West Country Water Park - Go Karting
We visited for the Go-Karting and ended up pulling our son off the track early. The organiser was friendly enough, but the marshals are very inexperienced and lack any interest of safety on track. There were drivers on track that were driving dangerously, purposely ramming other karts and not respecting the flags. It was more like a scene of bumper cars at the fairground. One lad never slowed down on any yellow flag and at one point drove fast around a kart that was being handled by a marshal on track. These drivers not once got black flagged and spoken to. For safety reasons we stopped the race and took our son off the track as it was a big accident waiting to happen. The quality of the track is very bad. It is extremely bumpy, to the point it caused red marks on our son’s back. It is a shame as it could be a great venue, but there is A LOT of work that needs to be done to make it more safe, professional and competitive with other venues. Improvements on the track and more staff training on safety and the use of flags would be a huge start. I’m afraid we won’t be returning.
