Top 5 Examples of Virtual Reality in Theme Parks
Virtual Reality has provided an enigmatic experience to audiences in entertainment. As far back as we can think, no industry has had the better benefit of VR technology as much as the entertainment industry has had. And as we know, theme parks are an integral part of entertainment these days.
Apart from video games, movies, and sport, theme parks are also one of the most sought-after sources of entertainment for people everywhere. And the best part about theme parks is that they have these innovative rides that thrill the visitors.
It is time to rejoice more now as these rides are all set to be enhanced by Virtual Reality applications. For instance, if you are on a rollercoaster, you are given a VR headset that places you in a different reality depending on the theme of the ride and gives you an immersive experience in the entire ride.

Now that we are talking about theme parks, let us go through some of the best integrations of Virtual Reality in amusement rides:
Daemonen:
This is one of the most thrilling roller-coaster rides which was first introduced more than a decade back in 2004. This ride can be found in Tivoli Gardens, Denmark. It was operational as a normal roller-coaster ride until 2017 when Virtual Reality was first integrated with it.
Ever since then, it has been providing an unforgettable experience to the visitors. Daemonen is based on Chinese mythology and includes demons, dragons, and other elements that provide a great experience with the use of Samsung Gear VR.
Galactica:
Galactica is one of the most sought after rides by the people of Alton, UK. Because of the complexity in design, this ride was not opened for four years and it had created a sense of curiosity and eagerness among the masses. Part of Alton Tower, Galactica was formerly known as The Air Ride.
Only after VR technology was added to it, it was renamed Galactica. It is one of the most popular steel flying roller coasters in the world and has been enthralling the audiences with the enjoyment they come seeking. Different VR headsets have been used in this ride over the years.
Ghost Train:
Ever been part of a spooky ride? Derren Brown in the UK thought of this brilliant idea for all the horror enthusiasts out there. The Ghost Train is just a stationary experience without any kind of rail tracks or loops. But due to Virtual Reality, you believe otherwise.
All you have to do is wear your VR headset and be seated. Once the ride begins, it will give you a real-time sense of traveling on a train where various paranormal incidents happen to frighten you. Many individuals who have experienced the Ghost Train have labeled it as ‘terrifying’.
Iron Dragon:
Iron Dragon is located in the Cedar Point theme park in Ohio. It goes more than three decades as it was first started in 1987. As time went on and technology improved, there were new developments made to this ride. Virtual Reality, however, was first introduced to it in 2016.
Shock Wave:
Shockwave is one of the tallest roller coaster rides in the world and also dates back to 1978. It is one of the popular attractions even to this date. When VR technology was introduced in this ride in 2016, alien invasion was the topic they use for enhanced visuals.
It became very popular among the masses and the name of this new upgraded feature was The New Revolution.
