What ever happened to the robocoaster? Did themeparks lose intrests in the idea? It may call for a 'wicked turbo' time! I think that it would be fun to be able to ride something like this. I don't think any themeparks has gotten one of these yet though. Oh-well! It prob. didn't end up working or something then it would cost them too much to keep it maintained and reliable.
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!

Legoland California has one and from what i've heard the capacity is bad. The capacity issuse is probably the main reason it hasn't takin off.

actually I think LEgoland CA has 6, but they just opened. But yeah, in the end low Capacity makes them unprofitable unless you charge an arm and a leg for a ride.

There is one in the dells though. Alittle pricey, but well worth it. not sure if it's advertised, may have to ask for it and it costs the most, but ask for Program #5. It's a ride you'll remember (also, wear protection if you know what I mean guys) :)

Of course the one that was at IAAPA for 3 years and free was the best one :)

No it hasn't been forgotten about. It said a Robocoaster with "3-d" is going to come out in 2008. So they are probably just working on ways to improve it.
