Well, they ain't gonna fling real bananas at your Kart.
Ok, so its that tech. Not surprised, just didn't occur to me of that before.
That's a lot of eggs to put into the Nintendo basket it seems...am I really the only person who doesn't see the mass appeal of this at all? Like at least with Harry Potter even though I hate it I knew it would be a killer land and make a ton of money. But Nintendo....I just don't get it :shrug:I'm still thinking that Japan will be the first park to get Nintendo-anything.
The news of Comcast taking 51% stake in the Japan park is 100% related to Nintendo's licensing agreement. In simple terms, Nintendo has agreed to license to Comcast and no one else (no joint owners, no third parties), but also wants a presence at the Universal park located in it's homeland. Rather than possibly burn a bridge with Nintendo (which holds grudges), they did the smart thing and took majority ownership of Universal Japan.

Mario Kart with SCREENZ?!?!?Nope.
Good guess, though. The hint is pretty obvious if one thinks of the tech Uni LOVES!
I heard they are still working out the kinks on how Mario Cart will work. Something along the lines of being interactive like a mixture of Harry Potter FJ and Toy Story Midway Mania. Like if you shoot a shell at another cart they will start spinning around and etc.
If I'm interpreting that picture right, does this mean Mario Kart will be a traditional go-kart..
No way your seeing a real Go-Kart attraction in Universal. Money; the stentch of gas, and refurbing the karts so often would be why.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was Universal's first mini autonomous vehicle. I do not know this at all and I am just trying to think like UC. It is what I would shoot for to create a more random experience. What do you all think?
The closest thing i'd think be possible for a Autonomous vehicle is a Trackless dark ride.
I would not be surprised if Mario Kart relied heavily on trackless tech
Is it bad that i'm expecting its a Trackless dark ride? With every little nugget of news for this one ride, it more and more makes me think that a Trackless is definite for this attraction
Why cant we have a trackless ride system, where 4 cars, 4 people in each car, race side by side.
