MSC Cruises Announces Ride Attraction on MSC Seascape
MSC Cruises has announced a new ride that will be on MSC Seascape called ROBOTRON.
The top-deck attraction is a robotic arm with an attached gondola that seats three guests, flying them around nearly 175 feet above sea level. Riders will get a 360 degree view as they flip upside down and hang over the deck, and they’ll be able to customize the ride’s thrill level.
ROBOTRON will also act as a moving DJ booth, with music and colored lights that coordinate with the ride’s movement.
This is the second theme park-type ride to debut on a cruise ship, as Carnival Cruise Line launched a roller coaster on Mardi Gras last year.
MSC Seascape is set to begin sailing from Miami to the Caribbean this December.
