Here's some news of another theme park opening within the next couple of years. This time it's for South Korea in the form of Incheon Robotland; a park full of rides, attractions and exhibits dedicated to everything robotic.


The plan:

So what do we reckon? Intamin MegaLite/Acceleratorn, Maurer X-Coaster and some form of robo coaster concept? Also the Vekoma Soarin' knockoff whatever it's called

Looks like they have big plans, no doubt hugely IP based. However, as long as they keep the consistent theme with the IPs I see no reason for it not to work. It looks very much like Epcot, but more heavily reliant on the robot side if you ask me. Could be one to watch

The coaster that goes through a tunnel in the water could be somewhat interesting - would that be a worlds first

No, the Japanese beat them to it:

Although it's not quite the same as DC: Vanish, the end of the first loop on Hulk is set below the lake. Even though this coaster may not be the first to go through a tunnel beneath water, it still looks fantastic. Let's hope they build something resembling it!

I'd like to think it would be a big Intamin mega/giga with the I305 track. Mack would be okay if they aren't going for something really intense and it would make sense as the park seems more family orientated.

We'll have to see.

It's all fun and games until the robots begin to rebel.

I was wondering if Terminator would make some sort of appearance at this park. It would be kind of rude not to invite them!
