Sometimes you simply cannot leave the house. Maybe you have a new puppy that needs constant attention, and your eyes need to be glued to your pet for the next three weeks or so. At other times, there鈥檚 a pandemic going on.

Are your days boring? This is when virtual theme park rides can be a blessing. They bring the excitement of the amusement park right to your kitchen, living room, or other personal quarters. You can imagine riding the rides and scream. Don鈥檛 worry, no one will hear you, except for your brother sitting right next to you on the couch. Whether you like roller coasters, water rides, all things Disney, or VR experiences, you can catch it all online.聽Here is a look at five YouTube channels now offering some of the best rides caught on camera.

Coaster Force has fewer subscribers than Theme Park Review, but it has more individual views at over 6 billion, and this could be because it has been around since 2006.

This channel requires that you have a VR-headset such as an Oculus Quest or a Google Cardboard VR Box 360 in order to get the most out of the experience. Yes, you can watch the videos without a VR device, but you would be missing out on most of the experience.聽

3D-VR-360 Videos is a YouTube channel that allows you to take in new experiences through virtual reality as you become fully immersed in what is on screen. Turn your head and take in a new landscape. When you turn back you will see something else. Not all the videos on this channel offer virtual theme park rides, but many do offer than experience. Dive in and enjoy the ride from multiple angles.

1. Virtual Disney 海角社区

Just like 3D-VR-360 Videos, the videos on this channel are interactive 360-degree videos, and they are best viewed with a VR device such as a headset or a smartphone.聽

As the title indicates, this channel focuses entirely on Disney attractions. To be honest, it does have its benefits and drawbacks. When it comes to indoor rides that are dimly lit, the videographer did his best, but do not expect anywhere near the full experience on camera. At times these videos can be too dark for the camera to take much in. That being said, the outdoor rides do provide a unique experience for viewers. If you love Disney and have been to their parks and miss them, you can relive the experience here. If you cannot get to Disney 海角社区 for one reason or another, this very well could present you with the next best thing.
