Why ride a regular ole roller coaster, if you could kick it up a notch with some virtual reality technology?

Cedar Point has added a bit more amusement to its park with virtual reality and augmented reality offerings.

Starting today, fans of the Iron Dragon will get to experience the ride using special VR headsets. The park began testing out the feature last year.

Now, Iron Dragon: VR will be available to coaster fans starting at 6 p.m. each day through September 4. Just a note: you have to be 13 or older to be able to participate in the VR experience, according to a news release from the park.

And if you need some entertainment while waiting in line, you can check out the park's revamped "Battle for Cedar Point" mobile game. The free game can be played through the Cedar Point app

Cedar Point says it has augmented reality features, and lets guests virtually battle with other visitors and unlock interactive billboards around the park.
