Six Flags wants to offer you VR roller coasters!
Looks like there is going to be a new revolution to roller coaster rides!
Samsung and Six Flags have stated that virtual reality experiences will be coming to eight parks in the US and Canada, end of this year.
The company that introduced North America’s first VR coasters earlier this year, using Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus, will allow riders on an all-new 360 degree adventure in ‘Rage of the Gargoyles’ which is said to be a chilling, futuristic battle between good and evil featuring an interactive roller coaster gaming experience.
A report by Engadget simply explained that the Gear VR will be doing all the work while riders need to just hold on to something tight, whatever the ride offers. It also pointed out that the company might offer a HMD UI to guide through the entire expensive as well.
According to Business Wire, Six Flags President and CEO John Duffey says, “One of the most exciting things about this technology is that we have the ability to change the storylines to offer our guests new thrills and new reasons to visit our parks. Just like the Superman and New Revolution VR Coasters currently operating in nine of our parks.”
