Seeing a take from @JungleSkip on Twitter and I very much agree; that unless if MK is botched..this is going to be the land to beat in the decade. Universal has already done it again, from a visual standpoint--as they captured the feel that the Mario locals have.
EDIT: Well, well, well.

Love the quasi-polygonal look
EDIT: Also kind of surprised that this could have opened a month from now and we still have no official Mario Kart concept art. No queue art, no load art, no nothing.

I think 'Mario Motors' is the gift shop next door, you can see it in the pic below from themeparx (which by the way I think you are fine to post links to)
Yup--in the leaked model art, the gift shop was named Mario Motors (although I believe there was a different logo than this, if I'm not mistaken.
The attraction should be just called as "Mario-Kart".

Thanks for confirming.
This does look amazing. Note to Disney - this is how to get value for money out of $500m
Really looking forward to seeing all the themed food and merch - hopefully soon!

At this point, they really are seemingly getting finished with this land; as I'd wonder if we'll get something in information by the end of the month, pending if Japan doesn't have to close.

Not to bring the mood down as this looks fantastic... but... people often complain/make comments about how the Wizarding world in Hollywood has views ruined by office buildings or the back of Dreamworks theatre, but they did their best to cover up existing structures. I really feel that SNW has damaged views within the Wizarding World in Japan.
Althought there has been some effort it just feels like the beautiful black lake vista has been affected:

Perhaps another year or two or three of tree growth will alleviate that issue from a ground level view..

I really hope so, not sure if they have planted new trees, think these are mainly the existing ones so not sure how much bigger they will get.
we need our tree expert Teebin....He can probably research how tall that species will grow yearly. My guess though, is that most of that wall view will ultimately be trees.The towers will probably still be evident though.
I honestly can't care. I'll take some visual intrusion for an amazing land every day of the week.

Never judge these exposed areas based on pictures. Always judge them in person.
Remember the (I think an electrical transformer?) building that was next to Hagrid's track and was simply going to ruin it's sight lines?
Then we rode it and no one could possibly see it?

You offering to pay for me to take a trip over there to investigate?!?
Probably right, Hollywood isn't that noticeable in person.

I am wondering once the parks open when we see some marketing and stuff going on for Mario Kart. I mean we don’t even have concept. Anyone in the know have any idea when they think we could get any? I know everything is unprecedented and unpredictable but it’s like killing me lol
