Universal has twice successfully created a slow moving ride with the illusion of high speed and chaos that a four year old can ride. Of course four year olds can also ride Test Track so you’re claim that even a fast ride system would be inaccessible is wrong.
You should tell Universal Studios Japan. I gave their requirements.

I would like for you to show me where I said that either RotR or Smuggler's run were bad. I didn't.

I didn't say kids couldn't ride test track. I said a 5 min (or 4:28 as has been pointed out to me) test track system would be the size of the entirety of USJ. That is a non-workable solution.

I can think of one.

Which again ignores that Universal has already successfully created two rides that are physically slow but successfully create the illusion of speed. The second was also designed around an incredibly tight space.

Mario Kart is a party game. I can go faster in Sonic Generations than I can in Mario Kart 8.

Ah yes. The screen rides everyone loathes and never wants Universal to build ANYTHING like ever again. EVER!!!!
If Universal built a screenz! Mario Kart ride we could cover all of Orlando in the frothy foaming of the apoplectic Diznerds.

That other games are faster is completely irrelevant.
What you claim is the defining characteristic of a Mario Kart game, the shooting, only works on the ride with screens. You just keep contradicting yourself.

This was the Mario Kart of the past. Since Wii, it’s been all about the items. “Item smuggling”, which involves purposefully falling back to get better items and carrying them to the higher places, has become a more prominent strategy in 8 Deluxe rather than “skilled racing”. That’s why I dropped the game so quickly.
It looks plasticy because the game they based the land on looks plasticy. That was the common complaint with 3D World. No idea why Nintendo pushed for that, but you can’t argue that Universal did a poor job at accuracy. The complaints should be “they should’ve based it on a more inspired Mario game” or “the main ride shouldn’t have been Mario Kart, it should have been based on this game”. Not “this is nothing like Mario Kart 8 and 3D World” cause it is.
I’m happy with what they made. It looks really good. I understand it isn’t for everyone, and I’m not even a major fan of the specific source material. But the accuracy complaints are way off.

The defining characteristic of Mario Kart are the items. It’s always been that way.

What distinguished it from other racing games might be the items but it is a racing game and one that involves more than a leisurely pace.

But what you are asking for is the tiny VR lens (game screen) in front of a giant 3D screen to create the sense of speed. Why do I feel that you would have lost your chit if that is what they had built?
And how would a 12 person Kart have worked? Maybe they should just scale the 12 person scoop down to 4 people and blow the capacity out of the water. Even with duel tracks it would have two thirds the capacity of spider-man.

Also not all modes of Mario kart are racing....some are dedicated solely to hitting other cars with items since the inception of the game

Once again, I have concluded that nothing Universal does will ever be good enough for Diznerds.
Which really isn't all that surprising considering that even Disney can't do anything good enough for Diznerds.

So now you have to make up scenarios and decide for me?
Oceaneering has already done the work of reducing their imitation of the Spider-Man ride system down to a six person vehicle, the EVO-6. A four person version shouldn’t be that hard. Capacity would also not have to be a direct scale down compared to Spider-Man. Seeing as Mario Kart already uses a four person vehicle it stands to reason that a different four person vehicle traveling at a similar speed could hit a similar capacity.
Your constant defense of Universe is that they somehow cannot do what they and others have already done. It’s even more ridiculous when they occur near simultaneously. Maybe you’ll get lucky and Jurassic World will be a plodding bore so that Universal doesn’t open yet another slow ride that successfully imitates speeds.

I'd add that the effect in Earthquake that took you between stations was really well done.

Battle Mode has been acknowledged. It’s also a secondary, or even tertiary, component of the game. The ride is centered around the Universal Cup which is shown in the queue with all of the other trophies that comes from the races.
