No VR on Kraken?

Just been watching a YouTube video which was filmed earlier this week and there is no VR on Kraken. Anyone there now who can confirm this?

You can ride Kraken with or without the VR Headset.

There are no head sets or boxes, they have been taken off.

Seems strange- I was hoping to ride it with no VR in the summer. Perhaps someone might know why they are missing.

Just googled it and found this and I am happy


The headsets have been slowly disappearing from many of the trains in the past few months, as the coaster has been having tons of issues with the VR headsets. While nothing official has been revealed, it’s looking like the headsets are being removed, and taking the ride back to it’s original form.

That would be brilliant, the turn around time is ridiculous with the VR. I wouldn't use it anyway.

DH rode without but DD insisted on wearing it last August and hated it. Not sure why she wore it as she also hated Galatica the year before with the headset but loves it without.

I wore it in September, but wasn't overly impressed. Seemed like they had sooo much going on that it spoilt the ride, nice idea though

Yup they're taking them away. The party line is they will be back though as they're away for maintenance. Tim Tracker talked about it in a recent youtube video. So who knows...lol

From what I heard and read, they have been taken away for 2 reasons until they can find a solution.
First, people hated them.
Second, there was a increase of motion sickness and people being sick afterwards.
