Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merkuri" data-source="post: 4158633" data-attributes="member: 41321">There's a little mini-theme park in the Orlando, FL area near Disney World that is all Disney-themed VR and other "electronic" rides.  It is actually not that popular (not when compared to Disney World itself, at least), though I had a blast there when I went a few years ago.  The VR was fun, but slightly annoying.  There was one "ride" where you held a lightsaber-type implement and whacked at enemies that were attacking you and your other lightsaber-wielding companions.  There was a pole of some sort next to me (I think it was helping to hold up the cabling needed for the VR helmets) and I kept banging the lightsaber hilt and my knuckles against the pole because I couldn't see it.  I seem to recall that I also kept banging the huge helmet against the pole whenever I tried to turn and look at the other person in the VR world.  That was even more painful than the knuckles.  I feel like I couldn't be the only one who had that problem, and it was probably only a matter of time until somebody broke the expensive motion-sensitive hilt or the headset.Also, my glasses made it very difficult to wear the helmets (I think I had to take the glasses off at each ride, which means I got blurry pictures), and they were HEAVY!  I got a headache after each ride that required one.VR is just too expensive and too annoying to be feasible as in-home devices or anything more than minor diversions.</blockquote>
