I'm going

JCB racing!

And you can drive!

It's pretty good! We went for a mate's birthday earlier in the year.

Highlights were the (giant) digger that spins you around in the bucket, and an offroad land-rover thing bombs around a muddy course and gets everybody splattered in mud.

That looks fantastic!

I am going there with a couple of mates (Thursday) to the Castleford one.

I will let you know how it all goes.

Looks like it is one of the best inventions for a theme park you could get.

A friend did his work experience there, rebuilding various diggers that had broken. Says it's wicked . His sister was working there during uni summer holidays too IIRC.

My boss went for his brother in laws stag party. Unfortunatly they didnt know you had to book for the JCB racing, so they spent the whole day on the kids rides. So SAD. up and down in the diggers!

He said it was the worst place he has ever been. The staff kept asking if they where ok...

Loud music. Quiet office. Red face.

On the upside, every bloke in the place now wants to go there.

Did JCB racing at the one in Kent a few years ago, fantastic fun and I came second (would have been first but for some cheating by my opponent)

Just had a good look around the website - that looks like awesome fun!! ..and there's even one here opp north!!

Only downside is that fookin' theme tune is stuck in my head now!

[N1CK]

We went a few years ago for a company day out. We were the only adults doing it which was a bit embarassing! Great fun though.

Free entry?

I went last year with my 4 year old son and my brother - good fun for boys from say 4-16, above that I can see people getting a bit bored. We enjoyed it though and good fr the kids - beats playing in the sandpit.

6 years old - a bit optmisitc don't you think!

Did it for my birthday - was a laugh.

The only thing is that the jibs on the diggers cannot reach each other, so you cannot engage in a duel!

:-)

"So, what do I do?"
"Dig a hole"

Next person's turn

"So, what do I do?"
"Fill the hole"

Great fun
