What is the estimated ride duration of Yoshi? I think that poses a better question than the layout because its the layout that make it seem like a 90 second ride vs a full fledged 5 minute dark ride.

Probably something in between.

I messed around with the layouts on Google maps. I used the old Kidzone plan to try and scale the Yoshi layout. It wasn't exact as the building perimeter on the layout, the water plan, and the model down't all line up. Ballpark it came out to 550 ft. For comparison, Buzz came out to 650 ft.

So probably about 3 and 1/2 minutes ride time, although it could actually be anywhere between 3 and 4 depending on the ride speed. That seems pretty reasonable if we consider scene timings of around 1 min - 1 min - 45 sec - 45 sec.

What song do you think should play from the loudspeakers as you enter Super Nintendo World? | ResetEra

Interesting resetera thread I came across. Thought it would be relevant here.

Is there any room or plans for a flat ride to be included or has this been completely scrapped?

In the new park for Orlando, they should have room to do whatever they want. (Doesn't mean they will, but they could.)

I kinda hope that they don't. There's really no need for it.

There's always a need for more rides. *Always*

I'm hoping FW has tons of attractions. Some filler would help in this goal. Every added attraction can boost park capacity, and get Universal closer to the size of Disney.

I look at some of the space at IOA and USF and think to myself how a "flat ride could fit there"... Kang and Kodos is a perfect example of them pulling the trigger on using a small bit of space for a flat. There's a bunch of tiny areas like that though, Green Eggs And Ham is one that sticks out to me.

Opening theme from Super Mario World, my first Mario game.

I’d cry manly tears.

Yeah the mentality of rides aren't necessary kind of defeats the whole purpose of the theme park thing haha

Slowly catching up and just read the article everyone's talking about. Great article, btw, @Alicia. I'm wondering if some of the final outdoor scenes for Yoshi will be spoiled since it sounds like you should be able to see it from Peach's Castle. Hope the ride will last at least 3-4 minutes. Other than the load/unload, the rest of the track is a literal loop with no switchbacks found on most other dark rides.

You can see the two final scenes marked on her drawing in the model pics that got leaked. Can't really tell what's going on, but you can see them.

There are elevation changes however, which I do not speak of in the story.

Super Mario Galaxy is a must

I do wonder if they'll create some original tracks for the land as well

I feel like they're not going to go with too much of the 8-bit style stuff

Yeah, I would think they'd use an orchestral interpretation of those classic tunes? I'm not sure if someone already posted this, but this essentially...

This. This would be my guess for much of the land itself. Perfect blend of old and new.

Nintendo has hours and hours of amazing music to use in the land.

So the BGM loop will probably be 15 minutes long like WWOHP is
