Would it kill them to make the spinning just a little faster and the drifting just a hair snappier?

I can't imagine it would hinder the AR integration. If it was, then I would imagine that would have been an issue if you were turning your head. They really should jazz up the rotation a little bit, especially considering Cat in the Hat is more intense.Considering the restraints there is no reason they couldn't do this other than the AR integration getting progressively more difficult to pull-off the more rapid the movement is. Something tells me the intention was to have a more aggressive ride profile but they ran into AR tracking issues and had to tone it all down. This thing spins slower than Cat in the Hat after they neutered that ride profile into oblivion years ago. And not to go on a tangent but Cat in the Hat went from a pretty fun chaotic dark ride to a sad couch ride through a warehouse after those changes were made.
M&M doesn't have magnetic AR goggles, so maybe that has something to do with it :shrug:I mean, even the Mickey & Minnie ride has a more dynamic movement profile than this…correct me if I’m wrong but that doesn’t have a height requirement either.

There is a Dinosaur or Indiana Jones type of attraction that creates some illusion of speed,Wouldn’t magnetic goggles be more secure than regular 3-D glasses? You know, those things that people wear on Spider-Man, Transformers, Gringotts, Fallon, etc. everyday with no issues?
As far as tracking issues, I’d imagine you could still have a pretty solid ride experience by just adjusting the AR visuals during the more dynamic parts of the ride. The outside is detailed enough that it’s not like the AR is absolutely necessary to sell the illusion.
In any case, the idea that the choices were either a high speed roller coaster OR what we got is a fallacy. There were plenty of in-between options and just because Nintendo may have signed off on it doesn’t make it a better ride from a guest perspective.
That's a great point actually! In that case I'm at a loss. I even would understand if they wanted to limit full-rotation spins in their a quest to avoid nausea (which itself is a fools errand in my opinion) but there is no reason the drifts couldn't at least have more "oomph." The ride system seems like a complete waste at this point. They may as well be using the SLOP ride system.I can't imagine it would hinder the AR integration.

I think fast/more motion may blur the AR image quality more and it would also cause A LOT more motion sickness.I can't imagine it would hinder the AR integration.

Don’t spam your shells, only use them when you have a clear shotA friend is going soon (if it’s open) when they’re in LA. What is your best tip for high scores? Idk if this is too spoilery if not. They’re a super gamer who do tournaments and such and they want to WIN the land lol
Thank you! I’m barely reading since I haven’t ridden but I copied and paste and sent to him.Don’t spam your shells, only use them when you have a clear shot
There is a hidden block in each room/level
Aim at the skeleton fish (in the water area) if you destroy the first wave more come out
In the Luigi mansion part aim at pictures/painting on the wall before the next area to unlock hidden enemies to defeat
When you get to bowser volcano spam it until he is defeated
When you get to rainbow road spam the bowsers kids without fear because Mario and friends don’t appear until bowser appears later in the area
You get 3 coins for every correct turn you make odd easy money, you get around 50ish coins just from sterring
Lastly you get zero points for hitting Mario and friends and there is a stamp worth 100 coins for not hitting any team Mario characters
Hope you guys have fun and the first time can be overwhelming, I didn’t even get 100 coins my first ride.
I decided I'm not going to even bother wearing them in the future. Personally speaking, I find the AR disorienting and the gamification tedious. There's a really excellent dark ride hidden beneath all that stuff and I prefer experiencing it that way (even if aspects of it are incomplete when you're going without the AR). Plus, I don't have to think about where those goggles have been.Something I noticed while riding later in day is the amount of fingerprints and smudges that accumulate on the AR visors, sort of hindering your view of the ride and quality of the AR. Not sure of a good fix for this other than wiping them down 2 or 3 times a day.

It pretty much had a 20 minute wait posted but was a walk-on all day. I think they stopped checking colors as early as noon, as they still let me on even after it was past noon. And yeah, they were indeed letting you go again with how much of a walk-on it was. Spent all those re-rides achievement hunting and I now have all the Mario Kart stamps, which is nuts.If you had Jan 29 previews and weren't able to make it out today, you definitely missed out. Never seen the land so empty before. MK never really had a line. I got 19 rides in (Yes, I kept count). This includes 10 consecutive rides without ever getting out of the RV (basically sat in the RV for an hour) and another 5 consecutive rides without getting off. That's how dead it was. Eventually, they just skipped the pre-shows for standby queue and stopped checking wristband colors. I rode til after 5 pm even though I had the 12-2pm slot. They weren't checking the colored wristbands since it was so dead.
