The iconic 'Big Apple' roller coaster now goes by the name Tunnel Twister

Remember the green caterpillar-like roller coaster that's been at Essel World since forever? Well, that just got a technological makeover. For the last fortnight, trial runs for the iconic 'Big Apple' roller coaster have been taking place at the amusement park, but with a twist: now, ride enthusiasts will be given headgear that logs them into a virtual reality (VR) experience for the duration of the ride. Yesterday, the ride, now renamed 'Tunnel Twister', was inaugurated and thrown open to the public.
