This was a great activity. I was enjoying my time, my husband was enjoying the thrill of going down as fast as he could. After we told staff that someone from a group of 4 rammed into me in a slow section, they put staff watching the slow bumper sections. Would do again+

Buy your tickets online. You can’t buy them there. Really fun activity with friends or family Might be a bit of a wait if you go on a nice day or the weekend. But the lines move pretty quick! You control your speed so you can go as fast or slow as you want. Good view of the city as you kart down the track
