The 800-meter go-kart racetrack at Enchanted Kingdom, the first and only top-tier amusement park in the Philippines, has reopened with brand-new karts suitable for both children and adults.
Mario O. Mamon, President and CEO of EK, and Vivienne Cruz, Vice President of Yokohama Tires Philippines, conducted the reopening ceremony on February 25. At the EK Fun Kart, world race car driver Marlon Stockinger and father-and-son racing champions Carlos and Iñigo Anton demonstrated their driving prowess. Alonzo Anton, Carlos’ eight-year-old son, tested the cadet kart intended for drivers aged eight to twelve.
“To make the ride more inclusive, EK added four cadet karts for the younger members of the family to enjoy,” Mr. Mamon shared. “We also have 12 brand new single seaters and five two-seater karts. EK also added a new lap-timing system for more fun and friendly competition,” he added.
International race car driver Marlon Stockinger shared that he was here when EK Fun Kart first opened in 2003. “It gave me a lot of experiences, a lot of good teachings towards my racing career. I think it’s a good place to hone your skills as a driver. So, whether you want to enjoy or bring your family – or if you want to take racing seriously eventually – this is a great training ground,” he said.
The Fun Kart which closed for five months due to the renovation period boasts an enhanced building and new paint markings. It also features new tire barriers in partnership with world-class quality tires company Yokohama Tires Philippines.
“We are glad to partner with Yokohama Tires Philippines who are aligned with EK’s priority to ensure the safety of our guests to deliver a seamless and magical experience here at the park,” Mr. Mamon added.
Alonzo Anton, eight-year-old son of champion car racer Carlos Anton, drove the newly launched EK Fun Kart cadet kart for eight to 12-year-old drivers.
Wednesday through Sunday from 12 PM till the park closes is when the Fun Kart is open. Karts with one seat cost Php 800, those with two seats cost Php 950, and cadet carts cost Php 650.
