"Flight" Simulators- your opinions

[ChrisFL]

Are they here to stay, a dying breed, resurrected or other?

I mean, back in the early 90's it seemed like that and Virtual Reality were going to be the future of entertainment...from Star Tours to little mall versions, they seemed to pop up everywhere.

Then they suddenly were less popular and began disappearing. Now, though, we still have what could be a new Star Tours simulator coming out, the brand new Simpsons overlays of Back to the Future at Universal, the overwhelmingly popular Soarin' and the somewhat decent Mission:Space, although that's a bit unique.

So is the idea of the flight simualtor being a good attraction still reasonable if done a certain way?

Will we see a return of the more common types of simulators from before?

I think the flight simulators are here to stay, new technologies will be created probably creating an even better experience than Mission Space. I could see being enclosed within a pod with virtual reality glasses on our faces instead of larfe screens infront of a large group becoming more popular as the quality in picture that can be produced in this enviroment is incredible.

I agree, the ones we see today will be gone but with the new technology... new ones will come out that will blow us away. I mean ones that we will not be able to tell virtual world from real world.
