$1.5 billion virtual reality theme park opens in China
Oriental Science Fiction Valley has a giant robot and cyberpunk castle
If VR on your phone or headset isn't enough, how about a whole VR theme park?
China’s first virtual reality theme park is now officially open in the southwestern city of Guiyang, the capital of one of China’s poorest provinces.
Oriental Science Fiction Valley offers a range of VR-related experiences including roller coaster rides, games, movies and, for some reason, bungee jumping from a 173-feet tall giant robot.

The park says it will also help the city rely less on scenery tourism and help bring more income in winter months.
