I looked into every possibility of flat rides, including ones like this, and came to the conclusion the dome would need to be two or three times larger in diameter to get the height they need. Even if this was what they were putting in, the water pipes are directly under the centre of the ride pit, this type of water scenario was definitely something I thought about and then when these aerials showed up in August I went back to the drawing board

So I find it incredibly hard to believe it's a carousel. I didn't have the concept art when I began measuring up for the mack thing

That is interesting. At first it made sense as it's not unheard of to have a flat surrounded by water (One Fish, Two Fish...Dumbe, etc)

But the arrangement of the pipes is quite strange

The Twist and Shouts make sense

Whatever it is, I believe it to be highly custom, so we may be trying to shove a square peg into a round hole

Well the work up I did and explained on Twitter was shoving a round peg with exactly the same diameter as the round hole so...

I think off the shelf flat ride with elaborate theming makes sense, whatever it is. But custom designed unique carousel would’ve been nice.

I'm very disappointed that it won't be the carousel....but I'm sure that it will look very nice no matter what it is.

I’ll repeat - I have no reason to believe the carousel (actually a merry go round) is cut at all.

What do you mean by “traditional” Mario ride ?
Click to expand...
The rides in SNW will be based of Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, and the Yoshi series of games. The mainline Super Mario Bros. games will not have a ride through attraction, althought the interactive elements of the land and the overall aesthetic and appearance are representation of those games.

The traditional Mario attraction is the interactive stuff. It literally ends with jumping on a flag pole!

Agreed 100%. Just explaining how there will not be a traditional ride for the series. It translates much better to interactive expereinces anyways, they were smart in thinking what properties to attach to rides.

Hypothetically speaking if the Carousel isn’t cut where would it be placed in the park ?

I don't think a wave swinger is the type of ride that belongs in a park like EU. Disney tried to make it fit but it just screams amusement park/carnival. I can see a larger capacity twist n' shout with water elements that dance around you with lights and a good score. That, to me, beats a carousel any day.

I think a wave swinger in the appropriate location could fit in any theme park.

I think one, if themed well, could actually fit in the EU hub. They have a very elegant look at night.

It’s one or the other. Not both.

I’m really confused and don’t know who to believe because your saying it’s canceled and then Joe saids it’s not.

Different sources giving different info isn’t too uncommon. I’m taking the wait and see approach that it’s Schrodinger’s flat ride until I see what actually gets built.

I’m just stating that I believe we will either get a carousel, or some other sort of flat ride for the hub, but that there is only room for one in the space.

We can take bets on which one it’ll be, but while I hope it’s a carousel, last I heard it is not. Or at very least, it’s not THE carousel that was initially planned like 3 years ago, but maybe the merry go round thing Joe is speaking about was and is the replacement to the “fancy” carousel from years ago. In which case, technically, we all have the same info, but have interpreted it differently.

Now, having said all that, Tommy’s theory of the water splash thingy is interesting because not only did he show that the footprint for the off the shelf version fits recent construction perfectly, but that new concept art kind of looks like that type of ride.

BUT! The artist that created that art says in their portfolio that they only worked for Epic during the early blue sky phase, so that may simply be one of several early explorations.

But that’s the fun of theme park rumors. We have so much info, that we actually technically know nothing.

What if you are on a merry go round, horses, small things you can sit in, etc, all attached to the top of the carourel so it can go up and down...and than the floor lowers and water comes around the ride. Guests are flying above the water while fountains shoot up here and there.

You are literally straddling the horse and most just have a easily removable strap securing you. You would not want that with water under you unless you have a fully enclosed seat with a full restraint system. Not to mention you are alienating people with ADA issues.
