The trend definitely seems to be on a downturn as of late with more rides removing their VR components, or VR ride concepts being scrapped entirely. However, it was only 2 years ago that Universal was planning adding a VR attraction to USF to replace a live theatre attraction, only a few years before that Magic Kingdom was considering a similar move, and that Seaworld pulled the trigger with their Kraken rollercoaster for a short time.
Does VR have a place alongside other simulator type attractions? Do VR coasters work? Is the tech ready yet for a theme park-level experience? Will amusement parks like Six Flags take advantage of the concept more often than higher budget theme parks? Did COVID-19 kill any startups that could've supplied resources for these types of attractions like The VOID, or even kill the general public's appetite for public Virtual Reality?
