Today already you will surprise nobody 4D and even 5D-cinemas, although, of course, about any additional measurements it is not. But the fact remains: the amusements of our days become more and more amazing and technically advanced. Here’s the 3D picture, Bouncing and tilting seats, water splashes and snow flakes in the face. It’s like it actually. But travelling in a cartoon tombs of the pharaohs is no surprise, therefore, engineers of the British amusement Park Alton Towers decided to send their visitors in real space travel.
A new attraction, of course, will not really bring people to earth’s orbit, it will just create the illusion of traveling through space with the help of advanced virtual reality and hard work of the 3D artists who develop the visual side of the project. Visitors to the attraction will be seated in special chairs, which will then turn the backs upwards, creating the illusion that the person hovers over the majestic space types, observing them from the top down. The illusion of movement within the virtual reality does not make it real, because at the time, as a visitor attraction in VR headset will admire distant planets, his body will rush through a real roller coaster ride, feeling quite appreciable load from the UPS and downs.
Alton Towers was closed last year after as a result of human error on one of the rides was seriously injured five visitors. As a result of the accident 190 the Park staff was on the verge of dismissal, but the management has done serious work on the bugs, reworked the security protocols and plans to regain the trust of their visitors, including with the new attraction, for the first time in history combines a roller coaster with virtual reality. The cost of this attraction to the organizers flew in a seven-figure sum in pounds sterling.
The project was called Galactica. After visitors leave the attraction of the Earth’s orbit and pass through the wormhole, they will be able to see with my own eyes the majestic Orion Nebula, icy plains and lakes of lava on a distant fantastic planet, and also to witness the birth of a supernova. The entire flight will take about three minutes, but during this time people will be able to get a huge portion of various emotions. A ticket to the new attraction will cost from 8.5 to 17.5 pounds sterling depending on age and number of participants in the group. Available are special offers, for example, cheaper tickets, if you buy them immediately for her entire family.
Well, as long as Elon Musk and NASA are planning to go to Mars, admire the beauty of the space, and by such an unusual attraction. Here at least you don’t buy yourself a ticket to one end. And after the flight you admiration to exhale and go to the nearest stall for cotton candy.
