Hollywood and its action flicks have been teasing the whole world with a new type of lifestyle based on Virtual Reality. In the 80s the blockbuster movie Total Recall was based in an interplanetary conspiracy that started with the lead actor being entertained with a VR machine.
An endless amount of films, books, and TV shows have made Virtual Reality the center of their plots, but in real life VR has not been as close to our everyday lifestyle as it was once advertised. Or at least not until now. We’ve seen that in the last couple of months there have been new attractions that are based in Virtual Reality, let’s see what they are all about.
Let’s start with roller coasters. The colossal metal monsters have been giving thrills and chills to entire generations, but a new wave of machines are being designed to enhance the experience. For example, we have Kraken Unleashed at SeaWorld Orlando. If you live adrenaline you’ll have a blast in this incredible attraction that uses Virtual Reality to make the ups and downs more exciting.
Theme parks from all over the world are jumping in the VR wagon, as roller coaster enthusiasts are always looking for the next best thing. In Orlando, Kraken was already a classic as it was introduced to the public in the year 2000, but the park has decided to take it up a notch and they added a headset to give it a new underwater feeling. The goal is to make the visitors have a face to face meeting with the legendary monster on its own turf: the deep ocean.
Visitors can decide on whether they go on the classic version or the new VR version. The ride lasts two minutes, but that is enough for most people.
But not only theme parks are embracing this new technology, Virtual Reality has also made its presence felt in the casino business. Casino players are always hungry for new experiences and if you are curious you can try the VR in combination with live casino in the comfort of your home. You’ll see that you will never want to go back to the traditional machines.
You can be sure that Virtual Reality is here to stay, all the new tech releases are going in that direction and the market is giving consumers just what they want. If you still don’t know what all the fuss is about we recommend you see for yourself, you will be very surprised.
