Just about every kid dreams of going to Disney World, the most magical place on Earth when viewed through youthful eyes (but a lot of waiting in long lines for the older and more cynical crowd). Because of the high demand, enjoying a day at the theme park can get pretty expensive, so when Victor Peoro told his young daughter that it was too pricey to go, he came up with a pretty good alternative: a virtual reality roller coaster (via Neatorama). <\/p>\n
His setup was supremely simple: Get a POV YouTube video of a roller coaster ride playing on the TV, put his daughter in a small plastic bin, then hold that bin in front of the TV and move it around in sync with the video. Her laughter is proof enough that this was a good idea, and it looks like dad is having a nice time himself. <\/p>\n
Tell you what, though: I dont have a daughter of my own, but if I did, I dont think Id be able to pull this offgoodness, are you seeing how huge this guys forearms are? Love is a powerful thing, but I got to start doing some curls or whatever sort of workout will inflate my forearms like that. <\/p>\n
The good news is that the Peoro family might make it to Disney World after all. At the suggestion of many YouTube commenters, the father started a GoFundMe page to make his daughters dream of going to the theme park come true, and its nearly at the halfway point of its goal in less than 24 hours. <\/p>\n
