SeaWorld Orlando ditches VR goggles on Kraken Unleashed roller coaster

Park officials say cleaning and adjusting googles was slowing down lines

ORLANDO, Fla. – SeaWorld Orlando has gotten rid of virtual reality headsets that were installed on its Kraken Unleashed roller coaster a little more than a year ago.

News outlets report that park officials have confirmed that the headsets, which disappeared last month, are gone for good.

SeaWorld deputed the VR headsets last June as a way to freshen up the ride, which originally opened in 2000. The VR story followed the rollercoaster's movements as a virtual submarine evaded deep-sea creatures.

Park officials say cleaning and adjusting the goggles was slowing down the lines too much.
