Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Alicia]

Teebin, here's a solution to your heads in the way AR issue:



First 8 secs of this video is quite interesting... Still a work in progress, but the technology is getting there.

 

[Teebin]

Oh so they are getting there! Technology just keeps rolling along I guess.

Pokémon E-ticket, if they wanted to go the easy route, could just be a safari that goes horribly wrong, like Kong, but Pokémon instead. I know I would ride that in a heartbeat and not care at all that it’s basically Kong/Spider-Man

And it's going to roll faster and faster with each new generation that comes through.

NO, we already have:
Spiderman
Kong
Forbidden Journey(kinda)
Gringotts
Fallon
Minions
Simpsons
Transformers
F&F
do we count Shrek?

I would very much be happy if Universal could avoid having rides largely consisting of looking at a screen, let's get some innovation PLEASE.
(BTW, sorry for :horse: but I just realized how many of these rides there actually are in UOR)

He's talking about the feel of the ride, not the same kind of ride.

ok sorry, I just don't want anyone giving up and saying "well I want this property so bad you can just put in a bad ride with the name and I'll be happy"

To bring something up, Theme Park University picked up an article on a MK ride system rumor, the Duel GP.

I mean, I don't think many of the rides you listed are anywhere near "bad" though

I think they meant rides that something goes wrong, horribly wrong.

Very cool ride system... Although it's making me sick just looking at it.

Anyone know the manufacturer of this thing?

I do not believe this is what MK will be using. Not based on what I've been hearing anyway.

I don't believe the manufactuer has been said, and while I have actually heard of this being used in the past, but with 4 seats instead of 2, I don't believe it will be the ride system either.

Interesting.

 

[JungleSkip]

That ride system looks bad...so I really hope not. I'm hoping we have to pay more attention to the scenery and the scenes rather than trying to control our kart

 

[Teebin]

I would love to see a below ground bus bar. Would be great if they could spin in circles like that... at a controlled point in the ride!

If Mario Kart is anything like this, I'm one of the few they won't have to worry about riding. This looks like a horrible experience.

listen, I've grown up with these rides, and I do have love for them, but I like the practical rides better than almost all of the rides I listed, see my post on the favorites/least favorites thread.

That's not it exactly, that's more of a go kart mixed with a spinning coaster. I think MK would not be guest driven as they'd have to hit show effect intervals like with FJ.

But one of the things that makes Pokemon a bit unique is the constant addition of characters; if there's a way to make an experience that can change easily to incorporate different groups of the 800+ Pokemon and introduce some "replayability" then it makes sense to have something like that.
