How to Experience Virtual Reality In a Theme Park Setting

Ok. So I was surfing the net for a virtual reality space simulation to go on my desktop background and I stumbled on this article about a virtual reality theme park.  Does that not sound completely awesome?   
The Void is located in Pleasant Grove, Utah and touts a completely immersive virtual reality experience that utilizes state of the art equipment and a predetermined physical space that you interact within.



The technology that they are using is state of the art.  They are creating the place in a predefined location of elements and physical space. This will allow them to match what is happening in the real world to the action within the virtual world. For instance: you can manipulate objects that are located in the physical world. So if you pick up a gun in the virtual world then you have a physical gun that can be picked up in real life, you can press on panels in the wall and get a physical reaction and interaction within the virtual world because the physical space is built to interact with your virtual experience. They also stepped things up even further with the addition of fans, smoke, sprinkles and steam that further immerse you into the virtual experience.  I am definitely going to have to make a the trip.  I really hope "The Void" does well and branches out to multiple locations across the U.S. and the world.
