Yea, thrill levels seem to line up with game demographics.

"Family friendly" is a spectrum. I would still consider Hagrid's and Everest, for example, to be family coasters. I would consider all the B&Ms, VC, IG, and to a lesser extent Cheetah Hunt and Rockit to be "thrill" coasters.

I could have said that a lot better but I'm just gonna shut up now. I've said enough over these past couple of months.
Eh. I don’t know anyone that would classify FJ as “Family Friendly”.

Having Childlike wonder doesn’t mean “only for children”. I don’t think the ride gives off that vibe anyways.

Perhaps not. Obviously FJ is more intense than say MIB. I should modify my original statement to say "intensity" is a spectrum--on one extreme end you have carousels, on the other extreme end you have stuff like Montu and Alien Encounter (my favorite coaster in FL and the attraction I never got to experience but most wish I could've).

Forbidden Journey has a 48” height requirement, same as Hagrid. It whips you good. I know plenty of adults that can’t handle it, let alone kids.
MiB and Mario Kart both have 42” height requirements.
Cat in the Hat is 36”.

I said childlike not childish
The land is not only for kids, but it's not *not* for them either
It casts a big net

But then people would complain “Why isn’t there a Mario Kart ride?” :grin:

First post here! Hiiiiiiiiiiii.... love all the info and great universal news and photos you post. I’ve been reading about the complaints of “Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge” and for some reason I just took this ride as an another level of Mario Kart. Like a “battle” or another add on to the game. Instead of a battle or a race it is “Koopa’s Challenge” for the Universal Cup. So it’s like it’s own unique level of Mario Kart.
Yes exactly. That’s why it’s called “Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge”.

I just don’t think people understand that. The ride looks phenomenal.... and I am confused by this whole complaint system. It went from “it’s all screens” to “there are no animatronics”....( they see it’s all sets and animatronics).... “it’s not fast! “
It’s a new segment of Mario Kart for the theme parks... I just don’t get the complaints.

It’s almost like Nintendo had a hand in building each attraction.
Now that we’ve seen 2/3, I’m sold on not only this idea but they’re method and their rides, DK wait and see though.
The fast part (or simulated speed) I understand as it's clearly possible throughout (see the last scene)
Ironically, I just watched a review on YouTuber that mentions they get motion sick very easy on rides and this ride didn't do that
I think the lack of speed sensation is intentional
Universal, in all reality, needs less rides that can potentially make you dizzy/motion sick while they need more immersive rides that rely on practical effects
This ride checks both boxes
As far as people saying it has too many screens.....suck on a Toad

Questions
1) Why have we not seen videos of the land at night
2) Are they selling Nitendo themed Masks?

I was saying that the first reaction to the leaked video was people saying “ it’s all screens” not knowing it was AR... and now people are saying the AR is terrible after thinking it was screens.
