So yeah, now going three times to Nintendoland and overhearing others having my same feeling of the Luigi Mansion part of the Mario Kart ride is the coolest part and seeing the art of what could have been an attraction where Panda Express and the other restaurant is I decided to think of a way to squeeze in the best attraction you could into that pretty small space and while I think my idea's are too large for that plot of land (without some extra changes to the lower lot) I'd still like to talk about what it could be.
So my idea would be you enter Nintendoland and turn directly left and basically make a U-turn into the small area that is the extra bit of Peaches castle (that has the 2D Peach in it if you use the power band) You made that a walk way to a mini area with Luigi's mansion as the center point and only thing really in the section of the land.
The ride to save space would use the new escalator/shooter ride tech, The Mansion would be 2 stories, you'd start by entering through the gate and then take a turn in front of the Mansion as you get to its big Doors which are closed.
You'd then be in the outside Q which is a haunted garden (could also have the Boneyard and Country yard if there is room) . Thinking in the Garden you could have AR goggles, similar to the Binoculars on Mt beanpole (maybe they are themed like Telescopes), and be able to see boo's move around the garden. Along with interactive objects throughout the Q that you can activate if you have a Nintendo band, like for example making a Pale of water rise up and water flowers or making flowers change color/light up or make a boo appear in the reflection of the fountain etc.
You'd then move inside to the Laundry room where you can use your bands more to make ghosts move objects like have a Laundry Machine turn on with a ghost in it or shake around. This leads you into a hallway leading to the main entrance where you see the other side of the front door. The Elevator is out of service (unless you need to take one to get up stairs) so you have to go through the some themed rooms like The Rec room, nursery, tea room, rooms from the games and hopefully one of those rooms can have a mirror that you can use your band to make a boo/ghost appear in it along with other effects you can turn on with your band. (best part too is while those with bands can activate most effects like Potter wands these effects will be easy to still see and be entertained by even without it)

When you finally get upstairs you are now in Professor E Gadd, mobile lab that he set up in the attic. After a little more Q you get to the Pre show which is Professor E Gadd, showing off his newest toy the Poltergust 9000 (sponsored by Universal), E Gadd needs to clear this mansion of ghosts so that Universal can film it's next big movie here and thats where you come in. After showing you how to use it to capture/shoot ghost you off and the next room is the leading area.
Now since your on the second story the ride would be you on escalator's and it would be slowly descending so the ride can exit on the first floor. T make the ride to make feel unique from the minions ride could us AR tech so Ghosts can surprise you and fly out of walls like in the game. Also like those old shoot ranges I'd want some elements in ride physically that if you shoot would cause chain reactions and make objects move. For example shooting a candle and the fire lighting up and then projection of a tarp on the wall burns away to reveal a secret little spot with high target ghosts to shoot. Another example would be shooting a book latter and it moves and ghost fly out of the bookcase worth more points. And of course King Boo, Luigi and Polterpup will all be on the attraction.
After exiting in the gift shop, hopefully they could add one...or two Nintendo Band games. One idea I have is you stand in front of 5 mirrors and King Boo splits into 5 and his crown is passes to one ghost to another and you have to guess which Ghost has the crown. Another game could be (and honestly besides being surrounded by mirrors not sure how this one would be themed) you go to an area where 6 ghost surround you and you press a button next to the ghost mirror who is coming toward you and it makes a light turn on and they disappear but if a Ghost makes it to you before the timer is up you lose. Another fun game could be a a hide an seek game where a few ghost hide in objects and you have to guess which ones they are in.
Also a Fun thing to do with the bands or just let everyone do is a place where you can go infront of a mirror and use upgraded SLOP tech and transform you into a Ghost. and be able to email it to yourself or upload it to your photo pass.
Anyhow I know this isn't a perfect description of the entire ride but more an overview with some fun ideas. I think being about to shoot objects and have chain reactions that allow secret's with high scoring ghosts would lead to it being a very easy ride to repeat and not feel like you've already seen it before. Also if for some reals the physical sets for the ride cost too much they could be tone down to more screens which would suck but I'm willing to make the sacrifice if it means we get an attraction like this in park
So leave a comment below and tell me what you think and what Idea's you'd have for a ride based on Lugi's Mansion/the Q and or Nintendo Band games you'd like to see if the area could host them. (PS the area doesn't have to be where Panda Express/other restaurant area is just using it as an example because of the leaked blueprints for a ride in that area)
