"2020: The Ride" is a terrifying year in review in the form of a VR roller coaster because of course it is.
2020 was messed up. So messed, in fact, that Youtube decided to not even do their annual year in review. But you know what they say — “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
Introducing 2020: The Ride, a year in review in the form of the world’s scariest VR roller coaster. When the economy drops, you drop. When Covid-19 rates speed up, you speed up. Travel through natural disasters, protests and political turmoil in a ride you’ll never forget (no matter how badly you wish you could).
