"Summer fun. It is the absolute best. Whether you visit Six Flags, Kings Island, a Disney Park, Busch Gardens, or another amusement park, the looping lines of roller coasters offer the perfect lens for getting students to interact with STEM concepts. An old garden hose, duct tape, and a marble: the only materials that you need to build a roller coaster. Cut the hose in half, and then duct tape the two segments together down the back to create a nice groove where the two hoses meet for the marble to ride, on top. Then the materials are ready for students to explore the potential and kinetic energy of roller coasters."

Since there’s only one price-point for enjoying the real life thrill of a roller coaster — expensive — and currently numerous ways and price points to enjoy virtual reality tech – why not meet in the middle?

And so, being the tech-obsessed creatures we have become, the virtual reality roller coaster is now a thing. However you interpret those four words, you are correct.

Check out the ways we found to experience the virtual reality roller coaster for yourself below.
