Thanks. The article does specifically say that the headsets will not be used on the ride itself.

Portable screenz. Maybe we can wear them all around the park so they don't have to build the big screenz.

Taylor from OI will have more information soon, but it is a VR experience to ride the Hulk in the theater, NOT VR ON the Hulk.

I don't see the point in this. Unless there's something drastically different with it.

They hit you with a survey after so I think it is more of a marketing tool.

VR experience was closed around 5PM today. Really wanted to test it and see how stuff like frame rate was performing. Maybe another day.

It's testing for future experiences. Hulk being down makes this the best possible thing to test with guests as it requires there to be less preconcieved notions.

Well they do turn your chair upside down 7 times during the experience........ :bolt:

I guess it's more a case of here's what you could ride if you return. Kind of like bullseye, every Brit will probably get that reference.

Probably testing the on-board audio or effects during the ride.

I've ridden the VR coaster at Six Flags New England and it's cool for the first ride, but it has no repeatability IMO. The whole point of riding a roller coaster is to ride a roller coaster, not fill in the experience with something else.

Also, I'm pretty sure all VR coasters have been without inversions, I'm pretty sure wearing a headset through inversions would be a liability.

Can anyone report on the song they used?

Almost all of them do, but they're mostly early loop coasters from the 70s and 80s.

I LOVE The New Hulk Uniforms!

They kinda look like jammies to me. They also look hot. I feel bad for the staff when they have hot uniforms in the heat. I never can enjoy the characters cause I always think of the poor person stuck inside that HOT Homer Simpson suit
