While people are starting to worry about the idea of virtual reality technology someday taking over amusement parks. The first step is actually happening now in Odaiba, Tokyo. One of the top listed sightseeing areas where the Gundam statue holds its stand in the center. If you need a breather from the busy city of Tokyo, it is the closest area where you can play beach volleyball, head for an Edo-style onsen, or just simply chill with the breathtaking wide-open ocean view.

The place offers plenty of fun activities and exhibitions. And now, they just announced the opening of a new section called VR Zone: Project i Can, where players can hop-in there to feel a different level of real world entertaining experience that they've never challenged before.

The main games you’ll be able to enjoy at VR Zone:

Fear of Heights Show

An extreme test of courage where you rescue a cat left behind on a thin plank 200 meters above the ground.

Skii Rodeo

A downhill skiing experience set on a snowy cliff.

Real Drive

A sports driving experience.

Escape Ward Omega

A “were we really attacked?” horror experience where you enter a giant, ruined hospital ward together with everyone.

Train Master

A railroad operation experience of becoming a train driver for JR Yamanote line, the most busy railroad in Tokyo.

Argyle Shift

A cinematic experience where together with a girl, you enter the cockpit and battle with giant robot.

The 5,870 square-foot VR Zone will act not only as a new entertainment area, it will also function as a VR research facility where Bandai Namco can gain feedback from users to exceed further possibilities in virtual reality. The location will be in Tokyo Plaza for a limited time from April 15th until mid-October, and appointments will start being taken on April 8th at 12pm. If you are scared of heights, it will be a perfect place to train your mentality of either you choose to save the kitty or yourself.
