Enchanted Kingdom reopens gokart track, launches cadet karts

-

ENCHANTED Kingdom (EK), the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippine­s, reopened its 800-meter go-kart race track, featuring brand new karts for kids and adults.

The reopening ceremony was led by EK President and Chief Executive Officer Mario Mamon and Yokohama Tires Philippine­s Vice President Vivienne Cruz. Father and son racing champions Carlos and Iñigo Anton and internatio­nal race car driver Marlon Stockinger exhibited their driving skills at the EK Fun Kart.

Stockinger shared that he was here when EK Fun Kart first opened in 2003.

“It gave me a lot of experience­s, a lot of good teachings towards my racing career. I think it’s a good place to hone your skills as a driver. So, whether you want to enjoy or bring your family — or if you want to take racing seriously eventually — this is a great training ground,” he said.

The Fun Kart, which closed for five months due to the renovation period, boasted an enhanced building and new paint markings. It also features new tire barriers in partnershi­p with world-class quality tires company Yokohama Tires Philippine­s.

The Fun Kart is open from Wednesdays to Sundays, from 12 p.m. until the park closes. Single-seater karts can be availed for P800, P950 for two-seater karts, and P650 for the cadet carts.
