What is the Push Ride Experience?

The Push Ride Experience offers attendees the chance to feel the adrenaline of competitive bobsledding and skeleton activities using actual competition-grade equipment.

Thrilling Bobsleigh and Skeleton Experience

Participants will ride on real bobsleighs, allowing them to experience the sport's excitement safely on land. In the skeleton event, riders lie face down on the sled and glide down the track, feeling the rush of gravity as they navigate each curve.

Designed for safety, this version of luge ensures everyone, including first-timers, can enjoy the thrill and joy it brings. Kids and families are bound to leave with smiles and unforgettable memories!

Guidance from Real Athletes

The event will feature direct instruction from the best. Olympic athlete Seiya Kobayashi, who represented Japan at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, will be among the coaches guiding participants through the basics of riding, speed control, and safe gliding techniques.
