Six flags just announced a whole lineup of virtual reality headsets being added to coasters around their chain. I know something like that doesnt seem to go with universals level of immersion but a VR hulk experience would be cool
They're running a survey on this Six Flags Virtual Reality Coaster on Theme Park Insider. At this point in time 60% have voted that it's a terrible idea.
I just noticed the Samsung Gear VR advertisement on the Hulk walls. Does this mean it will be an option on the new Hulk and if not, what is it there for.I was just about to post this.
Samsung and Six Flags team up for virtual reality roller coasters
I know it's been mentioned before but I wonder how possible this could be for the Hulk. I always thought this would be a step too far given how many inversions it has and that people would be sick but if it can go on SUPERMAN: Krypton Coaster, then I don't see any reason why not.
It's photoshoped.I just noticed the Samsung Gear VR advertisement on the Hulk walls. Does this mean it will be an option on the new Hulk and if not, what is it there for.

I agree. Using new technology for the sake of it and because it's the in thing is not good. It's the sort of thing that is a gimmick for 10 mins.Its stupid....I'd prefer to ride an actual attraction, appreciate the scenery and the landscapes, versus experience it in a computer screen mounted to my head. They are trying to make something out of something that shouldnt be used in this context. I mean I'd assume they'd allow people to refuse to use it, but still.....I don't get it.
I used to say the same thing but then I demoed the system during IAAPA. I was genius, one of the best coaster experiences I've ever had. Now if only they can fix the capacity issue...I agree.

Like having a 3D TV at home, unless you use it everyday it's not worth it
Did you do the Freedom Flyer with VR at Fun Spot during IAAPA? It blew everything else on the show floor out of the water, first VR I've seen that really works.I had the chance to goof off with some VR tech at IAAPA and tbh I don't see it going past regional parks as an up charge addition. Disney and Universal have full blown virtual sets with intricate ride systems. They don't need these for anything major going forward

From yesterday; it seems that we are finally getting closer to finally getting to the lagoon portion.
