AGAWAM, Mass. (AP) — A new kind of roller coaster
experience is set to premiere next month at Six Flags New England.
The Galactic Attack Virtual Realty Coaster is billed as a
fully immersive, virtual riding experience on the Agawam park's iconic Mind
Eraser coaster.
When riders board and put on Samsung Gear VR headsets,
they'll see data like weaponry status, time codes, fuel cells and a countdown
clock.
A fighter spaceship cockpit materializes and envelops the
riders into a tunnel of light. At the bottom of the first hill, riders are
launched into the middle of a space battle, coming under attack from flying
drones firing lasers and missiles.
After swinging through tight channels, riders are brought
into one of three drone bays. Each offers a different gaming experience and
three different endings.
