With four incredible tracks to conquer, the adventure never gets old. Jungle Trail is great for family rides, Kupu Kupu Trail is ideal for younger riders easing into the experience, Expedition Trail brings fast turns and tunnels for those craving a little more action, while the 688m Dragon Trail is the ultimate challenge for confident thrill seekers!

Nobody gets left on the sidelines here. The whole family can join in on the action as little ones who haven't quite hit the solo-riding height requirement can ride along with an adult.
