This is undoubtedly fun. The circuit and the kart are better than I thought initially. When the karts are completely unlocked, they go fast and are very fun.But... many times the race was stopped or slowed down because of someone bumping into the guard rail or spinning. It is a bit annoying having people that don't know at all how to drive or let pass the fastest one. But I guess this is understandable.Definitely the most annoying part was, at one point, during our second ride, the computer that was keeping the timing and positions glitched and none of the times, laps, or positions were recorded. It is part of the fun seeing how fast you can go and see if you get the best time lap.Besides this glitch, overall it was a fun experience and I will probably go back.

First time and planning to go back had so much fun eve though the race last 10 minutes is worth it, might take some time the wait list, you can have snack, drink or just sit in the couch for you turn.

Love racing there as always! I have a 4/5 because half of the time I go there my karts always dead. Espeically that one time when it was a GP race, which really affected my performance.
