Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Imperius]

Here's to hoping that this shows up in the park somewhere, even though it might already be there in Mario Kart.

Yeah that looks like Mario Kart so we shall see.

Since we’ve already heard many times what Mario Kart will be, I’m already disappointed it’s not this. Wow.

This also would’ve worked great for F&F.

What if it is? We haven't heard of a ride designer/supplier for MK yet.

 

[JungleSkip]

That’s not what MK is. MK isn’t a coaster

The DPC can be a dark ride as well.

Still, it doesn't seem like it matches up. It would be cool, but the ride system looks like it takes up a lot more space than what MK will.

A lot of that stuff in the video looks like some of the patents Universal filed though, which is funny

You’re never going to believe who the manufacturer of Mario Kart was in the old plans...

Dynamic Attractions.

Dun dun duuuun.

Seriously though, multiple sources have told me that, recently, and back when the KidsZone plans were still active, so, when I saw that video, I kinda freaked out.

(Of course the original MK plans seemed like a basic busbar to me, but maybe they improved upon it... Or perhaps it’s been poorly explained to me.)

Wow...that is very interesting. Kind of want to go back to the patents to see if DA is involved in them at all.

Also, that would make the actual ride system for MK way more interesting for me...

It'd explain how in the old concept of MK, the seeming curves of the track being banked (and that descent).

..That said, it makes things a hell of a lot more interesting for Hollywood and Osaka, if they're still with Dynamic on those two versions.

I mean, I would assume the rides will be 100% the same from a ride system POV across every park.

 

[Alicia]

I don’t see anything crazy like the upside down bits, but it is interesting that the ride plans initially were two stories and then move to a 1-story layout. Maybe the new ride system needs more room under the path, and that was reason for the switch?

 

[Viator]

Just to remind, when did the plan change of the two story to one? Was that before, or after the motion of moving the originally proposed land to the fourth gate?

 

[Magic-Man]

Interesting...

Before. The final plans for KidsZone saw a 1 story layout for the Mario Kart experience itself, with queue and entrance on an upper level and entire ride on first floor.

Where is the video, I can't find it?

Strange, I don't see it in Google but I can see it when I open the "incognito" tab.
The tech used looks exactly what I was describing for F&F, cool.
