Just found this when sort of looking around for something else online - it reminds me a bit of the car that Sadie was riding around in, in the TV series adaptation of 11/22/63 - I know it's not an exact replica but it's pretty cool.

Not sure if I posted this before and cry your pardon if so, but this is just the coolest! It's a reason for me to try to travel to Shanghai because I want to experience this one for myself. Watch on the biggest screen you can (we have chrome cast so I watched it on my 4K UHD 54" TV)

This was really good combining the robotics aspects and actual set pieces integrated into film parts. The biggest thing I noticed? They weren't right on top of another boat, and other boats weren't bumping into the back of them! That would be a feat just to get through that ride without ganging up boats, crashing them on top of each other.

They are on an underwater track. No way to gang up since each boat is set in place like a link on a chain.

Yes, they do gang up at least in California and Florida they do. I've been on them when we've bumped the one in front and they've bumped us from behind and we all just sit there waiting for the gang up to get moving again.
