Okay, its just that it was Disney Studios that pulled the rights. Not anything to do with parks and resorts. So I assume it affects The Void locations worldwide and their ability to run the content based on Disney/Lucasfilm properties.

The VOID's websites were always as much of a deviously intricate maze with deadends as their VR simulations.

And yet..We could have kept Disneyquest and Gameworks-it up with a sports bar and better games..All we have now is NoBody Around Experience that isn't even open either...

Seems like The Void as a whole is dead sadly. Their website is no longer active...

We checked out the Avengers: Damage Control experience for the first and only time at the newly (at the time) opened VOID location near Washington DC in late Feb of 2020... I only now realize how lucky we were with that timing... it was a really amazing experience... really bummed that I'll never get to experience it again...

Sad to see the Void close. Technically, it was one of the most impressive and unique experiences I've ever done.

I enjoyed it a lot as well. I would guess that the good news is that the technology will only get better and cheaper (and lighter, I hope). I would think that there will be more attempts at this in the near future, assuming the threat of COVID or whatever follows it doesn't make people skittish about donning gear, helmets etc.

I have played Vader Immortal on quest, and it was a fantastic experience. I haven’t gave Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge a go yet. I do miss the void though, Vader Immortal is a similar experience minus the effects of course.

It's just a VR video game designed to be played at home. This is just a teaser experience of it in order to sell it to the teeming millions.

So, alas, it's not like the excellent experience The Void provided.

Is it $2,200 a night for that? 😎

There’s no way it could be. I for one do home we haven’t seen the last of the Void. It was great each time. But I don’t know if “touchy feely” is going to have a place in the permanent travel world moving forward?

we shall see
