Six Flags News / Re: Ride Coasters in VR!
« Last post by WadeJ on March 26, 2016, 02:58:50 PM »
I'd say this is coming. We were simply skipped over this year since we're also getting a new coaster. They seem to have a decent plan in place for keeping these clean and the fact that you can choose whether or not to ride with one and therefore not waiting in the queue with other VR riders, I don't see the harm by adding it. Something I'll probably try once or twice and then go back to old school :).

I'm sure there's some way to lock those phones into the headsets. I'd try it if I came across it, but I wouldn't hold out high hopes for it

I think our park didn't get them because they feared the guests would try walking off with the $750 Samsung Galaxies that come with the VR headset. I should be a neat experience, want to see what its like at some point.

I don't see this as something I'd prefer to the real thing, but I won't knock it till I try it.

I rode a VR headset at Europa Park last year and it was a really cool experience. They had a seperate queue for it and you had to pay 5 euros for it, better than I thought it would be.

This won't affect loading times!  How long until most of the VR headsets no longer work?
I have a hard enough time sitting on some coasters after some customers...let alone strap a sweaty headset to my face.
I'll take my Superman without please....Hopefully this will go the way of speakers on coasters and disappear!!!

This is pretty crazy. Starting this summer, a coaster at select parks (Great Adventure isn't included!) will be equipped with Samsung Gear VR headsets that you wear while riding! An example given was soaring through Metropolis while on Superman at SFNE (https://www.sixflags.com/newengland/attractions/vr/experience).

I already feel nauseous.

Park News / Re: "Total Mayhem" is now "The Joker"

Probably Battle for Metropolis since the Right Stuff building isn't large enough, either that or a new flats package to reopen the Old Country.

Also hate to burst the bubble Wade but Chiller's station got torn down during the offseason, so it wouldn't of have worked there.

Flyin Phil's latest set of photos just misses proof of this.
Just off the top of this picture.  And missed both structures.

Oh I know.  I was referring to the general area where the station was :).  Joker could have easily fit between where Music Express and the Chiller observatory locations.  The lakefront just seems like the perfect place to put more of a custom ride that leveraged the natural landscape. 

I am curious as to what's happening in the Old Country through Batman Stunt show arena area because that's a lot of land being cleared out!
