I can see the draw for these types of experiences, as the pandemic really forced a lot of adults into becoming more isolated. I know personally I've had to make a concerted effort to stay engaged socially after moving to remote work. Since that time I've had the opportunity to do some fun competitive socializing events like high-end laser tag and even a giant Nerf gun battle, and they were always a blast.

I'm a HUGE Ghostbusters fan so I'd definitely be all over those VR experiences. I had the opportunity to experience the Ghostbusters VR experience at Madame Tussaud's in NYC nearly a decade ago, and it was really incredible. While VR is a bit less of a novelty now than it was when I first experienced that attraction, I'm hoping these types of places will have the resources to keep it on the cutting edge.

It's going to be interesting to see how these non-park entertainment complexes fare. Really looking forward to getting out there and experiencing some of them.

Great points Tim. (Which is something I say a lot in response to your comments!) I also did the Ghostbusters VR experience in NYC and thought it was quite well done also. Next to The Void Star Wars attractions that were at the Disney resorts, it was my favorite VR experience I'd say.
