So, last week while I was at Disney Quest we came upon a curtained area that some Imagineers were using to test a new vitural ride concept they are working on to be placed in the ships. We didn't get a chance to try it out since they were already done testing or the day. I did get some details though.

It just utilizes the same head gear technology that other presentations use in Disney Quest, a head strap that holds the clunky thing that goes infront of your eyes.

Basically what this is going to allow people to do is take a virtual ride through some of the old rides that have been lost in the parks. The ones they mentioned are Horizons, World of Motion, Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Skyway (thought that was weird, but they want to give people a look at the park from up above), Swan Boats, and Dream Flight.

Anyways, there are going to re-create the rides exactly as they were back in the days they were operating. I know some of the old nostalgia buffs are really going to like this.










Oh, one last thing, I just made it all up, there is no such thing. Just thought it sounded like a cool idea.
 
That sounds awesome! Will it simulate Horizons breaking down while I'm in the omnimax screen room? :)

You had me very excited for about 8 seconds or so. Don't know if I should thank you or throttle you for that!
 

I don't understand why you would make this post without stating up front that you were just spitballing an idea. I expect this sort of garbage on April 1 but not on just any day. Think before you post or at least be up front with what you are posting.

Aren't you a fun person to be around!!
