List of roller coasters with virtual reality extensions (VR Coaster)

This list contains all worldwide roller coaster facilities that have been equipped with a virtual reality extension in public operations.

Since September 2015, several roller coasters offer the possibility to experience the ride with a synchronized virtual reality application. By wearing a VR headset during the ride, speed, dimensions as well as theming can be vastly extended in the simulated environment, while still experiencing the real g-forces and air-time moments of the actual ride.
