Just seen this on Instagram too, interesting modifications to the seats!

Most intrigued to ride now...
 
Argggg, getting quite excited for this, its going to be amazing, I know it will.
yeah :)
It may not be a new new ride but still, better than nothing
whooop ! :D

who cares about closed rides and blah blah blah

I say again

whooop! :p
 
First look at the headsets, and some kind of fanny pack strapped to seats over on Twitter.

They could have repainted the cars though, there is lots of exposed patches of metal where paint has rubbed off. The rubber/foam leg holders look very worn as well.
 
So i assume you're given some sort of paper mask that stops you touching the actual headset and the units simply get taken out in front of you and put over the paper thing maybe to save constant cleaning?

If it's water mist I sure as hell hope they bother to pressure wash that portal now and again to keep it looking nice, turned out a lot better than i was expecting it to!
 
Seems the other bits of themeing never happened then from the original planning permission.

Hmmmmm where have we seen the before??? It also doesn't look like the track has been painted....

This could be great, or a nail in AIR's coffin. I guess it is a watch this space scenario
 
A bit late to the discussion I know but I've just stuck the VR preview through my 3d TV and it looks pretty impressive with some decent depth. The music sounds like something off the Tron Legacy sound track.
 
Also Alton Towers have posted a short video with Chris Hadfield that includes a few more snippets of VR footage and Chris on the ride:

 
The portal looks really nice. Shame that it's the only piece of theming that has been installed. Would have been nice to have seen some other pieces of theming around the ride area.
