Self-isolation has never been so much fun

With self-quarantine advised around the world and tourist attractions shut, people are getting creative with ways to entertain themselves during self-isolation.

From in-home concerts by musicians to making funny memes, the internet has never been so creative.

But what’s an adrenaline junkie to do without the ability to visit theme parks (which have predictably shut due to the coronavirus)? The next best thing: ride top attractions ‘virtually’ at home and on YouTube.

Disneyland in particular has loads of point-of-view videos, taken by dedicated theme park goers – letting those in self-isolation enjoy some of the world’s top rollercoasters and rides from the relative safety of their homes.

While there is no stomach-churning substitute for the real thing, these virtual rides do let you take on some of the world’s top rides (not just those in a single theme park).

So strap in and let’s kill some time.
