Disney Parks Unviels its Next VR Expereince

[Figment!]

Disney Parks & Resorts has announced another VR experience expanding their partnership with The VOID:

... Beginning this fall, Ralph Breaks VR will put you inside a new multi-sensory Disney adventure where you’ll be immersed in the worlds of the internet and online gaming with Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope. To create Ralph Breaks VR and future hyper-reality experiences that allow you to explore amazing worlds and engage with favorite characters, The Walt Disney Company and ILMxLAB (Lucasfilm’s award-winning immersive entertainment division) are again collaborating with the team at The VOID.

“Our filmmakers and the terrific people at ILMxLAB have collaborated to bring an incredible hyper-real experience, for all ages, to The VOID,” said Oscar-winning “Ralph Breaks the Internet” producer, Clark Spencer. “We can’t wait for people to be immersed in the worlds of the internet and online gaming with Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope.”

“At ILMxLAB, we are truly excited for fans to ‘Step Inside Our Stories’ by extending our award-winning creative collaboration with The VOID across The Walt Disney Company. Together, we will soon invite guests into other beloved Disney franchises where they can explore rich worlds, engage with compelling characters, embark upon heart-pounding adventures, and indulge the senses — experiencing the magic as never before,” said Vicki Dobbs Beck, ILMxLAB Executive in Charge.

... Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will not be going away.

As noted, the new experience is not planned to replace the current Star Wars offering.

The VOID was fun, but it's no Star Trek Holodeck, at least not yet. Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome and immersive experience, but it still feels like you are in a video game vs. something truer to life. I would definitely go back if they changed it up, but didn't feel that it was worth doing twice.
