The Sum of All Thrills ride, sponsored by Raytheon Co., utilizes something called a KUKA RoboSim 4-D Simulator to power the attraction, where guests design and ride their own custom roller coasters and other simulated-motion experiences.

Disney is ABC News. Do not support them or other propagandists. The ride looks stupid.

I never go to Dismalworld or Dismaland.
They're like Vegas; they have enough money, they don't need mine.

My wife and I watched BSG every week. Those robots femme fatales were pretty fancy.
We are still negotiating the terms of an understanding, as to whether sex with a robot is considered cheating. :)

That ride will be stickier than the floor of a movie theater.
