Go Karts Plus August 1998 (Part 3 of 3)

Welcome back folks!

Today will be our last day at Go Karts Plus, August 1998!

Our focus today will be the Bumper Boats attraction at Go Karts Plus.

Like many Family Entertainment Centers across the United States, the Bumper Boats here at Go Karts Plus are a staple still operating today!


To start you first get unchained from the dock! There is definitely a learning curve in the steering too...




then you go out a little ways from the dock and perfect your navigating skills...



and then once you have everything down just right, go in for the bump!


A good bump, as seen above, can really throw some water around!

The bumper boats shown above have been replaced in favor of newer ones that feature a water jet connected to the boat to allow you to soak your opponent in an entirely new ay. The newer boats can be seen here and are now called the Blaster Bumper Boats. These newer boats also feature a striped pattern on the inflatable tubes surrounding the boat, differing from the solid color tubes of the originals.

That wraps things up for Go Karts Plus 1998! Be sure to check back tomorrow for Part 1 of many to come on Busch Gardens Williamsburg from August 1998!
