Universal Orlando may be developing robocoaster

Some small details of the featured attraction that will be housed within Hogwart's Castle in the future Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando have been leaked.

People "in and around the project" have told The Orlando Sentinel that the new roller coaster will be what's known as a "robocoaster." This is a system similar to Robocoaster found at Legoland Park in Denmark. This, however, will differ in that it will be a movable, rotating robotic arm attached to the coaster train. So the idea is that the robotic arm will swivel and move the seats as it makes its way across the track.

Early plans have the roller coaster winding though more than a dozen scenes, though the details of what those scenes may be is still a mystery. The queue line will supposedly feature many special effects such as floating candles and snow.

Stay tuned for more information as it is made available. [Via The Orlando Sentinel]
