“The Comet” Bobsled at Utah Olympic Park
Park City, UT
Road: I-80
Travelers who feel the need for speed can opt to bobsled down The Comet racecourse—a track that hosted 14 medal events during the 2002 Olympics. Even in summer, visitors can join a four-man sled piloted by a professional driver that hits speeds of up to 80 mph and drops 40 stories in under a minute. Kids 16 and older can experience the thrill of speed, the physical challenge of athletics, and the sheer joy of physics when they feel the force of 5Gs.
