Not so long ago, virtual reality (VR) only existed in the realms of science fiction. But in recent years, the technology has been widely popularized, redefining diverse fields, ranging from medicine to gaming.\u00a0Variety magazine<\/a>\u00a0reported that global VR revenues will reach over $7 billion by the end of this year and the figure is projected to increase to over $70 billion by 2021.<\/p>

Theme park entertainment is one of the many fields being transformed by the VR revolution. Everland, South Korea\u2019s largest theme park, has incorporated the latest VR technology in many of its attractions to give visitors unforgettable experiences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

VR has blasted modern-day theme park entertainment into another dimension. With the capability to create entire new worlds, there\u2019s almost nothing the technology cannot simulate.<\/p>

Gyro VR is Everland\u2019s latest innovation which embodies the future of theme park rides. Combining the power of Samsung Gear VR headset with a 360-degree spinning rig, Gyro VR transforms passengers into fighter pilots in outer space, taking them on a thrilling journey through narrow valleys and giant spaceships to defeat alien enemies. The ride garnered worldwide attention when it was exhibited on the international stage, cementing its place as a pioneer of theme park entertainment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Opened earlier this year to great fanfare,\u00a0Robot VR<\/a>\u00a0is another cutting-edge ride at Everland which gives a glimpse of the future of theme parks. Combining VR with the dynamic movement of a mechanical arm, Robot VR passengers can experience what it\u2019s like to pilot a giant robot through different obstacles. With over 100,000 visitors in just 6 months, Robot VR stands as a testament to the wide appeal of VR theme park entertainment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before VR came along, creating new rides for theme parks was costly and time consuming. It could take months or years for parks to develop novel experiences for visitors. But with the flexibilities offered by the latest VR technology, this is no longer the case. Visitors can expect to find something new every time they visit a theme park.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Capitalizing on the capabilities of VR, Everland has added surprising elements to the some of its classic attractions. Opened almost a decade ago, the\u00a0T-Express<\/a>\u00a0has thrilled thousands of people of all ages. Everland created VR Adventure, which simulates the dips and turns of the T-Express with VR headsets and dynamic 4D chairs, to allow fans of the wooden rollercoaster to enjoy their favorite ride in a unique setting and more first-time visitors to experience the gravity-defying ride.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

VR not only has the power to thrill, its ability to transport individuals to another world also makes it a powerful educational tool.

In just a short amount of time, VR has already opened many new avenues which were unthinkable before. The technology, however, is still in its infancy, with much more potential for growth. To help further the advancement of VR technology, Everland is donating parts of the revenue earned from its VR attractions to the pioneering startup Sang-wha. The startup collaborated with Everland in the design of Gyro VR and Robot VR. With VR-related innovations coming thick and fast, theme parks may be able to offer experiences beyond our wildest imaginations in the near future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
