Gurnee, Ill. � June 15, 2016 � This changes everything! Six Flags Great America is bringing Virtual Reality to its number one roller coaster, the Raging Bull. This addition makes it the first hyper-twister Virtual Reality ride experience in the world. Using Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus, riders will be transported into a virtual world, seamlessly blending the motion of the ride with intense, immersive visuals.
�Raging Bull combines a 20 story drop, speed and intense twisting track configurations to make it the most popular roller coaster in our park,� said Hank Salemi, park president. �By adding this Virtual Reality experience, guests will be thrilled by this coaster in an entirely different world. It will be the most amazing and creative ride event we�ve ever debuted � we just keep innovating to give our guests the best theme park experience in the world.�
Riders of the Raging Bull ride will experience:
- A dramatic 202-foot lift hill with a 65-degree first drop;
- Speeds over 70 miles per hour;
- Tight and intense twists and turns;
- Six �inclined loops� � steep, high-speed turns banked as much as 50 degrees (or, loops
lying horizontally);
- Towering hills and airtime drops through nearly one mile of track.
The world�s first Virtual Reality hyper-twister roller coaster will debut later this summer with 2016
season pass holders as the first riders. Now is the best time to get a Six Flags season pass for
$75.99 each when buying four or more and that includes one free parking pass. |
