Project 2018: Battle for Eire (VR Attraction)

[warfelg]

I have this feeling that this upcoming weekend will be the perfect time for a soft opening. It seems right.

Figures the weekend I'll be out of town.

 

[Michael F]

I'm going on Friday. I'll definitely be looking to see if it's open

Saw my first tv ad for Battle for Eire last night. Came on at the end of Jeopardy/ start of American Idol. Was a pretty good ad, had a kid/ girl empowerment theme that I liked going in it.

 

[Lord Robert]

I saw that commercial too. It was very cute and I liked it.

Fun commerciail. Like the girl power too and the SONG!! Anyone know what song it is?

 

[Unagi]

One of the actresses in the commercial just posted a showreel on youtube. You can see the Battle for Eire commercial at the beginning.

 

[mountaineers]

Looks good at night.

 

[Lord Robert]

I'll bet it looks even better in person.

Anyone know why the girl they use for promotional work (commercials, instagram photos), has a red wig instead of the leaf hair? The ride and in-park Addie both have the leaves

 

[Lord Robert]

Maybe it was easier to make costume wise? It shouldn't be too hard to construct a nice looking leaf head-dress. :unsure:

 

[Ryan]

Looks good at night.

Looks great at night*.

My gosh you guys, I just got word from the park that the ride will soft open on Sunday. But they also said the ride film isn't quite ready yet but but the simulator and VR is ready for first riders; to test out this new technology, the film they will use is going to be... King Arthur's Challenge...

"O...M...G..."
thats all i can think of to describe that!

 

[Lord Robert]

According to BGWFans' Instagram page, they saw people programming the lockers today. Could this mean that the soft opening is approaching soon?

So, we got to ride BFE a few times on Friday the 23rd, the ride is killer guys, I don't want to spoil anything. I believe they said it will be open officially next month.

 

[Lord Robert]

I know you don't want to spoil it, but would you say this ride might possibly be everything to hope for in a ride like this? Plus, how were the two pre-show rooms?

Oh absolutely!! And the pre-show rooms were LIT (bad fireplace pun) haha. Best part of the rooms are the secret nods to some old rides that used to be where BFE is (I'm looking at you Corkscrew Hill, Questor, etc... )

 

[Lord Robert]

Sweet, can't wait until the ride soft opens and there can be pictures/video of this ride. I won't be able to go to the park until June/July because I'm planning a three day trip to NYC.

EDIT: Since this ride was made by the same company who did DarKastle, how does this compare to that?

 

[WhatutalkinboutWillis?]

How are the seats? Would bigger people have an issue riding the ride?

I don't think so. There were a few larger people in our group, and they seemed to have excellent rides!
