nannerdw Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Wow, this is impressive! I don't think I would ride it, though. That guy's head came dangerously close to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is clearly misuse of company equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 omg :O that guy almost bashed his head (and feet, and arms and well.. almost everything) I wouldn't be on that for a million! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Haha that has to go wrong one day Cool concept though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 That looks cool! But too dangerous to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Looks like something they'd make you ride if you were late for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Coasters! Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 doesn't legoland have a "coaster" like this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster-inc Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 yeah, thats the point, hes made the hope you dont die version for those that wither want to see if they are still alive...... or want to die trying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCoaster Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Is the link not working for anyone else? It seems like work has been slow at whatever factory this is. I don't know that I would trust something like that just going off the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryd Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Original link seems to be bad.. Being it was hosted on Google.de you can get it here.. http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-7472502197006303244 There are some other videos of this attraction there too Another link that has been posted http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/robotic-arm-rides-5-cents/ Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme102 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 WOW I enjoy my share of thrills but that's just way too much. I see brain damage and/or death written all over this thing. I wouldn't go anywhere near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpia Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 WOW I enjoy my share of thrills but that's just way too much.I see brain damage and/or death written all over this thing. I wouldn't go anywhere near that. And how is this different than any Vekoma? Slamming your head into the cement on this thing couldn't be any worse than the backwards trip on a Boomerang.

itsme102 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well the boomerangs I've been on haven't been that bad. Even SLC's haven't really hurt me much. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I still will never go near this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCoaster Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The fact that the little strap from the 5 point harness can touch the ground at times would make me think I'm never going to get on that. I'll take the no death, already proven Robocoaster, thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, though the whole head-is-inches-from-the-ground thing is considerably frightening, the program itself doesn't strike me as being any worse than the top program on the actual robo coasters.

Robbie Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 put some pads down and i'll do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 ^ I don't think the pads would do you much good with this thing. His skull would probably have a large dent in it had that thing gone another 2 - 3 inches lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 You realize that anyone can just buy one of these if they are rich enough. Go look at their site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Wow! Looks really cool. I've ridden a Robo Coaster, and i love them, but it was much higher off the ground. I would be actually quite worried about the concrete ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 i was just worried about home-made robo ride might crash into that ground but the whole ride looks like future themed cool one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
