Figured this deserved its own thread. Not surprising in the slightest, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Would love for Universal to learn from Japan and adjust some of the kinks regarding Mario Kart. The two major issues seem to be ride speed and the sheer amount of sensory overload. With a brand new park, they could solve the speed issue by increasing the size of the show building. Scenes like Rainbow Bridge, and the very start of the race work so well in regards to speed. Im sure with more space they can increase scene length thus improving the feel of speed in the ride. The sensory overload would probably be an easier fix by just adjusting the sheer amount of “stuff” happening around you in the VR. If they can work that out, the ride would be greatly improved IMHO.
NopePlus the reviews of Mario Kart and Yoshi's is lack luster at best. People seem to love the "Land" but the rides need to be updated before they come here.

The rest were just thought provoking YouTube comments such as: OMGZ MORE SCREENS IM NEVER GOING TO UNIVERSAL HOLLYWOOD AGIAN or THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A COASTER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PARK
Oh I get there is some disappointment for someWeelllllll...I get that it's mostly second-hand comments, but first off, those two reviews were not glowing, and second off, it's clear from comments on several forums that people were expecting a fast ride. Now, I think if it had been fast people would be complaining about not being able to race alongside and interact with the characters and collect coins--but until AR advances to accommodate greater speeds, I don't think MK was necessarily the correct property choice. I think they could've had an actual "Super Mario World" ride in addition to the walkthrough challenge without it feeling redundant.

I agree, I don't want to keep bringing it up. It just pisses me off when I see people bashing a ride that hardly anyone has actually ridden.We don't need to re-litigate that discussion but I fall on that end of things, you can't say "people think it's disappointing" about a land in Japan that hasn't allowed foreign travel yet.
Was there doubts for VC? I feel the hype was always high for that.I agree, I don't want to keep bringing it up. It just pisses me off when I see people bashing a ride that hardly anyone has actually ridden.
Once it is built in Hollywood and Orlando and everyone's given it a go, then you can gripe all over your theme park blog, until then, stop reviewing a poorly filmed POV
Same thing happened with Veloci, everyone released their think pieces about how it has a bad layout and pacing issues...then it opened..people rode it..and they ate crow
