High-speed electric go-karts
Two indoor tracks, all-electric karts and a layout with no straightaways, so you are accelerating out of almost every turn right before braking again.
Pricing
You and up to five friends. Required head socks included.
Two tracks, twice the fun
Cadet and pro karts always run on separate tracks. For safety they are never combined: the two kinds of kart are built differently, and their bumpers do not line up.
Riders in different height categories can both race. They race on their own track.
High-Speed Electric Go-Karts — height, weight and gear
- Cadet Track
- 48" up to 58".
- Pro Track
- 58" and above.
- Track
- Height determines which track a racer uses. It is not a choice, and there is no discretion at the counter.
- Age
- There is no minimum age. Height is the only requirement.
- Controls
- Drivers must be able to get in and out of the kart independently and reach the controls.
- Weight
- Maximum 300 lbs.
- Head Sock
- A Dezerland head sock is required and is worn under the helmet. One per racer, not one per race.
- Hair
- Long hair must be tied up and tucked inside the head sock before the helmet goes on. It may not hang loose behind the racer.
- Footwear
- Closed-toed shoes are required to enter the pit area at all, including for an adult accompanying a child. No open-toed shoes, sandals or flip-flops. There are no exceptions.
- Clothing
- Close-fitting clothing that covers the arms and legs, and shoes with short laces. Loose or hanging clothing may catch in a moving kart, and track staff decide whether attire is safe to race in.
- Loose Items
- No scarves, no loose clothing and no loose personal items; loose hair is secured above the shoulder. Failure to comply could result in severe injury or death.
- Race Length
- A race is 7 minutes. It is timed rather than run to a set number of laps, and it is the same on both tracks.
- Briefing
- The safety briefing takes 5 minutes and includes helmet fitting. It is required on every visit, including for guests who have raced before. Repeat races on the same day do not need a second briefing.
- Track Flags
- Green: go. Yellow: slow down, no overtaking. Red: stop. Blue: let the faster kart pass. Checkered: the race is over, return to the pits. Black: come into the pits; the driver is taken off the track.
- The Waiver
- A signed waiver (opens in a new tab) is required for every participant, for every attraction. A parent or natural guardian signs for anyone under 18.
- Alcohol and Drugs
- Anyone who has consumed alcohol, or appears to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other substance, may not use any attraction, the go-karts included.
- The Rule
- Cadet karts and pro karts never run on the same track together. Not when the track is otherwise empty, not for a private or exclusive race, and not for a family who would like to ride together.
- The Reason
- The bumper impact zones on the two kart types sit at different heights. In a collision between them, one kart can ride up over the other instead of being pushed away.
- In Practice
- A parent and a child in different height bands can both race, on their own separate tracks. If racing together is the point of the trip, measure everyone before you travel.
- Contact
- Deliberate contact, blocking and using another kart to slow down are not permitted. A driver who does so is removed from the track with no re-entry.
- Heart
- Guests with a heart condition may not race.
- Pregnancy
- Guests who are pregnant may not race.
- Other Conditions
- Guests with dizziness, back problems, other physical ailments, or a cast may not race.
Checked at the attraction, every visit. All requirements, activity by activity
Racing and alcohol don’t mix.
Nobody uses any attraction after drinking, and the track is no exception. There is no breathalyzer and no field sobriety testing on a go-kart track, so the rule is simply that anyone who has consumed alcohol, or appears to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other substance, is excluded from every attraction, whether they have paid or not. Race first, then visit the bar.
