I went to USH last Saturday, I was just finishing my very long TR when my computer crashed and I don't feel like writing all of that again right now so you'll probably see it tomorrow. Anyways I was looking for one of the infamous Kuka arms all day and I never managed to find one no matter where I looked. I was almost finished with my great day at USH and I was disappointed that I wasn't going to find one. So I decided to head down to the Studio Tour since the line was short. I was having a great time and then our tour guide started talking about the new Fast and the Furious attraction that was being added to the tour, and would be finished this summer along with the movie. That was all that he said being sure not give off too much information about what was going to happen. All that I saw was a lot of bricks and "stuff" covered in tarps. I began to think that the Kuka arms had already been placed under the tarps and I had to hold myself back from jumping out of the tram. So then at the end of the Studio Tour we were waiting for a truck to go by because they needed it for the filming of the season finale Desperate Housewives.(sadly we couldn't see any of the Housewives) When out of the corner of my eye I saw a car flying through the air, and I knew exactly what it was, I was finally seeing what I had been waiting to see all day the Kuka arm. Now this is going to be hard to describe but this is exactly what I saw so I will use these this picture to describe it. (from Westcoaster)

 

look at the first and second picture:

Now, where the giant rod sticking out of the top and to the left is where the "car" was attached. the "car" was a hollow shell, kind of like the body of a monster truck, the whole thing was made of plastic. the rod was put into the very center of the car and it would spin it in 360 degree motions, kind of like it was doing donuts. The giant hinge that the rod is attached to would go back and forth, so where it is at in that picture the car would be on its side. This hinge could also spin in a 360 degree motion so now the whole thing king of looks like a mini much faster Topple Tower. Then all of the pieces that you see a hinge bends around in many different motions. Then the whole contraption moves back and forth on the sliding part on the bottom. I hope you understand that description I know that it is very confusing.

Now keep in mind that this moves very very fast and seems to have an unlimited amount of movements. I really think that this will be very cool and will be a great addition to the Studio Tour. I am just confused as to what it will do exactly. I could see it going underground that way it looks like the car is driving around, but that would be a HUGE hole to dig.
