There's no area for it to do that. Most of it is held up by supports. Because we all know renderings are 100% accurate. -

Oldest Coaster You've Ridden
DoinItForTheFame replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oldest coaster I've been on is Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Opened in 1920!! -
Okay, so we tried "The New Revolution" VR thing on Ninja today. This was our first VR coaster, and yeah, it pretty much sucked. First off, I had never been on the coaster prior to VR so I had no idea what was coming from element to element. Whoever thought strapping a phone to your face, and throwing you on a coaster that is rough as hell was an idiot. (Or maybe that's just my opinion.) Thoughts on the VR experience itself?? The video/story line was decent. The synchronization was about a car off on my headset. So things would happen in the VR headset before the train actually did the element. However, something happened to my partners headset, and the entire time he was on the ride his VR headset never left the "launch pad" that you sit on while in the station. There was also one point on the ride, maybe entering the first corkscrew where the ride was so rough it pulled the headset halfway off my face, so I had to sit there and try to get the headset back on right mid ride. Also, I know the operations at the park suck (at least they did today) but we got curious and started timing dispatches because they were taking so long. They would send out 2 trains with no VR riders, and then they would send out 2 trains with 5-8 VR headset riders on each train. The trains with the VR headsets had between 12 and 15 minute dispatch times. (Compared to the 5-8 minute dispatch times without headsets.) I think the VR on coasters has the possibility to be amazing, but it's got a long way to go. Looking forward to trying out a "good" VR at Cedar Point this weekend. That's all for now. More details in a full trip report when we get back home.

I'm hoping it stays that way!! I'm hoping to get a chance to ride it this weekend. I've missed out on it during all of my previous visits to the park. -

Yeah, you lost me some where around "a steep incline in with our horses and carriage we are snatched up by some creature that fly which creatures on the ground try to attack you." Not really sure what you were trying to say. Anywho, I can't wait to try out VR on Iron Dragon this coming Saturday!!
