These kooky little electric-powered vehicles zip through what appear to be repurposed playground slides.
And they are exactly what I'd expect from Japan: a sleeker, more elegant version of traditionally noisy, rumble-bumbly, gas-powered go-karts.
The bobkarts do bring the thrill of go-karts down a notch or two, but that was perfectly acceptable right after riding Ultra-Twister...
...and the course has these wavy bits, which were keen.
Plus, you can swoop up into the turns a smidge, if you really mash the throttle.
We didn't ride the Chutes, but these are always entertaining to watch in action.
You know what I'd love to try someday? Mating a "World of Color" style fountain show with one of these things. Impractical perhaps, but I'd sure love to ride and look at something like that... |
