IAAPA ’17 Wrap-up: Virtual Reality, Talking Robots and Fun Food filled the annual Orlando theme park convention
Guests walking around the show floor were surrounded by different VR experiences, one of the more classic ones offered was the MaxFlight simulator. You may have seen something similar to this in a shopping mall or other small carnival. Visitors who took on this experience got to fly a virtual plane over a small island. A fun part of this simulator is the fact that it does complete inversions and twists, making for a wild ride. Guests to the attraction could be heard screaming from across the show floor, especially during the times of when the simulator flips.
A scarier part of the event had to be zombies walking the floor of the Triotech booth. The undead were present to celebrate the company’s virtual reality “Fear the Walking Dead Survival” Attraction. This virtual experience is multisensory and combines a thrill ride, escape room, maze, and an interactive game, all set against the horrors of a zombie apocalypse. The adventure puts the guests right in the middle of an episode from the TV series, letting them live the same experience as the characters in the show.
