Danish family attraction Universe Science Park has become the first location to feature the new ParadropVR attraction, developed by Simworx and partner company Frontgrid.
The four-person ParadropVR features dynamic physical movement with free roam VR content. Both the physical and virtual gameplay is completely controlled by the visitor, providing a realistic flying experience.
There is a social gaming aspect to the ride too, in order to encourage repeat business. Spectators are able to watch the action on TV screens installed on each unit and a scoreboard displays how well guests have fared on the attraction compared to fellow visitors at the park.
The new addition is a key element of Universe Science Park's dedicated VR zone, which first opened to the public in 2017.
“We're proud to have the world's first ParadropVR and our guests are very pleased with it," Said Jonas Luttermann, Universe Science Park’s COO.
"My favourite guest feedback is from a ‘fear of heights family’, who ended up paragliding in Austria this summer after several visits to Universe.
"They have told us how they challenged the levels and got more and more points in the game on each and every visit. These amazing experiences triggered an urge to try it in reality, despite a fear of heights. They sent us a ‘thank you’ for paving the way for these experiences."
