VR Park: PVRK @ Dubai Mall

Just watch the video...

 

That looks pretty good. I wonder if they will keep the coaster and add vr?

Ah

This says new rollercoaster. But it must be just a vr retheme

Is it replacing Sega Republic then? Looks interesting nonetheless.

 

Yes it’s replacing Sega republic. I have been told they are keeping 4 of the rides including the coaster and giving them a vr makeover.

Ah right. Thanks @Dubaidave! Will it just be that the rides will have VR headsets on them or will you walk round the park wearing a headset? Or is this not known yet? Sorry to keep pestering you with questions!

 

Not sure yet. I have approached them for More info.

VR-Spinning Coaster? Sounds weird... I believe they will fix the trains for a foreword and backwards track. (First backwards VR-Ride! A worlds first! Weeeeeh! Advertising!)

 

I did ask them for more info but they said can’t say anything yet

The park opened a few weeks ago according to rcdb, there are already some pictures of the coaster formerly Spingear which is now called Dubai Drone:

And yes it is listed as being VR.

I'm glad it's reopened, but I went when it was Sega Republic and I won't exactly be rushing back!
