HoldOut! Bunker Defense Virtual Reality
The Bunker Defense VR Arena accepts up to 4 people at a time. It uses state-of-the-art VR and 4D-technology to let patrons have an immersive presence inside a digital world while engaging in simulated rifle target practice with artificial intelligent (AI) enemies. Patrons wear high-tech head-mounted VR goggles that allow them to look around in any direction while their simulated rifles provide haptic feedback to simulate recoil as they fire at their targets. 4D effects such as floor vibrations and wind add to the realism of being on a virtual battlefield. The experience is collaborative, and patrons compete with each other within the arena.
Restrictions: You must be 52" tall to participate in HoldOut! Bunker Defense Virtual Reality. Eyewear and hats may not be worn while wearing the VR Headset.

Jump into the command seat of a World War II-era Sherman Tank and engage the enemies of the Allies in this virtual reality recreation of what Soldiers may have experienced in Western Europe during World War II. Our motion-platform and electronic 3D goggles will immerse you in the action as you look in any direction and order your massive 75-millimeter gun to fire on approaching enemy vehicles and machine-gun nests through "look targeting" technology. Help your fellow tank commander advance the Allied position in this exciting interactive and collaborative experience.
