Swedish tech company INNTQ has introduced Roco, an interactive roller coaster experience designed to bring the thrill of the amusement park to shopping centers and transit hubs, according to a press release.

Roco provides an immersive adventure in a 43-square-foot space that's different each time and uses 1.5kW of power when actively running.

Up to two riders can sit in the Roco machine's side-by-side seats and, after paying to activate, use a touchscreen to draw the routes and shapes of their roller-coaster track. Roco compiles the user-created tracks with randomized heights and loops, which riders then experience through the machine's 75-inch screen, motion system and sound and wind effects.

The 1,620-pound machine can be moved with a manual pallet jack to optimize different locations and requires no attendant to operate.
