There
were go kart tracks. We could take the kids to the Green Scene in North
Boulder. Video arcade games, miniature golf, batting cages, and go
karts. That was worth a couple hours. Then a Malibu Grant Prix
opened in North Denver. Again, video arcade, and a go kart track, but
these karts were patterned after Formula 1 cars. It felt like a step up.
Malibu
Grand Prix is long gone, but now there are F1 Galleries. Food, drink, and
Formula 1 race simulators, with feedback. Sophisticated high-end
immersive simulators for people to race against each other at specific F1
tracks, with up to 20 racers at a time. Driver’s view screens that keep it real
for each participant, and another higher-level view that allows the gathered
fans to watch and root for their favorite drivers. Competitive
Socializing.
We
haven’t been to an F1 Arcade yet, but there is one in Denver, so it could
happen. The dream lives on.
