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.
You must be 52" tall to participate. Eyewear and hats may not be worn while wearing the VR Headset.
Tank Commander Virtual Reality Transporter*
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.
You must be 48" tall to participate. Eyewear and hats may not be worn while wearing the VR Headset.

From the sands of Kitty Hawk to the deck of a modern aircraft carrier, trace the human flight heritage through more than 110 years of achievements in aviation progress. From the pioneering biplane era through the two world wars and into aviation's golden age of air racing, this experience tells of daring first flights and the advent of risky seaborne landings. Follow the fearless Tuskegee Airmen defenders, this experience guides us through aircraft such as the Wright Flyer, the Spad XIII, the Gee Bee Model Z, the P-51 Mustang, the F-4 Phantom II, and the F/A 18.
