Chimelong Paradise Launches China’s First “Honor of Kings”-Themed VR Roller Coaster
Boarding the newly upgraded Pegasus Family Roller Coaster and putting on high-tech VR goggles, visitors are greeted by the “Joy Ambassador” Mengdi alongside popular Honor of Kings heroes such as Zhuang Zhou, Wang Zhaojun, and Da Qiao. Using his dream-devouring ability, Mengdi whisks guests away into a magical dreamscape, taking them through fantastical worlds including mysterious seabeds, icy landscapes, and vast starry skies.
The VR roller coaster fully immerses visitors in a virtually real yet incredibly authentic world. Physically, riders can clearly sense whether they are moving straight, tilting, or turning, and when combined with the visual intensity of the VR goggles, experiences such as underwater exploration, speeding across glaciers, or strolling among the stars are dramatically intensified. VR technology also greatly enriches the visual dimension of the roller coaster ride, breaking the limitations of conventional rides that only show the track and real scenery. With VR, riders enjoy a richer visual panorama, and when paired with the tangible sensations of acceleration and inertia, the immersion is heightened, significantly boosting the fun factor.
VR technology greatly enhances the visual experience of the roller coaster and makes the ride more fun.
In addition to the “Honor of Kings”-themed VR roller coaster, the “Chimelong · King’s Summer Carnival” event is in full swing at Chimelong Paradise. Characters such as Luban, Zhong Wuyan, and Xiahou Yuan feature in attractions like “Guardians of the Honor,” where visitors can brave obstacle courses, water slides, and extreme skateboarding. There are also Honor of Kings-themed parade floats and a midsummer carnival party, offering guests a fully immersive amusement experience.
The creative cross-industry collaboration between Chimelong and Honor of Kings delivers an even more exceptional experience to visitors through cutting-edge amusement technology.
Notably, the innovative partnership between Chimelong and Honor of Kings introduces state-of-the-art entertainment technology, offering visitors unprecedented experiences. At Chimelong Paradise, riders can enjoy the VR roller coaster, interact with Mengdi using QQ AR technology, or watch the stunningly realistic “Valley Detective Squad 2” in the 4D cinema.
