Ah the evil 'cultural appropriation' strikes again! Because what enriches people culturally more than telling them that they're forbidden from exploring cultures other than their own or that you can't do things because you have the wrong language/birthplace/skin colour!

My feelings about France? Well they conquered us, then we occupied parts of France later on and there are influences from France spread throughout our culture and language(and vice versa). Not a great example if they want us to be outraged, we share a lot of culture with France whilst still being distinct, that's the great thing about sharing and learning about cultures.

As for the review, I get a lot was closed but it would have been nice to learn about what actually was there.

Everything about the Mario Kart ride sounds mindblowing so I'm trying to think of a way it can be implemented that's realistic.

Cars like the Ratatouille vehicles that are trackless and free roaming yet have Spiderman/Transformers levels of motion for spinning, jolting when hit and simulating high speeds.

Interactivity would have to be limited for the steering, both to stop it being a 'lesser' experience if you're in charge of items, acceleration or defending (which are likely the other 3 roles) and because free steering could break the ride (people could find ways to jam the vehicles). It'll be limited to avoiding obstacles and 'barging' into other karts with the occasional shortcut chance (wouldn't surprise me if this part of the patent is dropped) 

I think overtaking would have to be handled automatically. You hit someone with an item or your score overtakes the leader and the cars re-arrange themselves without any steering needed.

I'm incredibly hyped for this ride, it's exactly what the park needs to break away from the over-use of projection screens; given the dynamic nature of the ride, they won't be able to ensure riders are always square with screens so they'll be forced to make significant portions of it physical.

Screamscape reporting that the dueling dragons could be replaced by a powered inverted coaster along the lines of Arthur and the Minimoys and the How to Train Your Dragon ride. Seems a good idea. The Gringotts Bank coaster showed how popular a big budget family coaster can be.

Does leave the park pretty limited in terms of intense coasters though.
