The new Libre hotel to the rescue... even with walls we should be able to see over from there.
More detail visible of the entrance plaza and warp pipe:


EDIT: is this new artwork?!?

I'd like to point out what looks like a Jungle on the right...

That's actually a smaller backdrop for Yoshi's Adventure. Although above it appears to be a larger flat backdrop as well.

Still not entirely sure what the plan is for the land below the bridge. Sure, when DK opens that will be the perfect entrance spot but by Spring 2020, will that area of the land just be a dead end with nothing to do?

Probably a meet and greet down there for now.

If they build a connection to Potter they can put an exit under the bridge to the right.

Uhhh, could be that the Mario Kart ride vehicle?

Seems to me like the closest bet from what we've seen. I assume you're talking about the red vehicle, and not the blue and grey one correct?

Back makes it look like the batmobile.

Also isn't MK rumored to be 4 seats to a car?

Also, seems like a lot of companies were trying to be the provider for Mario Kart, at least from all the different patents/new tech we've seen that could replicate a Mario kart esq attraction. This could just be another one of them but it does look like the closest to what a Mario Kart vehicle would look like imo.

Observations:

1) I'm digging the green field background between Yoshi and Bowser's (also to far left of bowsers). That'll be similar to Kong's mountains/fog. Universal relies on those murals quite a bit for added depth and I really like them.

2) Notice the binocular/viewing area on the bottom right? AR viewing area confirmed!
Edit: I also notice another set of them just to the left of Yoshi (below the 4 coins). So that will be viewing the other side including Peach's castle. Nice.

3) What are all those small clocks for just to the left of the mushroom building on 2nd level?

Some games like 3D Land/World (which the look of the land seems based on) have challenges to beat levels in a certain time. Collecting those clocks freezes the timer for a few seconds.

I'm sure there are even more AR viewers throughout the land, but I did spot them in at least those two places. I added labels for easy viewing yesterday:

I guess it's time to add your webpage to my favorites list... :wave:

Is there a play area on the ground floor as well?

Not that I am aware of. Restaurant seating for most of that left side. Main gift shop on the right side of the bottom-level. Nothing but stairs/elevators in front of the Mario Kart building at back-left of the land. And Team Member areas in the rest.

There will however be lots of interactive touchpoints, etc, throughout the land, even on lower level.

Seems a bit of a missed opportunity to not put dining or at least something else more than just the entrance/exit inside Peach’s Castle. Could’ve had animated paintings on the wall for a bit of unique entertainment.

Also you know what I think would’ve been a cool addition now that I think of it? A Mario kiddie coaster with this music.

So much music I want in this land I’m sure to be a bit disappointed

Am I going to be able to hit a question box and get a coin....

Apparently yes.

The lobby of Peach's Castle is rumored to be themed like it appears in Mario64 and Galaxy, so, that's pretty cool actually. There really can't be much to do inside of it though, as it would block traffic passing into the land.
