IT'S NOT SAFE. I experienced severe back and neck pain when a child was allowed to run at full speed (16-20 mph) into the back of my car while I was stopped and parked inside the terminal. I had my 5 yr old son in the kart with me. His back was also hurt but he seemed to recover being so young. I've been in a car accident before going at faster speeds than those karts and it didn't hurt this bad. I tried to get insurance info from the parents of the boy's guardians and they refused and we're very confrontational. Someone went and got a manager from the go kart place to tell me that the sign says "ride at your own risk." They have several more signs that say "no bumping" which are also posted on the back on each car, but I guess that doesn't matter. My injuries were blown off by staff and the guardians of the boy who did the ramming left. The manager, who looked barely in his 20s, then gave us a refund for the remaining rides that we could not ride because of my injuries. I guess no one but me will be paying for my medical bills for my injured back and neck. I don't recommend this place or any of the others because you are not protected of you're injured. No one will help you. No one will do the right thing and take responsibility to pay for your medical bills if it was their fault. The track itself was fun when there was no one ramming you from all sides. This is my second time coming to Tennessee for vacation but I don't think we'll be coming back after how poorly this situation was handled. Rider are not protected or have any rights to be taken care of if an injury occurs on any of the rides. It truely is "at your own risk." I just didn't realize it until it actually happened to me. Other states have laws protecting a ride against injuries. Tennessee apparently does not...

Safety First!! We purchased three go kart passes for each person in our party but ended using only 2. The first time two boys kept bumping and purposely trying to bump and run into people, I advised the staff and they seemed to blow it off. We waited for the next round, and the staff allowed the boys to join again. The boys continued to purposely run into myself causing me to skid out twice, and my daughter once. They hit other people too. At the end I said something again to the guys on the track and they shrugged it off. Thinking they were going to talk to the boys as we lined up for the third time, the boys were back in line planning who they were going to hit this time to make them spin out. I said something a third time and watched to see this time of something was said, nothing was and they allowed the boys to race again. We left. The track is awesome, but the fact that they knowingly allowed kids to plan and purposely try to hurt others should not have...

It was very fun to ride. (Although some racers were a pain) Im not sure that I can recommend it though. I could not see any measures in place for covid. No one was wearing masks, including staff, though that might just be a Tennessee thing. (It is fair to note that it is an outdoor establishment, but taking into account that everyone was fairly close together, that currently the vaccination rate of tennessee is 33% fully vaccinated and 38% with at least one dose as of this review, ranking terribly nation-wide vaccine wise, and that a new more contagious delta variant is spreading, it is still not acceptable) There were also no attempts to sanitize anything, something Id like to see even if covid wasnt a thing. There is also the fact that the $6.75 price per person advertised on the website was actually $8. Overall I cant in good conscience recommend this Adventure...
