Virtual Roller Coasters Hit the Poughkeepsie Galleria

These things are so much fun. Long drives and long lines at big theme parks could be a a thing of the past. Virtual coasters are amazing and they're the future.

A new store has just opened up at the Poughkeepsie Galleria but this store is a bit different than other stores at the Gallleria.

Oh My God! Entertainment moved in to the Galleria a few weeks ago and you might notice people screaming with excitement while hanging upside down. While I was doing some shopping at the Galleria today I finally had to stop in and check this place out. It's unlike anything I've ever seen.

Participants lock into seats like a real roller coaster, strap on virtual reality headset and take off on a hydraulic adventure. The coaster gives the rider a very real experience which allows the coaster to spin upside down and even blow wind in your face. There are several virtual rides to choose from.

You can avoid long lines and the high prices of amusement parks by checking out this place at the Galleria.
