Elevated Track — The Wild Woody
The Wild Woody is one of The Track’s signature elevated go-kart tracks. This favored course takes riders up a three-and-a-half-story wooden track for a thrilling ride before circling back down.
Slick Track
The Slick Track offers riders an extra dose of go-karting fun. Though shorter than the other tracks, this one is designed with a special surface that enables racers to slip and slide as they cruise around the track multiple times to see who will come out on top.
Family Track
Like the name suggests, the Family Track is designed for the whole family! This classic, curvy course features a traditional figure-eight go-kart track with an overpass, and is suitable for both single and double go-kart riding.
Super Track
Only available at The Track’s Gulf Shores location, the Super Track offers riders a more challenging track to tame. This twisty course is designed with more curves than the Family Track that test riders’ skills and make for an extra exciting experience.
Rookie Track
The Rookie Track is perfect for older/school-age children who aren’t ready for or tall enough to take on the larger tracks. This course offers younger riders a fun experience in a more contained environment while still giving them that sense of independence.
Kiddie Karts
For the youngsters who are itching to drive but don’t yet meet the weight and height requirements for the other tracks, Kiddie Karts is just the ticket. This kid-friendly track is specifically designed to give riders in the 3’6” to 4’0” height range an introduction to go-kart driving in a fun and safe environment.
Soak, Spin, and Soar: Rides Galore
The Track Family Fun Park’s go-kart tracks are only the beginning of all the fun waiting to be had! The park also features a wide range of entertaining rides to enjoy.
