Man this land looks amazing and lush. I hope we have the tunnel like Japan to lead into DK country.

I mean that’s the only way we get into the land from the main SNW so it’s probably exactly the same.

I believe they just keep separate stats per land, as it’s stored in the app for each resort and not in the band is all.

yeah, the band only has an rfid chip in it, the software is your phone.
I think it's classy Universal doesn't force people who visit more parks over the world to buy a new band every single time.
I'm wondering of anything what you do can add something on your Switch or Switch 2 in the future like a cart or suite in Mario Cart 8 or something.

I’ve been hoping for the longest time for an in game tie in for Mario Kart where we get a “Universal Cup.” The track I have laid out the most is one of those long tracks that you don’t actually lap “around” and each lap is a different section. It would be based on Back to the Future: The Ride (Hill Valley 2015, Ice Age, Cretaceous Period).

With amiibos being NFC, that's not actually a tough thing to quantify; NFCs are a subset of RFID. It would be amazing if Nintendo developed something that let their NFC reader pick up on the RFID frequency of the bands to allow unlockables in a game like Mariokart.
That's next level thinking right there.

EDIT: I'm now sad that the bands themselves don't actually store the information from your account on them. It would be crazy if the bands told whatever game on Switch how many stamps/trophies/coins i have on my Super Nintendo World part of the Universal app.
(i'm at 95/132 stamps at USH!)

Shrubs and trees grow fast in Florida. See Diagon Alley back wall & Hagrids inside area. In a year or two you won't know the wall is there.

I can't wait to see that portal lit at night! I'm hoping it's got some fading/twinkling lights too.

Noticed some pretty interesting differences between EU's and USJ's versions of DK in Bioreconstructs latest aerial video. It's easier to notice now that we know what we're looking for. Yes I am bored at 2AM how could you tell?

1. There's a lot more foliage between the turn into the track jumping showbuilding and the wall, so now you're not just staring at an ugly facade on the way in.

2. Waterfall (we already knew this though)

3. The second drop theming is completely different. I pointed this out in their DK thread, but the real track was very noticeable in this section. There's no fake track in the valley and you ramp off a fallen pillar. In our version, there's fake track in the valley and the ramp, with pillars on each side instead of one as the ramp. Such a weird difference.

I don’t think this is Universal related but I also don’t know what it is related to. You’ll notice it’s not Universal or SNW-themed.

I swear I just saw a bus with this wrap in San Francisco last night, but I might be going insane.

 

[fryoj]

Yeah, that's not a Universal bus. Or electric. Or new. lol

I can understand the confusion though.

Crashes into us,
..to die by your side is such a Wahoo! way to die ~

I really don't know how to feel about this entrance compared to the Osaka and Hollywood entrances.
