RE: A Geeky Guy's Guide to Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge at Universal Orlando's Epic Universe

Thank you for sharing your honest and vivid take! You've perfectly captured the feeling of a concept that sounds great on paper but fails in execution. Your theory about the ride's "inspiration" is spot-on and gave me a laugh—it does sound exactly like that pitch meeting.

While the shooting mechanic can indeed be fun for kids, your review makes it clear the magic just didn't translate here. It's a great reminder that a strong IP like Mario isn't a guaranteed "slam dunk," and execution is everything. I appreciate you saving the rest of us from a potentially horrendous time

Thank You
