EPCOT has added a new ride to its fleet in Orlando. The ‘Sum of All Thrills’ uses robot-arm technology that Universal Orlando is also believed to be using for a new Harry Potter ride

Guests ride the Sum of All Thrills simulator ride at Epcot, during the grand opening of the attraction at Walt Disney World, Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2009. The giant robotic arm –the KUKA RoboSim 4-D Simulator– powers the riders’ experience, in which guests custom design their own thrill ride using math and science principles, and then ride the simulator.
