Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Legacy]

I like the idea that we get to ride our own Yoshi. So while kinda like Suess Trolley, it’ll at least be a more personal experience. I’m hoping it’ll have some sort of interactivity to it, like collecting coins or eggs or something. Make for good reridability.

I was thinking about this earlier. I hope they have it set up where, when it rains, they can throw an umbrella in Yoshi's hand so he's carrying it for you while you ride him.

Or maybe an alternate route like Kong?

You know, if possible both would be nice. Some sort of canopy for when it's just raining, and an alternate route for if it's thunderstorming. That way 2/3 of SNW's attractions wouldn't need to close during heavy rain.

Canopy maybe. Alternate route no, since it’ll be an omnimover type ride the path cannot be altered.

There is. But half the ride takes place outside. The queue and first/last part is in a tall skinny building in front of the middle of MK/DK.

Check out my new video for a better visual explanation. Been working on this all week. Let me know what you think y'all. (And sorry I'm fighting off a cold in the video.) It's the culmination of all my research thus far.

Congrats on the video. Is that your highest likes so far and views?

Where did this rumor of the Yoshi‘s being animated come from? In the ride-through videos I have seen, the vehicles were static regardless of all the animated characters around them.

I heard that a long time ago, but that could have changed.

Thanks! No, so far my vid on closing attractions has more views, but this one is the fastest climbing video I’ve done and will probably surpass the other soon if it keeps up.

Edit: oh, but the new one does have the most Likes already yes.

Someone please tell me that Yoshi won't be like that submarine ride at SeaWorld San Diego.

Jesus, that was bad...

Someone please tell me that Yoshi won't be like that submarine ride at SeaWorld San Diego.

What is even the point of that?

Christ... at least Yoshi won’t be a dry, flying submarine.

 

[JungleSkip]

Pretty sure Yoshi will still have real, substantial show scenes in doors

And some of you complain about Nemo at Epcot...

And some of you complain about Nemo at Epcot...

The whole ride feels like there once was a show building with a bunch of rooms and sets and somewhere along the way they just cut it.

I wonder if MK will have any actual speed portions similar to Radiator Springs. Or will all "speed" portions be done using the effect below?

Effects only.

I would cancel my annual pass if universal EVER!! (submarine quest)

I imagine it will move the same speed as your normal dark ride (i.e. Mystic Manor, Spiderman, etc)...

Low key, I've always wanted some kind of Submarine ride in IOA that took you "under" the lagoon..

It’s amazing how convincing the speed effect works. Add some flying past lights, add some wind in the face and it sells. Spider-Man and Star Tours has the tilting motion to aid as well.

Why would it be? SeaWorld is having money issues, Universal wouldn't even make this under Blackstone.
