If anything they should take this moment and refurbish the existing ride system.

RE: Project 2018: Virtual Reality Europe in the Air Replacement
I think this is an excellent idea for the park. It seems pretty low-risk, high-reward. This could turn out to be something excellent or it could tank and it'll probably still be an upgrade over Europe In The Air. When I saw Virtual Reality 2018 on the screen, I was honestly disappointed because of all the negatives I've heard about other theme parks implementing VR, but when I learned it was replacing EITA and was going to be a VR motion simulator, I was in.

^That's how I feel. This feels like VR being used in the way it should be used. Using the simulator platform to design the movements around the animation, rather than trying to fit the animation into preexisting movements like on a roller coaster, sounds so much more effective.

I am by no means a germaphobe, but I just don't get warm fuzzies about the masks. I am just not sure I trust your average bored ride attendant to properly clean them.

I hope this is more than cellphones strapped to people's heads. I never counted the seats but the computing power to pull it off right should be huge. It will need to track 36(?) People's heads and give them stereo HD each. Racks of power.

RE: Europe In The Air
The Otherworld is well know in Celtic circles.
Celtic Otherworld
There is a local Episcopal Church that takes trips to Ireland to visit holy "thin places" where our world is closer to "promised lands". I don't know much about the Episcopal faith or if this is the norm, but Ireland is their trip to the holy land rather than the middle east.
BTW, shouldn't discussions like this go in the Project 2018 thread?

I am sure the level of interest in the Invadr campaign has led to that decision.

I think BGW Marketing is living up to their assertions from last year that they were going to be more open about on-going projects. I know we have found them very helpful and fairly forthcoming.

So I'm one of those people that already wants it to be HOS scream time before the season even starts, so what are our speculations if this upgrade will interrupt Scarlett's revenge (or any house here) returning?

RE: Project 2018: Virtual Reality Europe in the Air Replacement
They mentioned specifically that the maze will be open this year.
However, you bring up a very good point for future. I think it would be pretty cool to change up the ride for HoS and CT. If the system works, VR could work really well with something horror related.

Yes! This! I really hope they can change it up for Halloween and Christmastown - maybe not the first year, but in the future. I'd love to have that question asked at some point.

Falcon's Treehouse, the company behind Curse of DarKastle will be leading this project. The company that they are working with, CAVU Designwerks has a very interesting portfolio. It sounds like the goggles may have arm tracking technology. I am really looking forward to this, because it's sounding less and less like a typical VR experience.

RE: Project 2018: Virtual Reality Europe in the Air Replacement
Maybe when these Contracted Groups are assembled at Busch Gardens they can give The Park Administrators an Estimate to overhaul DarKastle In the future at some point.
Just my thoughts.
