Yes. You download a virtual reality app on your phone, or you can watch a YouTube 360 video I think. Then you put your phone in the slot as seen in the photo.ThemeParkCrafter wrote:Do you have to use your phone? Also so annoyed I never won ANYTHING yet I entered so many times

My google cardboard looks terrible with my phone. You need the most up to date phone for it to look good, even not good enough

I have the Samsung VR headset and agree that this app is good!Liam.W wrote: If ever anyone else gets their hands on this, or any other VR device, I recommend the 'Cedar Point VR' app. You get to ride Valravn from your home!
There are some good apps out there for VR, but they are limited at the moment!

Seems four teenagers were arrested on park yesterday following an assault which left one person having to be airlifted to hospital.

Scotland break up from school before England, so a lot of Scottish school trips at the moment. Overall the last two days the park was still quiet, both Nemesis and Rita only running on one train, so these rides had inflated queue times, the rest of the park (apart from Galatica) were mostly walk on's

On park today, lots of school trips, nemesis was only running 1 train, Gallatica had a average time of 50mins along with 13, & smiler around 40mins, Rita was running 2 trains with about 25 min wait time.
We did find a lack of food outlets open, and long ques at all kiosks that were open,
My biggest complaint was that while in forbidden valley we had to walk all the way back to towers street to buy fastrack tickets, this was the only place on park to sell them, it is very noticeable of the lack of staff on park and in kiosks, the staff working in these units today certainly earned there wages!

Should be busy, but not very busy. Expect queues of about 30-50 minutes for the big 6 at times, but of course this will change throughout the day. There will be some school trips present on the Monday no doubt!craig.day.92 wrote:Im off to the park this Sunday and Monday, Do you guys thing it will be pretty busy bearing in mind I have no idea about school holidays.

Took a leavers trip yesterday to AT with school and was surprised to see that the rapids only had the left side of the waterfall working, never seen it run with one side before also 13 was down most of the day from "technical difficulties" Nemesis was running great as always with the queue going down fast. Galatica was the ride with the biggest queue mostly around 40-90 minutes all day with the queue exceeding out of the entrance. The Smiler had no projections on or strobs on with just the normal room lighting on, Oblivions mist was great today filling the whole all up

When I went on the 18th only the right side of the rapids waterfall was working too. Also only the strobes were on in the smiler queue and no projections.Air15 wrote:Took a leavers trip yesterday to AT with school and was surprised to see that the rapids only had the left side of the waterfall working, never seen it run with one side before also 13 was down most of the day from "technical difficulties" Nemesis was running great as always with the queue going down fast.
