Good experience

Very fun and thrilling atmosphere. Beautiful scenery. Went on 11am one hour ride on the eighth of November, weather was nice. One hour went so quick because of how enjoyable the ride was! Just take caution with your back as it can be a bumpy ride! Reccommend.

A great ride

Driver was a character, explained what was going to happen well and gave clear instructions for safety. Added some humor. A great ride.
