Review №1

This ride is 100% one of a kind. There is no other operating attraction of this premise anywhere in the world, making this a must experience at the park. The ride is a robot arm, commonly used as factory equipment, but it has been converted with a specially made attachment, which are a double set of seats. (The seats and over the shoulder restraints prove to be comfortable for what they are intended for.) There are 5 levels of intensity, each with more interaction. Level 1 has no inversions, level 2 has a 90 degree rotation sideways, level 3 has 4 inversions, level 4 has 7 inversions, and level 5 has 10 inversions. There is also a notable increase in speed per level. (Speed ranges from 6 to 28 mph.) Because of all the inversions, the shallow lake, and all the flipping in the air, this is one of those rides that is arguably just as much fun to watch as it is to ride. However, the ride has issues. The robot arm was not originally intended to be used as a thrill attraction, and Legoland did no modifications to the actual arm to change it, or have it be custom made in any way. This mean every time the arm stops in place to change directions, or begin an inversion, it is a sudden slam into the restraints or headrest. The slam is a similar feeling to being on a super smooth roller coaster, and having the brake run be instant. Because of this, it is required to remove any and all accessories, including hats, glasses, watches, rings, necklaces, earrings, sandals, and even contacts. This makes it the most annoying attraction to ride if you like to wear all kinds of accessories. Even with the slightly painful slams, and the obnoxiously long wait times due to low capacity, the ride is still a truly remarkable attraction, and was a silly concept very well executed.

Strap into seats attached to a robotic arm which swings and spins riders over a shallow pool. Riders are able to pick one of five levels of increasing intensity. Must be a certain height to ride level four and five which go upside down.
