Samsung and Six Flags partner to launch virtual reality roller coasters at 9 U.S. amusement parks

Samsung is teaming up with one of the world’s largest amusement park operators to launch a series of virtual reality roller coasters.

Samsung has revealed a tie-up with Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (Six Flags) that makes it the amusement park’s official technology partner across the U.S. Starting this month, nine Six Flags parks will host what are thought to be the first VR roller coasters in the U.S. — and as you’ve probably guessed already, they’ll be backed by Samsung’s Oculus-powered Gear VR headset.
