VR-Coaster virus hits Six Flags

Today was the media event for The New Revolution and here's the video of that one:

I think I would prefer to ride without the VR headset:

Just watched both videos at the same time to see how the VR lines up with the ride. Pretty good, but I definitely thought the ride looked more fun without the headset!
 
I didn't realise (haven't really followed this story that closely) that the videos would all be the same for all the different coasters. Well, not identical, but all using the same story and graphics.

I suppose it's cheaper, but... how boring?

No thanks.
 
The more I see of the VR stuff, the less I like it. :(

Non-VR POV looking good though (if you can ignore the running commentary of the people shooting aliens) :)
 
I've heard a rumour of Daredevil having 8 minute apart dispatches. No idea how true or if that was a one off, but, bahaha.

I laugh because it was so obvious. Like, how can you honestly have thought it was a good idea, Six Flags?

^Not sure about the loading times for this one since everything is much slower at media events, but I'm sure it will be slower than the old dispatch times. I imagine Alton Towers is experiencing the same situation with Galactica.

The three Superman coasters will have a different VR experience themed around the Man of Steel. The other seven coasters will all have this one.

Yeah, this was filmed during yesterday's media event and they only allowed us to mount the camera while other members of the media were riding so the running commentary couldn't be avoided. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to go back and film it again in 3D at 60fps so it won't have that annoying dialog.
 
The Daredevil and Revolution VR look so ch€ap, the last gen consoles had better graphics I reckon. Revolution is in a lovely beautiful forest setting anyway so the natural look is much better than VR.
