10 years ago, VR coasters were promising to be the future, but now they're just a relic, after most of the parks that gave it a try ended up ditching the technology soon after. But why did the likes of Galactica and Kraken Unleashed fail, and what did the parks do wrong to waste the potential of this technology? I also take a look at whether Apple and a new ride at Universal's Epic Universe could kickstart a revolution of next-gen VR attractions.
