Do NOT spend your money on this. It seems cool looking at it. However, you see 3 lakes, tons of resorts/hotels and industrial parks. Maybe a map to see what your looking for in the 'car' and binoculars would make this more attractive but I would not recommend this.

Gimmeky and not worth the money. You might want to do it for the view but gets boring after couple of minutes. Beware of the stuffs that wants to sell you the pictures. They will try their 100% to sell you the pictures. Those are expensive. $42.96 for couple of pictures.

They also had Bluetooth so you could connect music from your phone. They also had a bar available b...

There's a smal bar right before you board your car, photographers to take pictures of your adventure, & the staff is polite & professional. It's such a great experience- a definite must for anyone that wants to see the City Be...
