The Force Awakened at Disney Springs’ ‘Star Wars’ attraction

“I've been watching the original "Star Wars" trilogy since I was a little kid. I can recite many of the lines and know the names of many of the characters and not just the famous ones -- by heart. Never did I think I'd ever get to feel like I was starring in a "Star Wars" film of my own, but that's exactly what the Void, a virtual-reality experience attraction at Disney Springs, feels like. It was one of the most exhilarating, exciting attractions I've ever experienced, and not just because I'm an unabashed Jedi wannabe.
The Void is located on the north end of Disney Springs, an area you might not even find easily, as this part of the shopping, dining and entertainment district has barely been touched by the renovation. For just $30, you'll don a virtual-reality headset, vest and a blaster gun like the ones Storm Troopers use in the films for a thrilling 20-minute walk-through called Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire. The objective: recover Imperial intelligence vital to the survival of the Rebellion.
The experience is a cross between laser tag and virtual reality (VR) video gaming. In the briefing room, players receive their instructions and some information about the mission. You'll pick your team's color so you can recognize other players through the VR visor. Then, you'll be escorted to put your belongings in a locker, and put on the helmet, visor, vest and blaster. If it feels like you're headed into battle, you're not wrong....”
