c0sterfreek Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Any one heard of this? http://archiv.kuka-roboter.de/robocoaster/english/index2.html Sounds very unique and cool!
Ambydupuis Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 There's one (well... actualy 10) at Legoland Germany, It is a very interesting and fun ride. After the neverending queue, you receive a magnetic card, you put it into a computer and you decide the ride you'll experience. Yep, that is the fun part, there are 4 or 5 different intensity levels, all of them proposing several figures. You can chose up to about 5 figures, from different intensity levels (Am I clear ? think not... ) The worst part is... it is too short, the good part is that the art is incredibly smooth, no headbangin whatsoever, unbeleivable, even experiencing the most daring figures. Very soft, end very intense, not B&M soft, better than that, zero vibration, none, nothing, nada ! Only pure intensity. The ride can take you upside-down with an incredible power without even a notch. Technicaly, it is superb. The quality of the ride yet depends greatly of the choice of your figures, that could be a problem, cgi animations are not that explicit on the programing console. Let's say I was lucky doing some catapult-like movements, my friends looked stuck on barrel rolls things. The lenght of the queue prevented us to make another ride, too bad because it is *that* good. btw the company is expert in building robots used in assembly lines in automobile industry, this would explain the high quality of the ride. I am waiting for more from Kuka, just try one.
Canobie Fan Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Its not a coaster at all.. But it is very very fun. I went on the one they have demoed at IAAPA like 5 times... The thing even had an on-ride photo (thye gave away for free ) Im the kid holding the video cam
SharkTums Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Legoland California is also getting about 6 of these this year. Putting them where Spellbreaker used to be. Elissa "I saw video of the German one, and it looks a lot better than ours " Alvey
Pure Randomness Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Wow a coaster where you can have it your way! Man, Spellbreaker was such a waste
kenshinmac Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Um I believe they are actually planning to mount the arms on tracks at some point... I'm still curious what happens if the arm fails if it is running on a track...
Twister II Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 this isnt really a roller coaster. More of a thrill ride
Corkscrewed Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Some people would still count it as a credit though! (not anyone here)
Pure Randomness Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Probably, since it is RoboCOASTER people will think its a coaster. Not a hardcore fan, but probably the GP[/b]
Vffreak07 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Looks fun! ( I love bringing back 2 year old threads) : ]
