Details have been revealed by MSC Cruises of its new amusement ride which will be on board its all-new ship MSC Seascape.
Passengers on board MSC Seascape will be able to experience ROBOTRON – an exhilarating rollercoaster with breathtaking views over the ocean.
ROBOTRON is a state-of-the-art robotic arm with an attached gondola that can seat three guests flying them 53 metres above the sea.
Riders will have a full 360° view as they hang over the edge of the top deck of the ship, twist and turn upside down in different directions, and flip upside down.
Additionally, ROBOTRON will offer a personalised DJ experience where passengers can curate their musical journey with colours, music preferences and more.
Guests on ROBOTRON will be seated behind a DJ booth, with the rhythm and bass visualised as colourful patterns, pulses of light and people dancing on a giant video screen all while the robotic arm is bouncing and twisting in tempo.
We are excited to provide guests with endless high-tech entertainment options on board MSC Seascape to meet the desires of adrenaline-seekers looking to experience the latest thrills.
