Oh .. mmm . Nice

Sorry I don't get it?

Is the bar through that door?

Or do you simply have waiters bringing you drinks? I do like it when the drinks are sent down the tracks straight to your tables

The kitchen is through the door.

I'm assuming that cocktails will be carried by waiting staff over to you. But bottled drinks will probably come down the track still I guess.

That seems a bit pointless.

What do you mean? Martini glasses probably wouldn't work on the coster track without spilling. But some people like a cocktail and they are easy profit for AT.

i mean it seems pointless going to rcr just to get someone to bring drinks over.

Leave the cocktail in the mixer and have the guest pour it themselves? No spillage and a guaranteed shaken martini.

Problem solved

VR Experience available at the Alton Hotel £5 a go (Info from MAP group Facebook Page and TT website)

Anyone for a random VR attraction in the Alton Towers Hotel's Emperor Suite? Going by these photos posted in the MAP Facebook group, it seems there is now a WePlayVR upcharge experience called Mayan Adventure, which looks to be one of the two games they can supply.

MERLIN NO! VR is over, stop using it.

I can't imagine this will make more over the summer than the restaurant in its place would?

Surprised they didn't put this in the theme park either.

VR was "over" in 1993.
... As Nintendo found out when they released the Virtual Boy in 1995.

I don't think the hotels are busy enough to need the fourth restaurant capacity. Remember they had Splash Landings closed for the first part of the season so having Flambo's open as well as Secret Garden and Crooked Spoon should be enough capacity in the evenings.

HB Leisure could add a VR to the arcade at Oblivion or similar but the low capacity might be an issue.

Go and have a full dinner then go on this.. there better be plenty of sick buckets at the standby.
Having brought a PSVR, 5 mins of using that make me vom

Good to see that the best restuarant at Alton Towers has been replaced with the ULTIMATE VR experience. Another victory for the resort side of Alton Towers.

Another world's first for Alton

The worlds first restaurant fully dedicated to VR

Looks like Disney's memo got lost in the post as well ...

Yeah, no really leg to stand on when it comes to bashing only Merlin in regards to VR. Best to have a go at the whole damn industry!!
