Who wants to battle time-traveling robots with us?!
Located not far from Disney, Orange County’s Knott’s Berry Farm may be the oldest theme park in America, but that’s not stopping it from being on the cutting edge of theme park innovation. The park just announced that they’ll be launching a virtual reality attraction on April 1st, which will actually be the very first permanent free-roaming VR experience in a U.S. theme park.
The immersive VR gaming attraction, titled VR Showdown in Ghost Town, will take guests on a time traveling adventure to visit a futuristic version of Knott’s western town of Calico. Players will face-off against hordes of robotic, time-traveling enemies as they embark on a daring mission with other groups of players to defend the town.
The one-of-a-kind immersive experience perfectly combines virtual reality and competitive gaming elements. Armed with state-of-the-art wireless virtual reality headsets and futuristic blasters, multiple players will compete against one another for the highest score and bragging rights as part of the immersive adventure, while striving toward shared team goals. At the end of the VR competition, guests will be able to view and compare scores with their opponents.
