Buckle up and get ready, because a Mario Kart-inspired racetrack is prepping to open for the season as early as a few weeks from now.
The Niagara Speedway located at the top of Clifton Hill is the largest elevated go-kart track facility in North America, which combines the go-kart racing experience with the thrill of a roller coaster ride.
Featuring hair-pin turns and thrilling ramps, this extensive track spreads across four acres and takes you through a four-story spiral, followed by two rollercoaster-style ramps.
The go-karts can pick up serious speed, hitting up to 32 km/hr as they are powered by a large 4 stroke Honda motor with 9 HP.
If the weather continues to be mild, the Niagara Speedway aims to open during March Break, but is weather dependent.
Worst case scenario, the racetrack will open on March 30, 2024.
Tickets must be purchased onsite and in-person, and are priced at $13 for a five minute race for drivers, while passengers pay $4 for the race.
