Chron Critiques: Supercharged Entertainment

Supercharged Entertainment, located in Edison, New Jersey, is home to the world’s largest indoor multi-level go-karting track. At Supercharged, you can, of course, take a spin on the go-karts in an intense and high-speed race, but you can also try axe throwing, bionic bumper cars, the drop and twist tower, virtual reality or the extensive gaming arcade. Needleless to say, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit Supercharged Entertainment with my friends for the first time. We were all excited to check it out, though we were expecting a long wait time since there is usually at least an hour-long wait. Thankfully, that was not the case.
The wait was only 20-30 minutes, and upon entering there were plenty of great safety measures. Before you get in line, you must sign a quick and simple waiver on your phone. When in line, each person in your group must add their name to a piece of paper, which is then sent over to the cashiers so that your payment is ready to be given when you reach the register.
Knowing the popularity and uniqueness of Supercharged Entertainment, I was expecting this to be an expensive outing. However, the price was reasonable. For one race, it was $29 per person. My group of six chose the two-race bundle, which was $58 per person. If you’re feeling up to it, you can choose the three-race bundle which is $81 per person.
There are two tracks for go-karting, and each race lasts for nearly 10 minutes. Safety is once again a priority at Supercharged Entertainment, as you must put on a stylish and hard safety helmet that feels like you’re a NASCAR driver. You are also given a neck brace that buckles.
The race, as mentioned before, was fast. It was exciting all throughout and is the perfect avenue for some great competition between you and your family or friends. There are some tough turns that may pose challenging to some, but this is a professional track with updated and technologically advanced go-karting materials.
Supercharged Entertainment is worth checking out. If you plan on going, however, know that as of now, they are not accepting online reservations. It is operating on a walk-in, first come, first serve basis.
