Bumper Cars- Track Or Rectangle?

[pgathriller]

Do you like the simple rectangle layout of bumper car buildings or do you like the track version of bumper car buildings. I like the rectangle more because you can actually bump people. On the track versions you go one way and it really isn't all that fun. Tell us what you like and the best bumper cars you have ever been on.

I like the track, but only with the heavier old cars. Those were gresat for spin-outs.

All I have to say is, bumping is better!

I'm going to have to say rectangle. There's just more mayhem in a rectangle, especially if it is a large rectangle. The track is alright, but I'm just not fond of it.

[YoshiFan]

Rectangle, I hate when a park makes you drive one way and not allow head on collisions

[trustkill22]

Rectangles are super fun because im an idiot and go full speed at a wall with springs and when it bounces me back I hit people.

Rectangle. I don't like being told where to go.

[ParkTrips]

Assuming track means the ones with the dividers, I actually prefer them because that sets up some spin-out opprotunities. Nothing like running parallel to someone and then stalling out a bit before the turnaround only to spin out your partner

I prefer the track with the old fast scooters

Scooters in Seaside, Oregon. Haven't been there yet, but it's on my short list.

I like bouncing off the tires on the track at SFMW. Somtimes I have gone in the opposite direction the whole time, and the ride ops didn't care! They said it was alright since there were only five people riding.

Rectangle arena's. Especially PGA's...

I like track more than the rectangle because of the spin-out opportunities.

I also like the track because you can get more speed then hit someone. When in a rectangle, there are so many people going all over that you cant get any speed.

[shesaidboom]

Rectangle. Head-on collisions are much more fun. With the track it's harder to bump people because they're driving around at the same speed as you.

[Scaparri]

Track all the way. I haven't even experienced it with old, heavy cars. I had a blast on SFOT's. I felt the lightness of the cars made it sort of easy to spin people out. Lots of fun and total mayhem if somebody wrecked in front of another. The track style really reminds me of Destruction Derby and Demolition Racer for PS1.

[Angry_Gumball]

Rectangle. I hate being limited on what I can do on bumper cars...well, it is fun to be like driving on the road and cut people off, side swipe them, or deliberately stall in front of them.

I prefer the track with the old fast scooters

Yeah, the ones at Visionland are the best!

[Real]

I like the track, but only with the heavier old cars. Those were gresat for spin-outs.

 

Ditto.

[pgathriller]

How do you make a car have a spin out? Is it like doing a pit manuver to another car?

[twisted_propaganda]

I can't remember where it was, but I've been on a bumper car thing where it was a donut shape and we just had to drive in circles. Turning the steering wheel left was the accelerator, and turning it right was brake/reverse. It was stupid.

[kidcoaster]

I like the track because you get more speed. My favorite is the one at Conneaut lake Park they have to be the fastest especilly the blue 11 car.

[ECZenith]

I like the track version because of the pileups and bumping opportunities they create.

 

SFNE has a great bumper car track in Crackaxle Canyon, the floor-powered ones.

[CoasterFanatic]

Gots to be a track. I wanna hit maximum speed before punishing the 10 year old kids while their parents watch in disgust.

[okinawaboy11]

Track. SFA has surprisingly fast bumper cars with a nice long cycle.

[lapseofreason]

Rectangle. I hate when they make you go all one way; I like to go veer off in the other direction, get some speed, and totally slam into someone that's trying to drive NORMAL.

 

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they switch Geauga Lake's to a track a few years ago?
