Description

Helicopter is a 3DOF motion simulator ride with VR city tours. Guests wear a Pico G2 headset and sit in a motion-enabled helicopter seat that moves in sync with the visuals. The content library includes aerial tours of New York, London, Paris, and Istanbul. Rides run on rails — passengers don’t control the helicopter, they experience the scripted flight path.

The system seats one passenger per unit. Operators can run multiple units in parallel if floor space allows. Throughput depends on ride length and the number of units deployed. VRPark, the manufacturer, lists the footprint as TBC — confirm dimensions before committing floor space.

The 3DOF motion base delivers pitch, roll, and yaw — no vertical lift or lateral translation. That’s enough to simulate banking turns and turbulence. It won’t replicate a full 6DOF flight simulator, but it’s sufficient for a city sightseeing experience where the motion reinforces the visuals rather than simulates aerobatic maneuvers.

An attendant is required to operate the system, load passengers, and handle the VR headset between sessions. The Pico G2 is a standalone headset — no external PC or tracking infrastructure required. That simplifies setup but limits visual fidelity compared to PCVR systems.

This is built for family entertainment centers and arcades that want a seated VR attraction with a low barrier to entry. The content is sightseeing, not combat or horror — suitable for ages 7 and up. Families and younger guests are the primary audience. Guests who want interactivity or control won’t find it here; this is a passive viewing experience with motion enhancement.

VRPark supports the product in the USA. Operators outside the U.S. should confirm local service availability before purchasing. The product page lists financing options — contact VRPark directly for terms.
