A New World at Go USA: Fun Park Now Offers Hyperdeck VR Experience

Go USA Fun Park, a Murfreesboro attraction with outdoor fun including batting cages, mini golf, a driving range and go-karts, will frequently add to its indoor arcade portion to bring new and entertaining experiences to its customers.

These offerings now include a flight simulator ride and a machine known as Virtual Rabbids: The Big Ride, an amusement about the size of a standard two-player racing arcade game that gives riders quite a wild trip aboard a roller coaster once they strap on the virtual reality headsets.

Go USA added an even larger and more intricate virtual reality adventure in February with the MajorMega‏ VR Hyperdeck, something new and innovative for Murfreesboro gamers.

The Hyperdeck is the size of a small room, with four VR headsets and handsets. Participants strap on the goggles, grab onto the guns and prepare to enter a whole new world.

Here, in these colorful new surroundings, the players must first use their guns to grab crystals before some sort of heavy-metal-shredding villain takes over the world . . . don’t think too hard about the plot. Just grab as many of these blue crystals as possible—and there’s a lot of them—to rack up your score prior to the next segment, which sees players speeding through the desert having to blast some manner of mechanical alien menaces.

Fans moving air, heat and the tilting and moving of the platform add to the immersive visuals to allow players to soak in this otherworldly experience for a few minutes. Step out of the Go USA interior for a moment into a separate environment.

And while this game, known as H.A.I.R., is currently the only one available on the Go USA machine, Go USA manager Terri DeLong says new games will be loaded onto the local Hyperdeck very soon.

Go USA currently offers The Hyperdeck for $9.50 per play. The fun park is located at 2270 Armory Dr., just off of Thompson Lane, and is open from 10 a.m.–11 p.m. Sunday–Thursday; 10 a.m.–1 a.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.–1 a.m. Saturday.
