VR on Big Apple Coaster

http://www.latimes.com/travel/themepark ... story.html

The New York-New York Hotel & Casino will add a virtual reality experience to the Big Apple roller coaster, taking riders on an aerial adventure through the Nevada desert and over the Las Vegas Strip.

The new up-charge virtual reality experience, set to open Feb. 7, combines make-believe computer-animated visuals with the real-world twists, drops and G-forces of a 67-mph coaster.

The Big Apple roller coaster at New York-New York Hotel & Casino costs $20 with the virtual reality experience. You can still ride the coaster without the VR headset for $15.

One of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

"Hey how can we make the worst large coaster in the US even worse"

"What about VR?"

It's almost as if I didn't even want to ride it in the first place...

That'll make your hangover even worse.

IMO VR and coasters (particularly headbanging coasters) go together like Disney on Ice and politics.

Hmmm... Only a 5$ upcharge for VR. Sounds quite reasonable, I'd ride it with if I'd ever get the chance on coming back before this fades.
