Opening today , Epcot’sSum of All Thrillsride will interchange every time you ride . That ’s because you ’ll draw your design on a touchscreen calculator before hopping on .
Using prerendered chunk of track and a digital swayer , you’re able to shape the path of their practical roller coaster , bobsled racetrack or honey oil flight . ( Should you draw something that ’s impossible to perform , the system will guide and correct you . )
As for the simulation itself , your fate is in the hands of an industrial robot arm fromKuka Robotics , like you ’ve get wind in car plants . We can only assume that the golem shake you at mellow velocities until you feel featherbrained or sick , all while sports fan occasionally blow air at your face to model velocity .
Several years back , I test a standardized work up - your - own coaster drive at DisneyQuest . Some impression were in reality jolly terrific , but the customization was fairly limited and the simulators were far more typical . Knowing my well - being is in the compass of a golem that could literally destroy me makes the whole prospect sounds a lot more exciting . [ CNN ]
