This looks fun and interesting but I can't help but think a slow moving, interactive shooter type ride is just a bad fit for Mario Kart. As others have said Luigi's Mansion would be a perfect fit for this style of ride. Or even just a more general Mario dark ride. But Mario Kart specifically should have an element of thrill, in my opinion. I will wait to fully judge until I've ridden it of course...

This is definitely one you have to try in person. It has a much greater 'wow' effect when you're playing it. We tried it in Japan in November and it felt like so much was happening and felt a lot faster and more fun than it looks in a video. So much so that I'm watching this video because I couldn't take in the physical surrounds properly at the time due to how immersive the game was.

Trackless is a lot more expensive and tbh is probably unnecessary with the AR goggles on. Also trackless shuts down so easily if people drop something on the ride. Yes, trackless is the future, but if it doesn’t help much for an experience like this, why spend the extra money?

imagine an interactive darkride themed to luigis mansion with some comedic hints to the haunted mansion of course

Ok that was pretty good. The colors and especially the water special effects are really cool. And a good length too. I wouldn't be mad waiting for a bit to ride this.

Even without the glasses the look alone of the ride looks AMAZING.

After being somewhat underwhelmed with Web Slingers something about the movement and the simulation of speed was just perfect in this ride, and I cheered at almost every moment because in the moment it felt like my very childhood was coming to life right before my eyes. Ride it for yourself, or don't, but I will happily ride this over again and again.

I remember the Japanese POV and was worried that the lack of things (animatronics/figures) in the sets would kill the ride if you ever did it without AR, but those sets are SO impressive. I am actually really excited about this, looks so beautiful.

This should have been a fast, "Test Track" style coaster. Each curve could have a slight bounce to simulate jumping to drift, speed boost pads, simulated jumps and physical shells that bounce around the track... They really dropped the ball on this. Even Rainbow Road felt anticlimactic.

Universal sure does love rides with Screens

Rainbow road part was pretty cool before the AR. Even better after

This really should've been a coaster, but at least it's an actual dark ride and not another motion sim

Thank you very much for this and the comparison! The AR is the BIG difference here, and rainbow road is definitely highlight. Looks amazing!! I just wish it went much faster and bigger for a Mario Kart type of ride, but I guess this is as best as possible.

I love the Mario Kart Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood - it’s my favourite

I hope Universal Orlando brings something more thrilling

This is without the A.R. I wrote it yesterday and it's very impressive with the AR technology

ARE YOU READY TO RIDE THE SUPER MARIO RIDE??????

They've gotta make a Luigi Mansion ride

The projection mapping this team put together is totally sick!!! love it!

I’m here because of Bill Burr

I'm just really glad that they used so many elements from MarioKart Wii, especially the MKWii menu music at the station. Even they understand that MKWii was the strongest title in terms of music, theme, and nostalgia.

That was so cool!!!! Both with and without the AR glasses is neat. I loved the rainbow road part at the end pretty awesome!

So this ride seems like a slower version of Radiator Springs Racers, but with more with AR.

This is one of those attractions you really need to check out for yourself to see what it's like you can't really take in what it's like to experience it without being there as it will look very different with the glasses 😀

I love it how the ride goes slow so people like me are not scare and people who have issues with fast rides can still ride it because it’s slow and if they have problems with things like the ar they don’t have to use the goggles

I’m really glad you recorded through the headset. It definitely makes the ride.

It looks pretty cool. Think it would be better if it was a trackless ride.

Wow! I didn’t even know Team Bowser could win! I rode this ride twice this weekend and both times Team Mario won

went 2 days ago and super nintendo world is the best place ive ever been

This is THE most incredible thing I have ever seen. My mouth was wide open with joy just sitting watching this at my computer... As a lifelong Mario fan from Mario 64 on, this is really special to see.

This is really cool the sets are really impressive. I do wish though that the actual karts themselves moved faster. I love the feeling of going fast and nailing all the turns in mario kart and I was hoping this ride would encapsulate that more.

THIS RIDE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Have a perfect slow moving theme for Luigi mansion Used it for a fast paced kart race

I was hoping it was gonna be a thrill ride like the Cars ride at Disney. But I will say this is a total upgrade in terms of rides for it being at universal studios hollywood.

Those are some pretty amazing sets! The land itself is awe-inspiring. But would've expected a Mario Kart ride to be... idk, faster?

This makes me that much more excited for Epic Universe. I know the quality will be better. Cool effects though. ~Orlando resident

better than Universal Studios Japan, it's much bigger and many other characters, if go to japan it took almost 2 hours waiting time just to play this, it's insane

This is super cool. It would be awesome if they had like a Mario Kart inspired bumper car racer as well. That maybe times the racers on who can complete 3 laps in the quickest time, with a scoreboard and such.

Not gonna lie, that looks fantastic!

Exciting to see with the AR glasses!

Yay I don't have to worry about drops or loops 🙂

My one critique would be for the general park area at 0:03 - 0:30. They need to tone down on the "coin sound" because after just a few seconds of that, I was already getting annoyed by it. It's one thing if I'm actually getting coins in the game, but that sound without any other context is plum annoying.

Very beautiful ☺👍

LMAO THE AREA MUSIC IS JUST MARIO COLLECTING COINS AHAHAAHAHH its sounds like a meme now

the sounds are giving me nostalgia 😭😭
