freaks76 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 And you would almost expect VR getting bigger as time goes on. I think it will probably get pretty big over the next few years. As long as people are entertained, they'll pay good money for just about anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I do. Samsung paid SIX heap big money. I guess I should say, I don't get the fad on the consumer (park guest) side...... Why would you wait 4 hours (looking at you Six Flags Over Georgia) to ride a coaster with a screen in front of your face? Why would you want to ride the front seat of the train while wearing the VR headset as well? I hope eventually I'm not the only one down the road that appreciates the actual surroundings of a coaster and not a screen (that says something too since I'm connected to my phone a lot). 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ^ Nope, you're not the only one. Would I try VR? Yes, depending on what it is. On a coaster? Not a chance. I think it's plum stupid. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VekomaRulz Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 i just hope VR isn't added to that many more coasters even though it seems like it will be. I would hate to see one of my favorite coasters at a local park no longer possible to ride without waiting in a line that could be 2 or more hours when on a slow day it could be 15 minutes or less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Question: If a coaster offers the option of a VR experience, but it is not mandatory, can you ride once with VR and once without, and then claim two credits? Or are they the same credit? jcgoble3, fully aware that he may be starting a flame war 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marth555 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 VR was tested on Iron Dragon (https://www.instagram.com/p/BGkcB4svgGS/) and is coming soon to Raging Bull at SFGAM https://www.sixflags.com/greatamerica/attractions/vr/overview?utm_source=park-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SFGAm&utm_content=2016-06-15 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 So this fad hasn't died yet? I'll always pick the real reality vs the virtual reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengals fan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The Gear VR headsets may not be used by children 12 and under based on manufacturer's guidelines. from Six Flags web page 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 That doesn't make much sense. Wonder why that is. I would think they'd kinda want it geared towards kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
