Here’s more about that ride from Yahoo:
Each kart for the ride has four seats, and riders will have some control through the steering wheel but it’ll also be on rails. The AR headset will give users the opportunity to collect items and throw shells at other karts on the track. Nintendo and Universal is already rumored to be building an additional area next to the Mario Kart zone, with it expected to focus on Donkey Kong.
The announcement inspired excitement as well as jokes on social media. Check out a few below.
