Members of the public visiting the Parc will be able to enjoy this new immersive experience from Sunday, 16 April
The Tibidabo mascots star in a virtual journey that travels from space to the depths of the ocean, in a production created exclusively for the Amusement Park
The Roller Coaster is the second ride to incorporate this immersive technology after the Virtual Express, which was introduced in 2017
The roller coaster at the Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo is being reinvented to mark its fifteenth anniversary. Next Sunday, 16 April, sees the launch of an innovative immersive experience through virtual reality glasses.
For two minutes, and travelling at 80 kilometres per hour, visitors can enjoy the Roller Coaster like never before, watching an immersive video that will enable them to experience first-hand an exciting fantastical adventure traversing spaces as different as a space station or the ocean floor. The Park mascots will be the stars of the journey.
The content of this new virtual experience has been created exclusively for the Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo by VR Coaster, a German company specialising in virtual reality. They put together a multidisciplinary team of ten professionals to carry out the project.
The ride will continue to have the same capacity limits and conditions of use, which is 16 people over 120 centimetres tall per car. People who wish to do so can continue to enjoy the ride without this new high-tech feature.
The roller coaster is the second ride in the Park to incorporate immersive technologies to create a new experience. 2017 saw the launch of the Virtual Express, turning a classic high-speed train into the first virtual reality ride in Catalonia.
With the launch of this new virtual journey, the first major new attraction of 2023, Tibidabo maintains its commitment to making the historical essence of the Park's most iconic rides compatible with the creation of innovative experiences that incorporate virtual reality technologies.
