Wait, there was a coaster an hour from me I hadn't ridden?

Andretti Thrill Park, who knew?

So my friend Matt was down in Florida visiting family, he happened to stop by Andretti Thrill Park to play some mini-golf before dinner with his family and ended up discovering a new coaster that had just recently opened in Melbourne, Florida. It wasn't listed on RCDB nor were there any sort of references to the ride at the time. Matt sent me a text if I knew anything about it and I hadn't. Shocked and horrified there was a coaster so close to me and I hadn't ridden it yet, the first chance Jeff and I got to drive out to Melbourne... we stopped at Andretti and got our credit, that turned out to be much more than a +1.

Woo, Andretti Thrill Park!

It's uh... thrilling?

The main entrance is also a pretty basic arcade, with ride tickets paid for at the redemption counter in back.

Oh man! Where they had this amazing Duck Lamp as a prize!

There was also a neat (small) looking Ropes Course built above the arcade.

Outside, was a pretty nice mini-golf course

And it was included with the armband so we played a round.

These paddle boats, that we skipped, were also on the armband.

Uh... a Rock Wall, the Andretti Edge.

Oh and they had 5 go kart tracks (4 adult and 1 kids)
((although one of the adult tracks was an up-charge and not on the armband))

We rode the 2 bigger (included) tracks.

It was very intense.... or maybe just for her.

The Super Speedway track.

Batting Cages

They also had this little street train.
I think we only saw it go past once... but the owners of Andretti must love the thing....

Because they own THREE of them!
haha

The F1 Track

Little play area...

And um, a random tea cup ride

And mini flying swings, hidden away toward the back of the complex.

From the mini-golf, the parks old actual miniature train track was still visible. It made a loop behind the golf course and into a tunnel by the boat pool. most of the tracks had been ripped up but a few were still in place along the back fence. I wonder what kind of train it was... since there is so little info on the place.
(and I'm sure it was way better than their current train)

And most exciting of all... The fantastic Andretti Family Coaster!

This SBF/Visa built Spinning Coaster might not look like much.. but if you get an unbalanced car... You'll experience the most spinning on a spinning coaster I've come across so far!

Each cycle gives you 4 or 5 laps around the track, and the car just doesn't stop spinning.

Tire Boost lift hill

I'd be totally fine with Fun Spot adding one of these to both of their parks.
(I also think it'd make a pretty awesome enclosed/dark ride coaster)

haha, yeesss... We must have ridden it a good six times during our short visit.

And... if you'd like to see how much the damn thing spins.. just check out my Vine POV here!
