Where’s the nearest airport?

Looks like a hoot! Nice work, Eric.

Do those Karts have the beans to break the rear tires loose so you can do a complete tail-out drift up the triple corkscrew? Because that would make it so worth 12 New York dollars for five minutes!!

Looks pretty groovy, like my old AFX track, only with carts

A little better video.

Have to take your word for it, not a facebook person

Bill Douglas 05-31-2018 01:06 PM

Phew, that was fun even watching it.

Eric Hahl 05-31-2018 01:11 PM

We go there in the winter for a wagjag deal right beside that, 2 nights family and 4 two day passes to the big water slide park.
OK times, but it's for sure a tourist trap area.

Yes, it's like a mini Orlando.

Yes I should have said big for a indoor park. Orlando is massive in comparison.

Saw advertising for this place last year. People were talking about it being a "have to" visit place to see. :)

I think this layout is cool- but me stupid and confused.

There seems to be two videos/pics version of the track. In layout one, the downhill has two dips and goes into a right hand spiral helix which goes through one and a half rotations down one full level and lets out back to the start.(Eric's version and pics of the track from the website)

In the second version- the track dips three dips to ground level and then takes about a 180 degree right turn to go back to the start. There is no helix on the lower end. (tobra's video version)

post #23 vs. #27.

I feel like I'm on drugs. Please help!!!!!

I can't tell if the lower helix was an original virtual plan and budgeted out, or if the lower helix was added in later.
Edit- I guess I could go look at the video dates, and figure it out, but I feel since Eric has inside info- he owes us an insider explanation! :)

No reason to be confused. The version without the second spiral was built first. The owner didn't like it and wanted to add the downhill spiral. Cost a fricken lot of money to tear that section out and rebuild.

That would be fun going in the reverse direction, drifting down that spiral, instead, you are turning slowly, at Niagara Falls
