The patent filed which fits the bill for Nintendo ride
The patent, dubbed "Multi-passenger Ride Vehicle," is for a vehicle comprising of two or more passengers with user input devices at each passenger seat that can determine steering, acceleration and braking pedals, buttons or a joystick. Images included in the patent show riders split into four chairs in one car with two passenger back-to-back and the rear passengers in what appears to be a way to have riders both in sight of what's ahead in a race and what's coming from behind.

Wow so first of all this is actually for Orlando and this is assuming that this layout is real and will be similar to if not identical to what ends up actually being built - this can apply to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan because it is likely that at least some aspects of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios in Orlando are the same in Japan…
If this layout is legitimate it would match up with the previously reported location of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Orlando
