Quite frankly I’m just happy to see this park getting some love again.
Me to the owners are really great people and I am happy to see them get stuff that will help them to continue being successful.
Wild seeing how tall the thing is going to be. What a statement piece.
Memorial Day 2025 at this rate.
I thought the same at first, but after visiting a few Fun Spot locations this year, it seems like wood (sometimes painted) is "industry standard" for these kinds of kart tracks. Excited to try the new track this summer, hopefully.
Utility poles, while not going under stress and strain of holding up a track, last about 50 years. Should be just fine for quite some time.
I mean not to be critical, but is one of the delay reasons being the vertical metal supports weren't available? Just made me do a double take is all.
These are usually constructed with wooden poles to support the track.
okay see thats what I was looking for, but yeah its still surprising.
It will be really cool when its ready, that is one of those big jumps in entertainment level going from flat tracks of our youth to 3 dimension mario kart.

No there were some last minute issues at the county level that delayed the start as well as some unforeseeable construction issues that caused delays and they were forced to choose to either pause construction over the summer or have extended closers while work was bing done and went for that they saw as the lesser of two evils of pausing construction. Basically no work was being done from the end of May till the beginning of September. Since then there has been a noticeable increase in progress.
Was there last weekend and they still have a ton of work to do. I could see this opening in July if they keep pushing.
