When riders board the coasters and don their Samsung Gear VR headsets, they will be introduced to the device’s passthroug camera functionality, instantly making riders aware of their surroundings, by allowing them to see the “real world,” including the person seated next to them- along with virtual content. We are thrilled to continue to work with Six Flags and bring VR to the mainstream,” said Marc Mathieu, Samsung Electronics America’s Chief Marketing Officer. We are always aiming to create immersive, never been done before experiences with our Samsung VR ecosystem as the focal point, so these new experiences at Six Flags are completely complementary to that key objective. “Our strategic partnership with Six Flags enables millions of consumers to experience virtual reality for the first time by bringing Gear VR to real roller coasters at theme parks across the country.
Six Flags and Samsung changed the game last year with VR on twelve roller coasters and now we are breaking new ground yet again.” “This mixed reality technology is truly groundbreaking and like nothing our guests have ever experienced. “Six Flags is proud to be partnering with Samsung to develop the newest, most innovative thrill ride experience in the theme park industry,” said Brett Petit, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. The New Revolution Galactic Attack makes its world debut at Six Flags Magic Mountain, near Los Angeles and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, near San Francisco, offering park guests a thrilling, fully immersive ride of their lives as they battle to save the planet from an impending alien drone invasion. Another world’s first-complex gameplay, where riders make key decisions during the course of the ride that can affect their scoring at the end. Last spring, the two companies joined forces to introduce North America’s first Virtual Reality (VR) Roller Coasters using Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus, and now in 2017- for the first time ever, riders will be offered a one-of-a-kind mixed reality experience that only Six Flags can deliver.
FebruSix Flags Entertainment Corporation, (NYSE:SIX) and Samsung Electronics America, Inc., the “Official Technology Partner” of the world’s largest regional theme park company, today announced its renewed collaboration on virtual reality roller coasters with the unveiling of a bold, innovative twist on the experience at Six Flags parks.
