There's a nice review today of Battle for Eire, at BGW, by Russell Meyer on Theme Park Insider. It uses a new type of VR mask, and utilizes the simulator in Ireland that's been used for 4 attractions in the past. This might be something that would work with Ready Player One, the Ride, if it ever comes to pass. Anyway, it's an interesting read, and a new take on VR.
To also elaborate, Eire also seems to be using more advanced VR tech, more-so than what we see at other regional parks like Six Flags and even Cedar, as Busch Gardens has worked with the HTC Vive technology (which is much beefier in capabilities than Oculus).
The only way I can see RP1 working, is if it's done similarly to Eire, but on a tracked level.
