JACKSON -- The Skull Mountain roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure will this fall be one of eight rides across the company's theme parks to incorporate a gargoyle virtual reality game.

Skull Mountain at Great Adventure will be one of eight Six Flags roller coasters to incorporate a virtual reality experience.

Skull Mountain riders will be able to take part in Rage of the Gargoyles, Six Flags said in a news release.

Riders, who must be at least 13 years old, will wear Samsung Virtual Reality headsets. They will "fire" on the gargoyles based on their head movements.

That will allow riders to keep their hands on the lap bar as the roller coaster zips along the tracks.

The experience will send riders "twisting, turning and diving through the hazardous city streets -- flying over battered skyscrapers, plunging underneath twisted bridges and dodging falling debris, all while shooting to repel these lethal demons and conquer the vicious master gargoyle," according to Six Flags.

Six Flags didn't specify when in the fall the virtual reality element to Skull Mountain will debut.

"Rage of the Gargoyles" will replace a virtual reality experience called the "The New Revolution" previously unveiled at six Six Flags parks across the country.

In May, Great Adventure unveiled The Joker, a 4-D, free-fly coaster.
