Ok so this is extremely cool. Totally different environments are projected thru the headset but synced up to the ride itself when you ride it. You could be fighting in outer space or flying around some sweet Pegasus drawn chariot flying thru these incredible environments but synced to the forces and inversions on the ride.
I would love someday to see a park do something like this for the general public. -

This is amazing.... Imagine, 5 years down the road when this is the norm for new coasters around the world. Epic. The coaster revolution starts here!!! -

I remember doodling pretty much exactly this in middle school. I would rather see real objects/theming, though. The telemetry to know where you're looking would be a nightmare on something moving this much, at slightly varying speeds, and otherwise you'd just have to assume they're looking dead-on all the time even though they can turn their heads.
