Are you ready for an out-of-this world roller coaster experience (literally)? A virtual reality roller coaster is coming to Atlanta, as the New Revolution at Dare Devil Dive will soon debut at Six Flags Over Georgia.
Using Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus, riders will become “co-pilots” on their own virtual fighter jets and be transported into a futuristic battle to save planet Earth from an alien invasion.
The goggles, worn while riding the coaster, were designed in conjunction with virtual reality innovator, Oculus. They will include head straps and chinstraps to help secure the equipment during the thrilling coaster rides.
— The immersive world of virtual reality – straight up nearly 100 feet to the top of a towering skyscraper.
— A 95 degree launch off the edge of a building.
— Darting between buildings and extreme aerial moves at speeds of up to 55 miles per hour;
— Daring aerobatic maneuvers through three inversions and zero-gravity hills; and
— An exhilarating battle sending you head over heels through 2,100 feet of twisted steel track to fight alien forces and save all mankind.
2016 Season Passholders will be able to exclusively experience this high-tech ride on March 12 and 13 (opening weekend) The virtual reality coaster will open to the public on March 19 and Six Flags said this special experience will be available for a limited time. (They are not saying at this time exactly how long it will be available).
