GENEVA — MSC Seascape’s launch this December will include the debut of thrill ride ROBOTRON, billed as a rollercoaster at sea combined with a personalized DJ music experience.
The ship will also feature two brand-new VR experiences and many other high-tech entertainment options.
“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. ROBOTRON, the first-ever robotic amusement ride to appear on a cruise ship, will create a new standard of fun with an immersive, customized ride experience, unique to each rider,” said MSC Cruises’ SVP Onboard Revenues, Brandon Briggs.
THE BRAND NEW ROBOTRON
ROBOTRON is described as a state-of-the-art robotic arm with an attached gondola that seats three guests – flying them 173 feet above the sea. Riders will have an unobstructed and 360° view of the horizon as they hang over the edge of the deck, twist and turn upside down in different directions, and flip upside down.
The ride will offer a personalized DJ experience where guests can craft their musical journey with colours, music preferences and more. Riders can also select the level of intensity for the ride, making ROBOTRON family-friendly as well.
