RIDE EXPERIENCE
You begin by purchasing tickets inside the Pit Row souvenir shop which is located between Boomerang and Paratrooper. Choose from the Lightning Track or Thunder Track. For the most part, they are both very much the same. The tracks wind around through hairpin turns, over bridges and through tunnels.
 
RIDE HISTORY & INFO
The cars are powered by Honda engines even though the body style is based on Dodge cars. The only downside of this ride is you have to pay extra, but not near as much as you do for the other X-Venture Zone rides.
      In the late 1980's & early 90's there were old bleachers here which were used by rodeo spectators in the 1970s. They were torn down in October 1998 to make room for the Double Thunder Raceway.
 
PRICES
This is an X-Venture Zone attraction, which means it's not included in any passport.
Driver - $5.50 for 5 min
Passenger - $3 for 5 min
