If you like bumper cars, come experience the thrill of driving them on ice! With the ability to spin 360 degrees, it is a safe and fun way to provide excitement and entertainment for the whole family! Slide, spin, and bump your family and send them twirling around the ice. Their controls are like playing a video game only you’re in it, and you can choose to zoom around the ice, smash into other cars in true bumper form, or simply sit and spin in circles!
