Looks like Italy will be getting their first VR coaster. I'm surprised it's Rainbow MagicLand instead of Gardaland or Mirabilandia.
So speculation has begun on which coaster will feature the VR experience. My first guess was Bombo, the park's Vekoma junior coaster, but from what I've been reading it's likely going to be Olandese Volante, the well-themed mine train. I would rather see it happen with the Cagliostro cred-in-a-shed since that's literally all it is, but VR hasn't been done on a spinner before and I don't think it's going to happen here.
SourceGoogle Translate said:It's official. It seemed yet another season without special news, however incredibly Rainbow MagicLand port for the first time in Italy a new technology, that of the VR, and it does beat all the time.
Yes, the largest amusement park in Rome will be the first park in Italy to implement virtual reality on a roller coaster.
Since June 2016 we can finally try out this new technology here in Italy, and not only abroad, where for several months to spread like wildfire.
It must be said that the novelty was announced a little muted by the park, for the moment the news is visible only and exclusively through a LED wall place just above the entrance turnstiles.
The LED wall bears the inscription: In June, check back to try the first virtual coaster of Italy.
Surely in the next few days, or at least with the approaching end of the month we will have some more news, first of whom coaster of the park will be implemented this new virtual reality.
And then all the other doubts therefore be dissolved, for example, what will be the boarding mode, if it will have an additional cost and whether it will be mandatory for all, or optional.
The first to break the news were our friends at Rainbow MagicLand Fans Page, who uploaded a video on their page that formalizes the news, after a few hours the news has gone around the web triggering different reactions among the public, with who has sided in favor of this new technology and those who are against.
As soon as we have more information about it we not delay in providing.
