For an additional $99.99 you can buy the Metaverse Memory Maker for a year to add in-ride photos.

Or for $199.99 you can buy the Metaverse Memory Maker + to add yourself into any scene you want.*

* subject to a limit of one scene per person per ride.

Extra magical add-ons will be available just as soon as we can fully realise the monetising opportunities this presents us with.

If they're doing VR I really hope they arent partnering with Meta. Their upcoming offerings look awful graphics wise. Not to mention their extremely shady account issues that has seen many headsets bricked with zero support.

Given the previously close relationship with Apple they'd be better off partnering on their VR headset due to be released next year as it'll essentially be an iphone in a headset with vastly better graphics.

Also, have you ever tried a VR rollercoaster? Even people who don't usually get motion sickness can't stomach them, it just doesn't work.

No matter how good the VR is, unless we reach Star Trek holodeck technology, it's not going to be the same as actually going to the parks. Heck, even in Star Trek, people still prefer to go take actual trips to just seeing things on the holodeck. My point is that I don't think this kind of experience could ever actually replace visiting the parks themselves. I see it as complementary, not as a replacement.

The best VR I have ever experienced was the VOID at disney springs.. The cool part about that is it was VR combined with physical elements. When you could reach out to pull a lever and the lever was actually there... I am so sad that company didn't survive covid. They were doing everything right when it came to a VR experience.

I hope that shipping is included for my popcorn bucket refills.

Will they add realism and have a VRVQ for new rides and you have to be up by 7 to maybe get one?

Every single person I know (including myself) who bought an Oculus has used it for a few weeks then stopped using it altogether. I strongly believe VR is a novelty, like 3D TVs.

Meta talks about how many units they’ve sold, but never talks about whether those units are actually utilized.

👋 Hi, I'm one of those people.

It's got some good content, but its a very, very limited selection and almost all of it feels more like a tech demo than an actual usuable device. Plus they get extremely uncomfortable to wear pretty quickly. I ended up having to mount a very heavy batter pack to the back of mine just to make it not feel like it was trying to snap my neck.

The tech's not there yet, at least not in an affordable state. It'll be interesting to see what Apple's been working on as I can't imagine they'll release something as incomplete as the rather crummy Meta/Oculus offerings. If rumors are to be belived it's more of a mixed-reality setup with a lightweight headset, handing off the actual processing part to an iPhone, so in theory should be much more comfortable and capable of way more than the pathetically weak hardware in the current headsets. Without decent apps though it's still fairly pointless and gimmicky.

Those are all roller coaster channels, not Disney vlogs. It's a different category.

I'm not sure what it matters. You said people don't seek out ride videos on YouTube. It doesn't matter the channel, people are looking for them. The first rise of the resistance video has over 8 million and pirates has almost 5. Regardless of where the video is coming from, people are seeking them out.
