en dit ook zonder screens wel [:I]
Segaworld is a showcase of computer technology dedicated to the pursuit of fun. It\'s a theme park inside the Trocadero building, bang next to Piccadilly Circus, London\'s most electrified tourist spot.
Leave those flashing signs behind, we\'ve done light bulbs and they don\'t thrill anymore. Ignore too the street drug sellers and instead take a massive escalator to a place of high energy entertainment. Noise, mind dazzle and adrenaline is what you\'ll find, no less a hit and just as additive.
Four hundred arcade machines and half a dozen rides are packed into six themed floors - one for kids and family, while others cover sports, motor races, and aircraft games. The escalator lands you into \'combat zone\', where you find the young at war with alien life forms. The sounds are visceral, no blood is spilt, though plenty of testosterone. While it\'s no nice welcome, appreciate that the players are on sentry duty and protecting our planet.
Like a regular theme park there are rides, but again they are rides plus. In the ghost train (Ghost Hunt) electronic ghouls attack you but you can zap them as you ride. The dodgem cars go one better too, offering bazookas to fire balls as you pass. One to go for is Space Mission where you enter your space craft, belt up in a hydraulic seat and don a virtual reality headset. Soon you\'re in a New World that you can really look around as you fly at the enemy. As you crash and swerve your seat jostles with appropriate brutality to add to the effect. Another ride, Max Flight puts two people in an extremely agile simulator box and takes them on a roller coaster inside an asteroid. You can program the severity of the ride, choosing what kind and how many loops and twists you fancy. Then having been secured and harnessed, you hear the tracks rumble and the ride begins. You see the journey on a five foot screen, feel the rush of the wind and note the one extra clue to when you\'re riding upside down: your feet dangle about your head!
Ik hoop echt dat dit nog bestaat [B)]
Een Segathemepark ik moet dit gewoon zien!!
