How does it compare to Speeders in terms of experience? I thought Speeders was pretty nicely done, but the relatively small track and the fact that put too many people in one race, kind of took the fun out of it. I like the fact that the track here is nice and long, so it's probably not too crowded.

Either way, the more stuff like this where you can do stuff with kids, the better.

Just got back, we took our two kids, 6 and 3 years old. My six year old tried to control it the last time, but was having a little trouble getting the hang of pulling back to brake. So, we did 5 runs, tandem with our kids for all runs. We had a blast.

Shout out to the staff today too, they were playing various forms of tag with all the kids at the bottom while we were waiting for the weather to clear. Very friendly.

Looks very boring for an adult. Awesome for the kids though. I went on a pretty cool one in Nha Trang, Vietnam...

Looks like a lot of fun, although perhaps a bit slow on the the video. Would be fun to take a regular go-kart down this.

The track was actually put in last summer and was underneath the snow all winter season. It is permanent, although clearly not operational in winter season.

I'd bring some banana peels and a can of oil and make it like Mario Kart in there.

Also, the guy in the video is an ass. He clearly cuts off the kid on his right hand side around the 1 min mark.

There's a 50% off deal ($42 value for $21) on CJAY92 Deals on right now.

I think it gets you 2 certificates (3 ride individual ticket each).
Cheap!

I recommend this as well. We did it as a family on Monday afternoon, just prior to the rain hitting. Great fun, decent value for cost and had a blast. Lifestyle points to the first person who brings a mario kart star to stick on their helmet for the day. Plush turtles would be fun as well.

That happened to one of our friends as well. She had a crazy reaction!
