stretchy Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I would have also thought that HTC would have been involved as they headsets are obviously not going to be the same as the public pre-order ones. I would guess that they are custom builds. What also might be interesting is if HTC are heavily involved then maybe there will be other specialnesses to these machines. We also may see HTC using it as a launch vector when the Vives are released too. Which would be more advertising for the ride, which is definitely a good thing.

Dodge2002 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 How is that any different from say B&M building their first ever dive coaster though? The hardware may look the same but there's a whole world of unseen untested software running every new ride. If anything they'll be less likely to fail, they've had almost 2 years of beta testing to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project LC Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 If you are a Premium MAP they will store your over priced headset for you until the end of the day (£5 for standard pass holders). Oh and bags cost 5p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 And lug it around the whole park for the rest of the day! What's wrong with that. It would be no bigger than say a shoebox I would assume. People lug giant teddy's around the park all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Dimensions Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Surely you'd be a target for thieves if you're seen buying one or carrying it/storing in ride lockers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Dimensions Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Someone photoshop Derren's face onto Mark's! Yeah I know these are Oculi, but hey - 1984 is real, Derren and Mark are the overlords of the earth. Ziltoid will probably come looking for coffee soon.

Project LC Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah let's hope it's really intense as that appeals to the mass family market. I have very low expectations for this and throughout the construction they have been getting lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Is it just me or did some posts I saw earlier go walkabouts? Glad they did as they were very spoilerific!

coastercallum Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 It contained 4 pictures of what the vr would look like as well as 4 pictures of construction updates. The queue looked complete now with plants around the area. It also showed us the inside of the warehouse with the train carriage.

JoshC. Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 The pictures were removed following a request from Thorpe Park I believe. Whilst we can't stop people sharing them between friends, we (TPM) ask that you don't post them on the forums, or elsewhere online. Many thanks.

Coaster Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I don't understand why they put these pictures online if they don't want people to find them? Surely they would have known better after last time? 400400 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
