Description: Take a ride on a huge 200m (600ft) swing with breathtaking views or try other height challenges! A vast modern city is your playground. Height and speed are your passion. Ultimate height experience for VR!

Review: Ultimate Booster is a fun and very intense ride experience on a giant 600ft fun fair swing. Set up inside a city or the new scene which looks like the Grand Canyon you get to ride something that people will try and put you off riding. They will tell you not to go on it, they will tell you it is the scariest thing they have even rode, but you won’t listen to them you will ride it anyway.

Featuring amazing scenery, banging tunes and even a new fly around eagle mode, this is an app to test yourself to the limits. It doesn’t matter that this ride is in VR, you will believe you can feel the wind rushing through your hair and even stranger than that, you will swear blind you can feel the G-force trying to rip your stomach out. It’s not so much a ride simulation, more a stamina test

This is a short, fun app that will test your body to the limits of VR sickness, even I felt a little queazy and I would consider myself VR hardened. This is not one for people who are new to VR at all, in fact, if you suffer from even the slightest VR sickness give this a wide birth. Having said all that, it is one of the craziest VR apps you will ever experience and the first time you play it will probably be your last. I could easily see this being something to test mouthy friends with who think they are hard when it comes to VR, a sort of stamina test that will make most people scared of funfair rides for the rest of their lives.
