VR Coaster Rides und Coastiality App

The VR Coaster system takes entertainment to entirely new dimensions—almost literally. The thrill of a real roller coaster ride is enhanced on many levels through the use of virtual reality. Using a proprietary hardware and software system, the VR ride is precisely synchronized with the movements of the real roller coaster cars. The experience is rounded out with high-quality 3D graphics in 4K resolution, pushing the mobile platform to its limits. The result is a completely new experience that makes childhood dreams come true: riders ride on dragons, fly alongside Superman, and go on an interactive hunt for aliens. VR vastly amplifies the perception of ride speed and scale, enabling experiences that could never be built in reality. Combined with real weightlessness and enhanced G-forces, this creates a breathtaking attraction unlike anything seen before.

The patented product is highly scalable—both original content and world-renowned brands can be adapted for any target audience and any ride. The use of mobile VR headsets enables a wide variety of personalized experiences, which can also be taken home via the app. Since 2014, the inventors themselves have been developing and producing the system at every stage of manufacturing. These pioneering entrepreneurs have already equipped over 30 roller coasters worldwide with the system—the majority of them in the U.S. Thus, by combining one of the most classic amusement park attractions with new technologies and interactive content, they have created an impressive demonstration of German innovation with international relevance.
