aebalc Posted April 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I must have spent an hour watching the balls roll around in that contraption. Does anyone know who made that or where to find more info on similiar machines? The one I saw was on Adventure but I imagine they have them on more ships. Thanks in advance for any leads.

tommoore1 Posted April 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You have GOT to be talking about the Explorer of the Seas, right?!! I loved that darn thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Gopher Posted April 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Anyone got a picture of this? I am curious now. Do they have this on the Radiance of the Seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glgolfer Posted April 24, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Here's a picture. http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=showPhoto&albumID=452007004&photoID=1452014425043261172&security=EWCeNr You'll have to cruise on the Explorer to see everything it does. It's fascinating. It's only on the Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YogiDog Posted April 24, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2006 don't have a photo of the contraption but this link to a google video reminds me of that machine! We were bummed that they didn't have one on the Navigator - it is mesmerizing! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5503582578132361295&q=animation%20%2B%20music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted April 24, 2006 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine A great classic computer game, same principle as this machine on the Explorer of the Seas. This computer game really stimulates the mind and is a challenge, but it is so much fun. I am going to see if I can download it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennisLover Posted April 24, 2006 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2006 There's a HUGE one of those outside the science museum in Fort Lauderdale (it was there last time we went to the museum). My son could sit and watch it for hours. You may want to check it out next time you cruise out of FT. L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
