The New Revolution Virtual Reality Coaster Opens at Six Flags St. Louis

Ground-Breaking Technology Offers Fully Immersive, 360° Experience

EUREKA, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#JoinTheNewRevolution–Six Flags St. Louis, The Coaster Capital of Missouri, in partnership
with Samsung Electronics America, is set to open its first virtual
reality coaster on May 29. The New Revolution Virtual Reality (VR)
Coaster on Ninja features state-of-the-art technology that will
forever change the way people ride roller coasters.

“Six Flags is known for the innovative thrills we bring to our
guests,“ said Peter Carmichael, Six Flags St. Louis park president. “And
now we are taking it to the next level by merging reality with the
virtual world to deliver an unparalleled coaster experience. This really
does change everything.”

Virtual Reality on Ninja Facts:

• Riders wearing Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus headsets, find
  themselves in the copilot seat of a fighter jet as they take on aliens
  in a battle to save the world;
• This 360°, fully immersive, virtual battle takes guests flying through
  2,430 feet of track at up to 65 mph;
• The fighter jet darts between buildings, completing intense aerial
  acrobatics while guests travel through the 360°loop and corkscrew of
  the coaster’s steel track;
• Sensors and proxies along the coaster track sync the movement of the
  coaster to the video riders are watching on their Samsung Gear VR
  headsets;
• The experience begins as soon as riders leave the station house and
  start up the lift hill. While climbing the lift hill or going through
  the launch pad, guests can shoot at targets with a touch pad on the
  side of the headsets, making this the first game play ever used on a
  roller coaster.
