Dr. Archibald

The lines between reality and fantasy blur in the VR adventure ride that visited Vienna’s Wurstelprater in 2020. Dr. Archibald – Master of Time entertains its passengers with a mix of pre- and post-show rooms, adventure courses, and a rail-guided VR track. As a visitor, you embark on a quest to find the missing Dr. Archibald, professor of history, amateur archaeologist, and inventor, using an Oculus Rift headset.

Before its transformation into Dr. Archibald in 2017, the ghost train was known as Mammuthöhle, Geister-Tempel, and Geisterhotel.
