Theme Parks: Fighting for Your Travel Dollar with Technology

Theme parks continue to out-do one another with technology this year. Six Flags partnered with Samsung this year in opening nine virtual reality roller coasters across the country. Riders board real coasters and then strap virtual reality glasses over their eyes. Thus, they’re transported to a futuristic battle to save Earth from an alien invasion.
