This is an exhilirating sport and I was psyched I got to try it! Your ride begins at the half way point of the actual track. There you squeeze into the small metal bullet with a professional 'driver' and get hurled down the run. It's very fast, very jerky and very loud. After my initial panic died down I really enjoyed this. I can only imagine what it would be like from the top! Too bad they don't let novices attempt it. The cost is about $30 per person but well worth it for the bragging rights alone. It's not something you can do in very many places so make the most of it while you're here!
