Beyond just the look of these new crafts, Chapek also revealed the revolutionary new way they travel along the indoor coaster’s track. “This will be a coaster, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. We call it a storytelling coaster. But on this attraction, each cab will be programmed to direct your eye to the story happening around you. Instead of whizzing by the action, you’ll be fully immersed in the story from the minute you launch,” said Chapek.
