Epic Roller Coasters Coasters you could never ride in real life

This is a game built around sharing the ride. Gather friends in a lobby, pick a coaster and see who screams first. Compete to find out who is the faster rider, or team up in Shooter mode and work together to hit as many targets as the track throws at you. If nobody you know is online, you can ride beside a virtual companion instead, or take a chance on a random person and end up sharing a drop with a stranger. Sessions are short and social: pick a track, ride it, argue about who derailed, go again.

Every coaster comes in three flavors. Classic is the pure ride: hold on and take in the scenery, alone or with family and friends. Shooter turns the track into a target range, and it is the mode that hooks people; you fly past targets at full speed and try to land your shots before the next drop takes them away. Race hands you control of the cart's speed, so the ride becomes a lap against the clock or against your friends. Same track, three very different feelings.

The settings are the point. One track runs through a valley where dinosaurs are still alive; others take you through magical lands, haunted places, dystopian futures, fairy tales and architectural wonders. The visuals are bright and saturated, made to land an impression in the first seconds of a drop. And since this is VR, the speed and height feel close to the real thing, in situations you will almost certainly never experience in a real park. Fair warning from those who know: if you are prone to motion sickness, keep a bag nearby. Derailing, for what it's worth, comes with some genuinely good views.
