Concept art for this! If it looks like this it'll be brilliant
Reminds me of my Lego Dimension's Portal ........ I think this is a lazy thing to do, sure it will bring the GP back, but when it breaks that will be it, it won't be fixed. - Many people are going to go thinking that it is tied to Battlestar Galactica, which already has a coaster at Universal Singapore. Really looking forward to the restaurant though, all Air needed was a clean up and some beautiful theming, maybe to realize it's original potential, VR is a fad, and like loom bands, everyone will be bored in 6 months time.
(EDIT) - I go to Alton Towers and leave all my electrical devices in my Splash Landings room, same if I go to Disney or Universal, I go to a theme park to escape everyday life, obviously Merlin will never make me feel like I am a different world like Disney or Universal can, but the premise is the same.
I do not go to a theme park to get on a Rollercoaster (Fun) only to have my vision obscured by a bloody phone screen and put into a virtual world, if I want to be put into a virtual world, I will play my PS4 and stay home, I go to ride a rollercoaster for what it is, a ROLLERCOASTER.
Dark rides that employ screens and sets are perfect for immersion, but this is just so so lazy.
