This can get disorienting pretty quickly, as your body unintentionally braces itself for things like banks and turns, but most gamers tend to be sitting in a stationary chair, creating an eerie dissonance between body and mind. Then race through the city where you'll battle drones to reach and destroy a mother ship.įrom our own experience, we've felt the pangs of motion sickness when sitting down with an Oculus Rift to go on a virtual roller coaster ride. As your virtual plane ascends out of a secret bunker, test fire your weapon using the world’s first-ever interactive gameplay technology on a roller coaster. Co-pilot your own fighter jet as you strap in for air-to-air combat. This changes everything. You will be transported to a futuristic battle to save planet earth from an alien invasion. Here's what Six Flags had to say about the New Revolution: The public release date for the VR experience hasn't bee officially revealed, though Six Flags will be letting Season's Pass holders enjoy some technical rehearsals as they prepare to release the metaphorical floodgates. The experience won't be available to anyone under 12 years old, so it looks like the New Revolution is rated T for Teen. While not being able to actually see what's actually around you while you plummet towards the Earth sounds horrifying, we're sure many will be lining up to get a taste of the innovative concept. Take a look at the official release video below:

There's no doubt that virtual reality is a game-changer when it comes to immersive content, and this idea is probably one of the most exciting ways we've seen yet to introduce the burgeoning VR industry with mainstream consumers. Think a regular rollercoaster ride, but suddenly your view is from a fighter jet's cockpit and you're shooting at a dinosaur. The visuals in the VR headset are synchronized with the ride, so that riders will be able to truly immerse themselves into the headset. The virtual reality experience is being called the New Revolution, and it isn't a 4D-esque separate ride: riders will strap into the Samsung Gear whilst on existing rollercoasters across no less than nine different Six Flags locations. This might be why it has now jumped into bed with the Samsung Gear VR, granting theme park visitors the ability to jump into a virtual world as they get rocketed 60 miles per hour on a loop de loop in real life. Six Flags operates many amusement parks around the globe, and the giant corporation is no stranger to the videogame industry.

Six Flags announces that a new virtual reality tie-in will allow theme park visitors to use a Samung Gear VR while on a rollercoaster in real life.
