When MSC Seascape sets sail from Galveston this November, it will introduce Texas cruisers to ROBOTRON, the first robotic arm ride at sea and the ship’s headline attraction.
ROBOTRON delivers a rollercoaster-like experience with a twist. Suspended nearly 175 feet in the air, the ride flips, spins and flies while pumping out guests’ favorite music.
The three-seat gondola moves in all directions, flipping riders upside down over the edge of the ship. Guests can customize their experience, choosing their own thrill level, music, lighting and visual effects.
“ROBOTRON is a thrill ride like no other, and we know it’ll make waves in Texas,” says Lynn Torrent, president of MSC Cruises for North America. “On board MSC Seascape, guests will find that ROBOTRON is a one-of-a-kind experience that combines cutting-edge technology with breathtaking ocean views."
"Texans love big adventures, and MSC Seascape delivers—with high-tech entertainment, immersive attractions and unforgettable Caribbean cruises," Torrent continued.
MSC Seascape, which will sail from a new terminal at the Port of Galveston on November 9, also features virtual reality flight simulator, virtual reality motorcycles, an MSC Formula Racer and an immersive XD cinema.
