Great track, smooth cars, plenty of attendants working to make everything go off without a hitch. Probably the best karts I've driven in a while with very little vibration. Was a lot of fun.
Went to the Peppermint Parkway Christmas experience. It was pretty cool lots of good light setups. All the staff was very nice and accommodating. My kid and a bunch of other kids got stuck on a ride for about 10 mins, which seemed to have spooked the staff, so they shut all the kiddie rides down for about 30 mins to double check all of them. There was go carts, zip lines, mini golf, and their new roller coaster the Circuit Breaker, which was amazing! All-in-all it was a great experience and I will definitely go back for the regular season!
Awesome experience and great for groups looking for a thrilling outing full of adrenaline.
