I have not yet had the chance to experience VR, I've just been to busy working or studying to try it out at a friends house. But I am pretty hyped about this and I will definitely be taking some vacation time to go do this

Is hyper reality more hyper than RL?

If it were anyone other than Disney, I might be tempted.

Why are people still making "VR Experiences" 

Anyone who actually owns a VR or has used on for a while knows "VR Experiance" means "360 video" with a small amount of interaction.. better they use the development power to make a full game...
