Ralph Breaks VR brings Ralph Breaks the Internet into hyper reality
Put on your headsets. Ralph Breaks VR takes the highly anticipated Ralph Breaks the Internet off the screen and puts you in the story.
Ralph Breaks VR will have fans flocking to The VOID Experience Centers. With Ralph Breaks the Internet arriving in theaters this month, this new virtual reality experience will put fans directly into the movie action. Create by The VOID, this new hyper-reality experience should not be missed.
This newest virtual reality experience follows the highly successful Star Wars: Secrets Of The Empire experience from The VOID. Anyone who has played that virtual reality experience understands the intensity of the game. In this version, Ralph and Vanellope bring players into the internet for some extreme action.
Check out this video for a sampling of where players will go.
To be clear, this game involves a team. Four people play with each other. Once you put on the virtual reality headsets, you can fully interact not only with the game but also with the people in the room. The interaction with the team is the biggest part of the entertainment value. It is what makes The VOID “hyper reality.”
As virtual reality experiences continue to advance, gaming companies are looking to make these games less about the individual and more about the group. The VOID understands that its success comes not just from the great storylines and characters (like Star Wars, Ghostbusters and others), but from the intensity of the experience.
Friends want to go through the virtual reality experience with other people. It engages the players, creates a team motivation to win and enhances the overall memory of the event. For example, part of the fun of riding a roller coaster is riding it with a friend. The same is said with this type of hyper-reality VR. The increased enjoyment comes from seeing and playing with people in the virtual reality.
Going forward, more of these virtual reality experiences will become available. At the most recent IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Flordia, numerous companies were showcasing interactive virtual reality experiences. Whether it was a ninja dojo or stepping into a favorite movie, the experiences were meant to be enjoyed with a group. Gone are the days of playing alone. Now large groups are putting on the headsets and stepping into other worlds.

With Ralph Breaks the Internet hitting movie theaters, it is the perfect time to launch this newest attraction. While people are familiar with the characters, the buzz on the upcoming movie is huge. People are wanting to bring those characters off the screen and into their own experiences.
Looking ahead, it will be curious to see what additional themes could be incorporated into The VOID experiences. The brand has a commitment from Disney/Marvel to release other VR experiences. In 2019, it is believed to launch another experience based on a Disney/Marvel movie.
Thinking about this potential 2019 launch, a likely launch could be Spider-Man based because of the movie Spider-Man: Far From Home. That premises seems to fit with previous The VOID attractions. Most of the attractions focus on a few characters moving within various scenes. Plus, the guests could easily assume a role within that storyline.
For now, fans will have to wait a few more days to walk into Ralph Breaks VR. Beginning Nov. 21, the experience will open at all North American VOID Experience Centers. It is the same day that Ralph Breaks the Internet opens in theaters.
