly doubt anyone will argue this wasn't done in the best way once they ride it.

My only concern about the ride is that while I trust there will be a descent amount of practical effects on the ride, I hope they don’t use the AR as a “cheat” to replace effects that could’ve been done with practical effects. I hope they will only use AR for bonus effects or enhancements where needed.

This looks ungodly good...

Given all the rumors that AR might not have been ready upon the ride's opening, I'm sure the ride was designed to cope without it if the tech didn't pan out. That said, I'm glad those rumors didn't pan out. Perhaps COVID gave them some extra time to work out the technological bugs.

Universal are killing it.

 

[JaySalahi]

OMG Christmas came early, been waiting years to see these pics and it has surpassed my already high expectations so far, wow.

 

[Nick]

And the factually incorrect/hyperbolic headlines have arrived quick!

Earlier than expected

I thank you all for the notifications....

Now I need to go breathe. THIS LOOKS EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD HOPED.

Also, over/under on the price of the Koopa statue getting into Williams in Hollywood one day? And over/under on how much I’d spend to have that in my house??

Everythjng looks so worth the wait, so worth the wait.
