Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

Are you sure. I thought Mario and Donkey Kong were going in Kidzone and everything else was being saved for the 3rd gate.

Don't pay attention to him he's been known to lie and by no means a credible source of news for anything.

Alright, here's my master plan for Mario Kart:

At the core of the ride, it is go-carts. The real twist, though, would be... AUGMENTED REALITY.
Either by enlosing the vehicles with transparent sceens or by using AR glasses (like they tested at Legendary Truth last HHN), you could see the items on the track without having to actually use physical pieces.

If you were hit by an item, the ride vehicle would spin out atop the base, and they could use localized GPS to ensure that the cars were actually incapable of REALLY striking each other. Folks in the queue would be able to see the real-life action through large windows, and see the AR details on screens.

With this technology, you can play in the real world, but see anything that Creative wants you to see. Maybe, in the corner of the lens, they could have an Iron Man style HUD showing your placement in the race and other details.

It's a bit lofty of a goal, but, by the time WE get Nintendo, I DEFINITELY think all aspects would be achievable, and I truly cannot think of a better way to portray Mario Kart in a theme park.

Only problem is I can hear people complaining about the AR glasses making them sick.

Yeah, but how else could you make an attraction of this caliber? It literally puts you in the game, and maintains it as a game.
Uni designs attractions to be intense, then neuters them as necessary.

Let's not forget that all rumors say this expansion will be very physical. Even WDW1974 has said there won't be many screens here.

The key to avoiding motion sickness is proper synchronization. It's a hurdle that has been overcome and will only get better.

As to what Jimmy said I hope he is not right. My theme parks days are limited since my kids are getting older and so I'm I. Don't know about the rest of you but I hit theme parks now because of the kids for the most part. No kids and I have other places in the world to entertain myself.

Jimmy is not and will never be right because jimmy is an entity that feeds off trolling and lying or is actually deranged.

The "thick" in his name doesn't refer to his last name, it refers to his skull.

Wikkler- Okay, that was screwed up, even for me.

... I like Jimmy Thick. I think he's pleasant.

You've never seen him push and argue with wrong and false information then, it just gets tiresome. Plus I have seen him get rude once or twice on here with that italic thing he does.

Sped24- Am I salty? Perhaps.

Sorry, I cant post proof without throwing people under the bus.

View attachment 134792 See that, thats a senior executive gold pass, thats what Comcast and Universal big shots use to visit the beautiful Universal parks around the world. Its a VIP pass for any and everything, and the only way to get one is to be, you know, a senior execuitive.That pass is how I roll now. Keep that in mind please.

Jimmy Thick-We Creative types love these forums.

More b#ll#cks from the resident expert....

Jimmy Thick- The only creative thing about him are the synonyms for his surname.

Good job removing your entire post. Too bad someone's quoted it already.

What's the plan for Toon Lagoon and other unused or under used places at Universal? Pointless not to fill out the existing property before trying to launch a completely different area miles away from the main property.

Rumors be rumors so who knows exactly?

Not Jimmy Thick.

Not Jimmy Thick.

Although not intended it looks like you are denying that you are Jimmy Thick (JT), Lol.

I no longer own any shares of DIS.

So, new possibility that E.T. actually could be going for this from JungleSkip a trusted insider on Orlando United. Not definite though.
