Question About VR Goggles and 3D Glasses

[milst1]

Do parks wash or wipe down VR goggles between uses? What about 3D Glasses on dark rides? Do these all just get re-used by the next guest without a cleaning? Are practices different across parks?

 

I know I've gotten 3D glasses with smudges on them, and I've never actually observed any kind of sanitary practices on eyewear by parks, but I haven't really been paying attention. Since the VR Goggles already crimp capacity (at least to some extent, I guess), are things further slowed by cleaning the things? Just curious and would love to hear from people who have experience or have observed park practices more carefully than I have. I have no clue. Thanks!

 

(As always, if this has been covered in other threads, I apologize. Please point me there.)

VR Goggles get sanitized between uses, and 3D glasses on dark rides go through sanitation machines. Often times you will notice 3D glasses that are still wet, that's left over from the cleaning process.

 

Most of the parks that I have been to that have the VR goggles, you can observe a park employee on the side of the station some where that is sanitizing the headsets. Most of the time the dark rides with the 3D glasses have a cleaning room that is "behind the scenes" so you never actually see them cleaning.

 

I don't think operations is really affected by the cleaning process. Most parks have more than enough headsets, and 3D glasses that can be in use while others are being cleaned.

 

(Hope this helps a little)

Very helpful! Thank you!
