Challenge Racing
1992 - 2015
Challenge Racing was a go kart ride that was in Cedar Point's Challenge Park.
Originally the track was one giant track and only ran one type of car. This set up would remain this way until the end of the 1998 season.
In 1999 the track was splint into two tracks and a third track was built. The attraction was renamed Triple Challenge Racepark. It would remain this way until the end of the 2001 season. |
Challenge Racing was built and manufactured by Formula K Raceways.
Grand Prix Track
Sprint Track
The cars on the sprint track were all themed to Cedar Point rides. This was really cool and made the ride more unique.
The ride had cars for Maverick, Gemini, Skyhawk, Shoot the Rapids, WildCat, Disaster Transport, Mean Streak, Chaos, maXair, Millennium Force, Iron Dragon, Gemini, Corkscrew, Power Tower, Raptor, and Top Thrill Dragster. |
