Mashantucket,
CT – September 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Foxwoods®
Resort Casino announces the next step in its evolution as the Northeast’s
premier full-service resort destination: a high-performance, European-style
indoor karting center.
The track, which will feature dramatic elevation changes and hairpin turns,
is set to join the recently opened Foxwoods
Thrill Tower and upcoming HighFlyer Zipline as another standout addition
to Foxwoods’ impressive portfolio of adventure attractions.
Foxwoods
teamed up with On Track Karting, a recognized leader in the karting industry,
to offer guests a true motorsport feel on one of the longest and fastest
indoor kart runs ever constructed. The top-of-the-line, multi-level track
will feature gas-powered, nine-horsepower karts that give drivers the power
and control necessary for the ultimate high-speed rush.
“Our
goal is to continue to provide more fun and exciting reasons for guests
to visit Foxwoods,” said Felix Rappaport, President and CEO of Foxwoods
Resort Casino. “As a leader in the entertainment industry, this is the
next logical step as we continue to evolve into the premier resort destination
in North America.”
Foxwoods,
together with racing enthusiast and star of Fast N’ Loud Richard
Rawlings, made the announcement in front of a packed crowd at the New Hampshire
Motor Speedway in advance of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ ISM
Connect 300. Rawlings also unveiled a kart emblazoned with his Gas Monkey
Garage logo that he promises to take back to his famed shop, where
he will work his magic to turn it into the fastest kart on the track.
Construction
is set to begin in late September and the karting center is scheduled to
open in early 2018. To get your engine started, visit Foxwoods.com/karting
