Thanks. The article does specifically say that the headsets will not be used on the ride itself.Here is the article explaining what was in the VR testing.
Universal Orlando Testing Hulk Virtual Reality
Portable screenz. Maybe we can wear them all around the park so they don't have to build the big screenz.So I can Haz Screenz with my Hulkz nowz?
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.
They hit you with a survey after so I think it is more of a marketing tool.I don't see the point in this. Unless there's something drastically different with it.

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.
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.
The biggest news of the day....
Punny!
I LOVE The New Hulk Uniforms!
