Busch Gardens now houses an amazing VR setup

I need this rig for my home headset right now.

I have worn a lot of different HTC Vive headsets. I enjoy the design, but setting the headset up the first time so it fits you just right can be a little on the tedious side. Which is one of several reasons I was a little uncertain when I heard Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia was going to be filling a room full of many Vive headsets for its latest attraction, Battle for Eire. If the headset takes a while to set up, it means getting people on and off the ride is going to take longer than most other rides in a theme park. Longer wait times seldom translate to a totally positive experience, which could have meant this new VR-based experience was short-lived.

Fortunately for everyone involved, a unique new head strap was built for this version of the Vive to make getting the headset on and off incredibly smooth and fast. In fact, it's so well done I would happily buy this as a mod for my Vive at home.
